Wednesday April one one, two thousand-seven, ALRIGHT - 1234!

Oh man, how do I start this? It's been so long since I've updated anything. Maybe I should update on my life more often, eh? Sound like a plan? Alright

As usual, life is always changing - even if you feel like nothing is changing, it really is. Even as I type out this journal entry. Journal entries, geeze....you know what I think about when I think about Journal entries? DOUG! Remember how in every episode, at the beginning and end, it would show him writing in his journal? "Dear Journal..." he'd say as he scribbles along the fine lines, going about his day. It's old things like that I miss - and that's why I hate life sometimes: Because it's always changing!


Some of these changes I've been undergoing lately have been rough. Most of the time, with all that has happened since I've graduated, I've been able to just brush off muh shoulder and move on.

But lately - Eh.

Most of my older friends are heading out now. One way to look at it is how to realize how much things have changed. From being best friends with George throughout middle school & high school, to going out skating/snowboarding with Rick and Ajay, to having all the fun parties with everybody.


Rick is out in the West, to the Air Force

Ajay is out living it up in Boston College

Ben is out at Kent

And George will be leaving soon to do a side project documentary on what it's like to live in his car for a month.


Change is good though, too.

For one thing, I've been smoke free for the past four to five weeks now. You'd think, with this being such a big accomplishment, that I'd keep track on how long it's been since I've last had a cigarette. But for me, it helps to not make it too big of a deal in my head...then it gets tempting when the thought of a cigarette lingers in my mind for too long.

I've also been dating this girl named Lauren. Her and I have been going out for over a month now, and things have been great. She has really been a big lift for me. With everybody leaving, Lauren has really made my past month and a halfish. This is one of the first serious relationships I've ever had - ever. Weird, right?

Oh, another big change - I won't be a teen anymore soon...I turn 20 on the 16th. EEK!


With dating Lauren, I also have gotten acquainted with some of her best friends. I never really knew the Westlake community, but I've been getting a good taste of it lately. And you know what it tastes like? MONEY! JK! Hanging out with folks like Kristen, Alyssa, Lexi, Chris, and Mara has added a new flavor to my living. It's just nice having something refreshing in my life - especially at a time when so much has left.



I'm done - I'll type a better entry next time
