How long, how long must we sing this song?
So after my drinking unresponsibly two weekends ago, I made some changes in my life. I'm no longer drinking during the week. I'm not getting completely wrecked anymore, just wanna sip and be buzzed and such. I'm really enjoying going to some parties and not forgetting everything.
I broke that promise last Saturday. Scott was at St. Joe's during his break from the Navy until he gets stationed somewhere. Joe and I decided to go to White Castle then go to St. Joe's and surprise the guys (Stevie was gonna be there too). So we got in the car, drove an hour and 45 minutes to White Castle in New Brunswick, NJ and bought two "Crave Cases" so it was about $40. Then we drove the hour and 15 minutes back to St. Joe's in Philly and when we pulled into the parking lot, Mark and Scott were just about to leave to get some liquor and they were so surprised to see us pull up. We hugged and talked a little bit and they were just elated to see us. We enter to building and I call Onna to come and get us and she gladly comes down. She was so genuinely happy to see us and it was really great to get a chance to see her. We go into Chris' room and Stevie and him are in the back playing video games. We walk in and just to see their faces was worth the entire drive. It made us feel great that they were so happy to see us. It was a feeling I can't describe, and a feeling like none other.
Which brings me to my next topic...the Champions of Life. My grading standard for letting in new members only has a few things. First and foremost--"Is this a person I would risk bodily harm to myself for?" I can securely say a resounding "YES" for all the current members and a few of the CLiTs. Second--"Does this person demonstrate the qualities of a COL on a daily basis?" "Will this person do anything for the group and never expect others to do things for him?"
I love my friends.
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
