Drinking

[steinizdapimp]

Looks like my friends are drinking again. I just can't find it in my heart to drink anymore, unless it's a special event like Mardi Gras or going to Canada or something like that, and even then, my thoughts on drinking have changed, for myself that is. I don't mind others drinking; I will always see through it because people drink to socialize and have a good time, and on the other hand, others just don't because they don't want to, and that's fine too. Whether someone drinks or not will not determine whether I like them as a friend or not, pretty much just like anything else. I like my close friends here on campus, Andrew, Cade, Gus, Moncy, Susanna, James, Cliff(though it's tough for us to hang out as much during school, but you've always been one of my best friends), Chris (Crazy C), Minh, and others. Many people going to like, and many are going to dislike me, but all that matters is having a good time. Thanks you guys. I don't know where I'd be without the closer friends I have on campus. Some value friends in terms of quantity, but I prefer the quality of the friend because in the long run, the trust and relationship between the closer friends builds stronger. I hate going to a party and meeting people one time and never seeing them again. Most people like one night stands; I hate them. Thanks to you all that have hung out with me throughout these first two years of college; for accepting me who I am despite my religious beliefs and political beliefs, etc. etc. I find it somewhat tough to make close friends with people that are involved with their church weekly because they usually are inclined to get me involved as well, and even though I respect their viewpoint on their kindness and willingness to invite me to their church, I just don't know if I'd fit in so well. First of all, because I'm always doing something different daily, and going to church every Sunday during the year is an underestimated adjustment by those that do go to church. I honestly wish I did go to church every Sunday, but I have a hard enough time keeping up with my schoolwork, and if I can't do that, then how does getting involved with a church organization help me out? Maybe socially, it will, in terms of more easily expressing myself and my belief system, but in terms of top priority, which is college and graduating and getting out into the real world, I don't think it really does. I'll finish this entry by saying this. I'm gonna really try to get my relationship with Jesus stronger, although my father is Jewish, and I respect that as well. My dad married my mother through love and trust, and not religion. My is Presbyterian. Religion had no factor in their marriage, hence it is the same for me, but I do want to read the Bible more and know Jesus's life because it's obviously very important if people have gone to churches to worship him for 2000 years. It'll take time for me to adjust, both hopefully before my life is over, I will.

Time to watch a movie with my homies ;). Peace out everyone.
