A little poem I wrote late at night....

People ask who you are
They wonder what your for
Say your not up to par
I wonder too, learning more
Can i trust you?
Are your priorities in line?
Questions, questions, questions
looking for that sign
that weakness
try to break me down
turn me into something im not
you don't know me
i'm different, not the same
not that same person you once knew
i'm beginning to shine through
can't you see?
take a look.....

it's just me

I don't need empty love words coming from somebody that will never love me like you do.....

Well it has been too long since I have written in my blog so here I go......

Stunt Night is something I had never heard of until last semester when I was asked to be in it. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I didn't know what to expect because I have never done theater anything before. It turned out to be one of the funnest things I have done in a long time! Amazing people getting together to put on a show and have fun. Now that i'm not only dancing but also have two very small speaking roles it really is something that is taking me out of my comfort zone a little bit. The crazy thing is that I love it! I can't wait to do it again! The performance is tomorrow and the excitement is setting in. Woo!

Well my title has nothing to do with Stunt Night so I will leave you with a love quote I found online

"I wished for nothing beyond her smile, and to walk with her thus, hand in hand, along a sun-warmed, flower-bordered path."
--Andre Gide

Poem I wrote For Ashley

Over the years

I have been blind

Because she

Is who I was trying to find

That special someone

To always hold

At football games when it’s cold

The one I dance with in her room

That familiar smell of her perfume

Walking, feeling that cold night air

Remembering the way she wears her hair

Looking up at those star filled skies

Seeing that same sparkle in her eyes

When I’m with her

I feel like flying

Feeling pain when she is crying

She is one of a kind

Always in my mind

Her smile

Her laugh

Her eyes

Her hair

Living without her is like not having air

I never thought I could ever

Fall in love and live forever

With my angel

My love

My heaven

Stop to smell the flowers....

Well what can I say....

I am truly blessed....

Blessed with family....

Blessed with friends....

Blessed with life....

Today has been one of the best days of my life! I'm going to break it down....

Walking without shoes for a day was an amazing experience. I saw a little bit of what people less fortunate than I go through. I realized something so simple as well. Texture. Getting to feel all the different surfaces (Some not so pleasant) was really a great experience. It may seem trivial but I enjoyed it.

Next came....friends. I just really had a great time with friends today. Going to Sonic and hanging out at the concert stuff and just sitting in the Quad. Playing Nuke'Em and basketball just really show it as well. We get competitive sometimes (Mainly me) but always are friends in the end.

James Caronna and Jimmy Needham=Laughter. Laughter is something I really cherish and love to do. A little laughter a day can keep you alive longer. It's what helps me go on when I feel like I have nothing. When i'm down I go to two things, laughter and music. I was already in a great mood so when I went to the concert tonight and saw those guys perform was just so awesome! They said some amazing things as well that really hit home. I will mention those later.

My tests! i was so nervous about tests this week and I was relieved when I got some decent grades in both Microeconomics and BCIS. So that made me happy.

There was a time in CFC that I once made an analogy about Taylor using flowers. (no homo) But I like using it in different situations. Today was perfect because it really made me realize how blessed I am. I'm am going off the cuff now so here it goes...

Beauty in life is a blessing. Sometimes it is hard to see. Thats because it has yet to bud and open up to you. When it does don't let it fly by. Embrace it! stop and smell those flowers!

My flowers today were my family, friends, music and laughter.

What were your flowers today?

If your reading this, I challenge you to find your flowers everyday and embrace the beauty in your life. (That's right, homework)

Jimmy Needham said something tonight that stuck with me. As promised, I will share it now. He talked about how we all want fame, money and stuff of that nature. He used himself as an example. His measure of success is how many albums and number ones he has. But he mentioned that God should be the most famous. No matter what we do, God should be at the top of the charts. Just Point. Point at Him and give him a shout out. Let him know that you love God's song and you want to sing it to everyone else.

I will leave you will two things.

1. Just Point

2. Stop and smell your flowers........

M&M's and Life

So I went to get my ticket for the Basketball game tomorrow and decided to stop by and get a smoothie. Jenna and Haley were there so Austin and I sat down and talked to them. we had some great topics that consist of:

• Possible mission trips
• Places we want to visit
• Anniversaries
• Favorite candies
• What Heaven is like

I really liked our Heaven conversation. we talked about how Heaven is going to be like a big candy store. It will rain skittles and chocolate milk (not at the same time of course). There will even be reeces peanut butter cup boats! It was an awesome conversation.

I also had a crazy idea to make a real cool smoothie with the stuff I like. So I asked Jenna to combine Acai juice, mango/passion fruit puree, raspberries, bananas, pineapple and strawberries. It was awesome! the seeds from the raspberries threw it off a little though. I call my creation RoRo's Delight. Every time I go in I am going to make a new one!

That's all I got for right now so later!
