Graffiti the World, I Saw the Writing on the Wall....
So it's been a rather long time since my last blog post. To be honest, I kind of forgot about this blog. Not forgot in the sense of I forgot its existence, but with the furry of things happening around me, actually updating it is what I tend to forget about often times.
So my life? It's been interesting at best. Since my last entry, I've pretty much all but finished my Fall semester of my Senior year at Georgia Southern. I've pretty much made it through my last year as a marcher in the Southern Pride Marching Band, and I have to say that I've definitely improved in my marching abilities. To think I almost didn't march this year is an amazing thought, considering had I not, I would've missed out on so many opportunities to spend time with people I've grown to love and appreciate.
It hasn't gone down without turmoil at points though. Until recently I hit a really hard patch with a friend of mine, where I seriously had begun to contemplate the notion that we wouldn't be friends after I graduated, much less at the end of this semester. Things were just really bad, really rough. We'd been having friendship issues for the longest time (some of which probably are well-documented on this blog entry here) and I just felt like every time I got their "word" on the fact that change would happen, it never did. That's occupied the majority of my thoughts all semester, and it all culminated two weeks ago where we talked for about 3 hours. I dunno what's going to happen from here, but I can at least hold solace that I've done all I can and I'm doing my best to fix an change what is absolutely needed and necessary. And I'm committed to the friendship wholeheartedly now, where as before I was seriously beginning to have doubts and wonder what was going to be down the road, and if it was even worth carrying on with....
During that whole process, and especially in the last three weeks, it's had me looking at everything else around me, and things I've sacrificed. SO many friendships were sacrificed, so many other opportunities lost, that it slowly became clear to me that sometimes.... you just have to evaluate everything. The last two weeks have been pretty awesome, mostly just because everything seems to be in place.
I went to Wofford College on Saturday with the pep band from Southern Pride to support the GSU Eagles. The trip itself was amazing. Minus the having to be up at 4am to make a 6:30am call time for loading the buses, the trip itself was quite remarkable, and not just because of the football.
I've never been much of a football person. I was as a kid, but grew out of it once I discovered my mom would never let me play it. Plus, a majority of my favorite players were drafted or retired from the teams I liked, so there was really no point in watching. I got into watching college football once I moved to GA, and UGA was all the scream around me, so that's what I wore half the time. I was then converted into a Florida fan (which I still am to this day) and it started taking off more when I came to GSU. But it wasn't until last Saturday when it really hit a high for me.
I don't think I've ever had as much fun at a GSU game as I had on Saturday. I was screaming, into the game. I literally found myself standing almost the entire game. Forget about pictures, forget about talking to people, I literally was honed into watching the Eagles beat the Terriers with a final score of 31-10 and take the Southern Conference title. I've never screamed and jumped and yelled so much in my entire life. (and I get to do it all over again this coming Saturday against the Alabama Crimson Tide!)
Another cool aspect was just the people I was with. I spent half the bus ride texting someone I see all the time and just talking, and discovering a great new friendship there. It was pretty awesome. Out of everything on that day, that's probably the one thing that was pretty cool to me. That, and the amount of sleep I actually got on the bus ride home, plus the police escort we picked up on Highway 25 heading back to Statesboro. : )
Things have been just been pretty awesome as of late. I don't think I could ask for a better time to help bring my spirits back up to a good place. It helps when you have people around you that appreciate you and that you appreciate as well. It makes things in life much more easier to understand. And, on top of everything else, it makes life just that much more enjoyable and appreciative. : D
OK, so I think I've typed enough for suffice this entry.
Until next time....
Peace to your face. : )
