Ladies and Gentleman, meet Chris...

I'm doing this MOSTLY because it will make Patches laugh...but moreover because it's true...everyone....I'm better :-)

Now, please don't take this post as saying "last night I cured all of my mental problems". On the contrary. I've spent the past couple months bouncing thoughts off one of my closest friends (thanks, btw), and reevaluating who I am, what I want, and why I care what other people think. All in all, after taking on everything in my head, and decided who I was...the rest was academic.

All I had to do was be happy...and I am :-) Everything I do makes me happy now, instead of depressed, and that, my friends, is what life is all about. I am thrilled to say that I am myself again, and that I am no longer confused about life and it's many twists and turns. Thank you everyone who ever helped and continues to be my good friend. I couldn't have done it without you...

Hi, my name is Chris. nice to meet you :-D

End of the Term???

Holy CRAP where did the term go?? It's been a hell of a ride....let's recap starting at the last post!

1. I've made some significant changes to how I view life and myself. They're private and I probably won't make them public for a while (some of you know) but for those of you I don't wish to talk to about it, just be assured it's a good thing :-)

2. I was sick for quite litereally 2 week of the term. Falling behind is bad enough, but try falling behind in 4 classes and an MQP! It's not pretty. I'm still on track for finishing this up well, so we'll see what's up...

3. I was clipped by a car on Highland Street (only a few of you knew that :-P) I'm perfectly fine, but it was like, an hour of stupid shit and talking to police, etc. No fun! It made me open work late :-(

4. Mike and I were greeted with the absolutely AMAZING committee we call publicity. Not only did we gain the most members of other committees, our members are byfar some of the most enthusiastic people I've seen in SocComm! I'm excited for the organization's future :-)

5. There is no five, keep reading...

6. I've made new friends, some of them already closer than I usually get so quickly. I thing I'm opening up! SURPRISE! haha

I guess that's good for now. Recaps are good! I'll keep the blog up more now though :-)

Peace!
Chris

A new life!

So, my mom got married this weekend, and it was awesome (open bar!). But the funniest part was the Justice of the Peace. So, we had rehearsed Friday night in order to get a couple kinks out, nothing big. So the next day, Betty and Paul (Betty was the Justice of the Peace, Paul was her husband) were intense! "This is wrong, that's not right, switch sides, say this, do that." We laughed through part of the ceremony cause at some points it was ridiculous! Oooo memories!

Also, word of advise...don't send emails from your iPhone while driving. SO dangerous!! ;-)

Peace out yo!
Chris

PS - If you left a comment on the blog and deleted it (someone did...) could you email it to me? I'm curious now :-P

Up, Down, Touch the Ground...

Perspective...I've never had it. I, as many other people, always see things the way they see them, and have no outside insight. For a long time, I used to wonder if I was even MEANT to be ok...I mean, come on when you work at something for so long, it's hard to think that you're supposed to be ok "soon" ever single day.

Recently I took a plunge and tried a new method, and while working it has also opened my eyes to some of the things that I do, say and otherwise to alienate those I care about. It has also opened my eyes to the reactions of friends, however close or far, which helps me to hone the problems into good relationships.

So I guess what I'm saying is that recently I've had great days and shitty days, and it's time to come to Earth here (Abydos would work too...nerds will get it). At the same time, I also need to come clean with all of my friends to really see where I stand. I only have 4 or 5 friends I really trust without question, and it needs to change...wish me luck.

"A friend is one to whom one may pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keep what is worth keeping and with a breath of kindness blow the rest away."

Here it comes!

Ladies and gentlemen, the moment(s) you've all been waiting for. It's my last year in college!! Now now, don't get worried. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true! And although I won't be all that financially sound for a while, I'll totally be done :-)

Everything I've done for myself these past years has been for this. I feel very good about this, and I definitely feel like this year is going to be ok (Africa still might be rough, but we'll see...)

kbai
