And so it begins
Coming Summer 2005 !
Well... I'm glad to offically announce that I did it. Yes you heard it correct, I fully completed High School with all required credits. I conqured my exams, and for the last few weeks of school I really buckled down. But who am I kidding I've never took school seriously, Hell, I've never taken life seroiusly. But unfortunlty, this will all change over a short few mounths. As I sit hear and type this I remind myself of all the memories High school has given me, all the great friendships, and all the notso great friendships. All of the lasting impressions that people made on me. And all of the insane, humorious, and mostly at times annoying... impresions I made on other people.
I will never forget alot of things from highschool, and I'll never forget all the times that from start to finish, peoples true colors were reveled. Even myself would be considered guilty of such a crime. I do admit, 9th Grade Fresh of from Bemis Ryan, would not know what hit him, if he ran into the post-12th Grade Grad, shell of a person that I once was.
In the start of 9th Grade the most important things/events in my life were
1. MTG - a card game which was played at Wizards of the Coast before it was shutdown
2. Boys & Girls Club
3. Education
4. Family Problems
5. Anime Fetish - [no not the porn stuff - i was big into dbz]
Now a days my prioties look more like this
1. Future- Concerned about future in Graphic Design
2. Friends - Staying in touch with the people closest to me
3. Looking For a job/Getting a license
4. Wrestling - Belive it or not !!
5. Physical Apperance - Working out / Tattoo's / Being Bald all that jazz.
Most of these changes are natural with a coming of age and happen to every one. But its just fun to be looking back at the past 4 years of my, wich were the funnest of my life, but were also the most challenging so far, and even though hind sight is said to be 20/20 [and i hate usinging common expressions] I have been told and do agree that it doesn't get easier. I look at the group of friends that I have now, and only wish the best for all of them. I do also hope to stay in touch with as many of them as I realistically can. But with all of reality sets in, as hard as i try, ties get broken and people grow apart. Its just how events in life take there course. So I want to take this time to acknowedge any one with in the sound of my voice [err, i mean text?] that if there ever is or were any animoicity[pardon my bad spelling] between us, that I am sorry, and will try to live a more just, and less obnixous life.
And as to all of my friends out there that I am on good terms with, for I can not that you all enough. You are all the greatest gifts of my life, for it is all of you in wich molded me, and through the memories that we have shared through the years, have grafted and shaped me into the person that I am today. I do have to admit, not everyone out there see's the same side of me as each other. The expression "to each his/her own"[Damn another expression]Would kind of explain my influence on other people. Some people find me an , self center jackass, Other people find me a warm-harted philatropic person who could do no wrong. Either it be one end of the spectrum or the other, I am not here to prove any one right or wrong, we all have our flaws, and we all have our accomplishments. But back onto topic, the events in how I depict my life, are primarliay influnced by the friends,experiences,and hardships that I have went through in my life.
In short, thank you all for making me the person that I am.
Thinking now about the big crossroad that lies before me inlife, the few decisions i now have laid before me will depict the rest of my life.
Education... - How do I make the right choice
I AM SPECIFICALLY DETERMINED TO GO INTO A TECHNOLOGICAL FEILD... More specificaly, computers. Even more ... I'm still debating in between Graphic Design, and Video Game Design.
I know people change there majors on avg. 3 even 4 times before finishing colledge, but I have put alot of thought in to this and have narrowed it down to 2. But am I making the right choice... with all this training and all this knowledege will it get me a job?, will that job pay good? will I have a busy schedule?, what about time for a family?, will I have to move?, How would I stay close the people that meant the most to me ?
These are all very good questions, and I have thought alot about it, and will have to think even more. Any one willing to give some words of wisdom, or points of reference would help.
This will be my last update for some time, I know I've amused the hell out of all of you before, and I know that if you've read this far you must be either really bored, or really comited to making me feal good.. so thanks to those who've made it this far. We did it together, and its almost done.
So in closing, to take from a good childhood story, a good friend of mine, Frosty the Snowman...
"... He Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day"
