Well I was just typing and reminiscing on last summer, and summers past. It's not summer yet, not summer by a long shot; but jeez, you couldn't fool me with this weather. Now this isn't going to be some boring drawn out post about how lovely the weather is and how bi-polar Maryland weather is. Simply put it's been this way for the 23.5 years I've existed and lived here.
But I was just thinking, WOW! it's been forever since I've written anything in this Blog that I started 3 months ago. Maybe my life has been so boring that I'd rather not bore you with my daily routine of work-school-sleep-repeat. I mean I could but I'd prob lose a lot of followers.
I was speaking to one of my best friends tonight, and Iw as just saying how I have this feeling the next 200 days are going to be quite interesting. She was like, "What are you talking about?" simply put I threw out a specific number. But I seriously within the next 200 days is pretty much til the end of the year. In my mind I just have this thought big things will happen.
I went into 2013 with a few goals
1- Either publish my first book or come darn close.
2- Go To the Temple for the first time.
3- Get a new job.
4- Strive to do my best in school.
5- Make memories to share with my future kids/family, and friends old and new.
Those were my primary goals in no specific order. Not too hard in my eyes. Very ambitious and given the current state of our economy we'll see how one of those plays out. But I went in with 5 goals. One goal was completed in February, and that was going into the temple for the first time, which in retrospect accomplished goal number 5, because that's definitely a memory I can share with the kids and family. I'm doing great in school. (Finally). and I'm making moves to find another job that can better support me.
Now four of those goals are very direct. But there's one goal that just boggles my mind on this night. That's number 5.
Making memories....
As the summer sneaks upon us and makes us realize we haven't been following that pre summer diet or work out routine, we realize, darn we better start making plans. The constant staring at the calendar and decisions on vacation time, and preparations with buddies to have amazing adventures begins as the leaves on the trees start to grow out, and talks of finals become more prevalent. I always looked at April as a preparatory month for the summer. May was usually spent hyping said adventures up and then June, July, August into labor day was the fun.
I sit here tonight contemplating plans I've made with friends- OC, Mountain Biking in Western Maryland, NYC, Philly, Bon fires, BBQs... So many plans, and so many memories to finally fill this blog up with.
Memories made are going to include all those goals. Memories made in each others lives will be the subject matter in future BBQs and reunions. Don't waste a second on the couch. turn the Netflix off and get out there, Summers upon us my friends, don't waste it. Make memories that will last forever and learn eternally from our mistakes. There's no guideline to the perfect summer, it's all on how we make it. So go after it and have fun.
As I said before it's 4am, I'm getting tired. So I'm going to cut this one right here. Don't waste a second, live it all to the fullest.
Good night
The Artist-
