Ready for a Change

So a while ago, I made a decision to make a lot of drastic changes in my life. I committed myself to improvement: dieting, eating right, exercising, repressing my temper, changing my speech patterns a.k.a. not swearing so much, and restoring my faith in religion and people (at least my faith in religion is still there, people not so much). Now, I find myself slowly but surely sliding back into old habits. Well, I have an incredible chance to accomplish everything I've always dreamed about, and I only have 10-14 months to prepare. So, as of today, April 5, 2010, I am renewing my vow of self-improvement, as everything I devoted myself to will all but ensure my success in life. Please, keep me in your prayers as I will keep you in mine, and thanks to all of my friends for one hell of a final weekend of being a child. Now, it's time to be a man... hope I don't screw it up.

Wow

It's been a while since I wrote in this. Figured what the hell, why not? I've got some time to kill and am all caught up on homework (for the second consecutive week, must be a record!). A lot has happened over the last month and a half or so. I've re-established a lot of old relationships, and can't remember ever being happier than I am right now. Life is truly perfect, or about as perfect as it can be. The one smudge... companionship. I miss having people in my life that knew me totally inside and out. But, hey, the Lord provides all things in time, so I'm definitely not worried about it. Geez, even as I write that last sentence, I realize how differently I think about things, how accepting and patient I've become. A year ago, if I wanted something, I couldn't wait for it. Now, I'm able to simply sit and wait patiently for the Lord to give me what I need and then the things that I want. I'm so thankful that I've re-established my relationship with the church, and more importantly, God himself. To that end, I owe a big thanks to Tony Covert. If it hadn't been for you, buddy, I never would've gone to Praxxis and had all this great stuff start happening. I owe you, man. Well, that's enough for tonight. Can't wait for this weekend, hope it's as kickass as the last one. Oh, and 19 days til I turn 21! Watch out Mill Avenue!
