When we were younger we talked about what we would be when we grew up.
Have you looked back to your childhood to think about the things you said you wanted to be. Is it anywhere close to the person you've become? How's your dreams changed? I know a lot of people who wish they were in someone else's shoes; had the life that someone else lives. How many people can say that they are actually happy with EVERYTHING going on in their life? How many people can say that they are happy with what they have become? Maybe it's just me...but has society forgot to be thankful for what they have in their lives? I guess I never got the memo about fitting into what society and people think you should be.
I'm leaving with Chelsea Grin for the Burgers & Bowling tour. I won't be home for awhile due to this tour. :) It's going to be nice to be away from reality for a bit.
There is also a Man Challenge today. 50 Chicken Nuggets for 10$ What the fuck is up!
Come and hang out with us. Tip your merch boy, this is our job!
PoonStock Fest as pretty much consisted of non-stop partying, cleaning up the house, pepsi and non stop soda! Pizza, scavenging for the food Dan doesn't have in his house. Making random creations out of the little food we do find. Ke$ha always on the radio. Late night Beto runs. Non stop band practice, even at 3 A.M. in the morning. Kicking it with Cait Hate and Michelle. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, and screaming at Left 4 Dead.
Best week of 2010 so far. I'm going to eat out of the biggest cereal bowl ever. Day 4: Corbin is way past gone with no pants on screaming. Highlight of the night, Corbin walking around butt naked with a leaf covering his junk saying he is from the bible. I'll update later. Day 7 was a success and Chantel's halfway to 21 birthday party and it was massive! Probably the biggest party we've had yet and we are all really starting to get drained.
We all know someone in our lives that talk about doing something in their life. Whether it be backpacking in Europe, spending Valentines in Paris, going to ask out so and so, start their own business or do the things they love in life. This person could be you. It's talked about so much, but none of it ever gets done. If there is anything you would love to do in your life. Do it! Live on the edge for awhile. We only live once. I'd rather be old and talking about the experiences I had, than talking about the things I should have done.
Stop talking about it, and just do it

How many people do you have in your life that will do anything for you? Probably a few right? But do you have a friend who will buy you and your boys a pizza when she is Virginia. All she says is "I want to get it because I knew if I was back home I would be with you guys enjoying this pizza." 26 Inch pizza from Big Daddy's Pizza with a liter of Pepsi= $30.65. Tipping the pizza man= $5.00. Eating a pizza that was purchased from Virginia while watching Black Snake Moan with your boys= PRICELESS.
It's nights like these we will always remember.
Thank you Nikki Fowler, you're one of the best friends any of us could ask for.
We all know the memorable story of The Little Engine Who Could it brings us all back to being a little kid and saying "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can." How come it's these colored pannels that make it so hard for me to focus on the road while driving. How come these colored pannels have my face pressed up against the glass like a child looking into a candy store. I don't know what keeps me close to them more. The fact that every boxcar has a story behind it, or the fact that it has seen more of this country than I have. The motion of them is a powerful thing.
There's nothing more romantic.
Life is like a game of Monopoly. We get to choose who we be and who goes first. We go around searching for the things we want, and the things to avoid. We have the option of buying property and putting houses on it. We all fear about going to Jail, and losing our property. We try to trade values of ours to get the things we really want. We get rewards and we sometimes have to take chances. We have to pay bills and expenses of the city. We all go for one thing and that's "Free Parking." In the end...we all want to win. There's something we have to face and accept. The things we can't control; such as the roll of the dice. You can try your best to alter your shake, or give it a kiss for good luck. But in the end, it's fate. You can't blame others for the mistakes or what has happened in the past. All you can do is focus on yourself; on your game plan.
If you don't win or have the most property, you have to have a good outlook on it all. See the good things you did, out weigh the negative with positive. You need to find something in this game of life to live for. Even if it's getting all of the Railroads, or avoiding jail. Always have good sportsmanship.
What I'm trying to relate is that if we have nothing to live for. Than why bother living? If we don't have a good attitude towards life, we are just going to keep digger ourselves deeper. We need to focus on ourselves and find out what we want. We aren't playing for anyone else. We're not trying to win for anybody but ourselves.
From the first roll, to the last. We are in this for ourselves.
Our values might be taken away, possibly lose a turn, owe money to someone and even sit in Jail for awhile. But we need to accept the things we can't control.
We can't live in the past. We must live in the present, and do everything we can to alter the future.
Every piece follows a set of rules. Every piece has limited moves it can make. Every piece has a job to protect their King. There is one piece who has less rules and more limits. A piece that can't move like a Knight, but moves how she pleases. A piece that is feared among the opposing player. She is quitely tucked back next to her King. Test her will, she will take you out.
There's the one in my life who will always stand to my right.
She will always protect me and herself. She will do whatever she needs to keep me out of check.
When it comes down to it. I'm not scared of losing. She's the one who has me in check-mate.
