Friend Priorities

Soo I know the point of college is to find your lifelong friends and make new experiences with new people, but sometimes you can't beat your friends from home. I come from a very close group of friends that have been together since 7th grade. We have no reservations with each other and have a complete understanding of where who each other is. I hear of people that haven't even met some of their "best friends" parents. Maybe I just got really lucky by finding a group of 6 girls (ones not up there) that have the same loyalty values that I do. It also might be an inhibitor because sometimes I don't feel the need to make a big effort to make new best friends because I am extremely happy with the ones I already have. I mean it doesn't stop me from being nice to people and making regular friends, just not making that extra effort to go from friends to best friends. 

So my decision seems pretty obvious, but if you had to choose between the friends you've made in college or your ones from home. Could you?

I watch too much SVU

"Hey, Have you seen Josh lately?"

              "No...Not in a few days. Why?"

"I just think it's weird that no one has talked to him all week."

              "I mean, maybe he has just been busy lately.."

"True. I think I'm overreacting"

               "You are."

-One Week Later-

"I knew I wasn't being annoying. We should have said something earlier."

               "It's not like this was really expected."

"I just felt like we could have stopped it. I had no idea things could get this bad."

               "Well, he is paying his price and we will see him in 12 years when he is out."

"No I won't. I will never talk to that pedophile freak ever again."

If anyone has seen this video, you have to. It is the most mindless 3 minutes you will spend, but it is worth it. I thought it was dumb at first, then found myself laughing at all the stupidness. You will want a piece of lint to drag around, promise.

In defense of...

Yes. In defense of Justin Bieber.

I absolutely love him and everything he has done. I really do not like how a lot of people call him a girl or a 13 year old. First off, who didnt look young at 16. Secondly, if anyone saw the Super Bowl commercial he makes fun of himself for his girlish look. If anyone saw the movie, you would know that he is extremely grounded and really humble. He did not have the backing of Disney or Nickelodeon to make him what he is. Just his hard work and the support of a great team. He literally built a mega-million career in one year. A lot of sceptics don't know his story or have not read interviews from him or the people that work with him. He is a normal annoying 16 year old that has had some fortunate breaks and a lot of talent. It seems crazy sitting here trying to defend a pop star, but I think he gets a lot of unfair comments cutting him down as a person and musican. Last time I checked, being able to play drums, guitar, piano, and trumpet, made you a musician. In this months Rolling Stone, he gets very real about his opinions of some big topics, and he does not hold back. His answers aren't well thought out, just honest. I think this is the way he sets up all his interviews, just his real opinions. So leave him alone. He is precious, talented, and not leaving the business anytime soon, so deal.

Please Stop

Britney Spears was one of my childhood idols. She could sing, dance, dress well, and act. Well...that was my opinion when I was 10 and obsessed with Crossroads. Over the years her shaved head, failed marriages, child abuse, and all around trashy behavior has left a bad taste in my mouth. She should have stopped a long time ago so her old fan could remember her as a pop icon, not garbage. But she just couldn't stop and now it is worse than ever. Her new song "Hold it Against Me" makes her lack luster vocals so obvious and knowing her age, just really uncomfortable. So Brit, please stop and let me remember when I loved you during "Baby One More Time" days.

Fail

Sooo. I slightly failed on the no technology of choice for the day. I picked no Facebook. I didn't get on it on a physical computer but I did on my phone. I think I made it a whole 8 hours. Its really bad. I thought it was possible but I guess not. Next time I think I will try to not get on Facebook in time intervals. Like "I'll only stay on it for an hour total today" then less and less. Hopefully it will work, just need to get the will power to make it happen.

Plunge

When I was two years old my cousin (pictured above) pushed me off of a two story flight of stairs. They were to an outside room above the garage so it was over 12 feet. I fell pretty hard on my face. Nothing was wrong with my physically, just a couple bruises. Zach said he was in time out for a while but I don't remember him getting into trouble. Well, I only really remember crying at the foot of the stairs. 

My mom saw it happen. She said that she saw it in slow motion. My mom told me that she wanted to push my cousin off the balcony. She also said time stood still before I got up. She imagined the worst like a broken neck or being paralyzed. 

They seem pretty similar. There is not much room for interpretation. I got pushed and fell. They are the same in the sense that we all know and say there was no permanent damage behind the fall. 

Throwback

(My cousin Zach, Me, My brother Jason)

April. Were all grinning and happy,

Ready to spend the weekend 

With our obnoxious, yet close family.

Your blonde shaggy hair,

My lack of hair and Jason's dark and thick mop.

We couldn't of looked cuter on

Our favorite lake in life vests.

In that moment in time, our relationship

could not have been stronger.

Years went on; friends, school, and 

Sports separated that seemingly invincible bond.

We make attempts a few times a year but,

Why can't we just go back to how things

Were in the April of '92.
