This weekend was pretty great. A lot was put into perspective. I may just be where I belong, although there is always a little bit of doubt. I didn't get everything I needed, and I'm not sure if I will. Woo.
I went tubing, is was really effing sweet. I'm so sore from skipping across the water after falling, but it was worth it.
It's not yet summer, and I'm already sick of the phrase "We have all summer." I think that's the exact opposite way you should live. I want to live everyday like it was the last day of summer. I'm going for 100 percent.
That's it for now. I just really can't wait for finals to end.
Bye.
I'll talk to you.

May the force be with you, always.
Thirty-three years ago, the world changed. George Lucas released Star Wars. I was born into a Star Wars family, my dad absolutely loved the series. The story, the characters, the fantasy. I grew up watching and reciting each line of the original trilogy. It has changed my life, and soon, I will have Star Wars tattoo in honor of my dad and brother and best friend. We all share a passion for the movies, and I love them all. Love you Dad, love you Nick, love you Allen, love you Star Wars.
Oh, and to those mutha buzza's that stole that shit off my bike, I've already sent out drones to destroy you. It's just a matter of time.
Sophomore Slump, over.

ODST
I want to be a scientist. I want to be a poet. I want to see everything. I want to do everything.

Physical Activity
Working out is definitely my most cathartic activity. Hit the weights, then cardio. Just listening to the iPod. Everything fades.
"Eye of the Tiger" came on in my shuffle after my workout session, so it seemed like I was heading to fight Mr. T... I wasn't.
The best part though is the walk home. It's usually cool outside, and I just listen to slow music. "Plans" by Death Cab is the album of choice. I just get to slowly come down from an adrenaline fueled high, and I never feel more peaceful.
Physical Activity, even Teddy Roosevelt loved it!

Cold and Rainy. Mostly Rainy.
Gahhhhh so much Rain! And a broken bicycle makes the commute to class extra long. I guess it's not that bad with the iPod and all, but whatevs.
First workshop day, but I didn't accomplish much. I don't have much footage to work with, but I guess the workshop is a step in the right direction.
Turned in the book review today, I'm confident I kicked its ass sideways.
Slow crawl to summer.

Believeland
I feel the need to talk a little about the Cavs being knocked out of the playoffs. It obviously got so much attention, and while I was really upset they lost, I will not bad mouth the team or its players. Especially LeBron James. Everyone has been giving him so much shit, and it seems typical of Cleveland fans to turn on their team, and it's something we need to change. He had a triple double that final game. That's impressive in and of itself. Let's be honest, James is Cleveland. And while people speculate on him leaving, I don't think he will. This is his hometown, and I'll think he'll go into the offseason thinking about next year's season, with the Cavs.
This weekend was pretty sweet, and I did a lot. I hung out with a bunch of different people and had a lot of fun. My softball team got crushed again, but they were a really good team. Srsly, they all were 24 year old, half man half giant, rec league softball machines. Good news about that is halfway through the season, they'll put us in a division with teams at our level. We'll be the king of the scrubs =)
I shot a bunch of B-roll footage of Parma and the schools in the district, and I also snipped a bunch of articles pertaining to my topic off the sun post. This project is really starting to come together, and I should have my first round of interviews this coming week, and I've been working on my voiceover track. I wish iMovie was windows compatible, but whatevs. This documentary is really starting to mean a lot to me, and I'm gonna work hard to make it worth the while. Tres excite'
Adam d00d, can't wait to have a kickass summer with old friends. More Applebee's time fo sho. That includes you, TimLeo, Polk, Gio, and any other friends in the Parma area. Srsly, let' make this summer kickass.
KAYBE, I hope you respond to meh lettorz soon, it's basically the best part of day when I get one =)
Well that's all for now, time for a little Universe studying in Astronomy 141.

Ghost
I just put a bunch of work into my book review of Ghost Wars, and for the first time in a while, I feel good about myself academically. I truly feel like I can actually excel in my field. I feel like the work I'm doing now will actually translate into a career as a historian. Weird. A career historian, writing my own books and shit. I guess I just needed to put the work in and actually accomplish and competent critique of someone else's work. History man, history.
Learned how to work with iMovie today, even though I don't own a Mac, it will definitely be helpful in my documentary. The program is really simple, and I plan on setting up some interviews real soon (Next week maybe Polk?).
Everything is coming together, and hopefully I'll have my associates degree in June.

What do you do when you love the idea of being away from home, but you hate where you live?

Night Clouds
Have you ever been outside at night really late and you look up at still see clouds? It's probably the coolest thing ever. Its so late, but its not dark. Its like the entire area is glowing in this awesome twilight. Big, puffy, white clouds across beautiful night sky.
My softball team is 1-1. Got our ass kicked today. It was rough, but I guess I still had fun.
This weekend was great. Nothing too showy, but it was alright. Had a few close friends drink and play some darts. Geef. Then Mother's Day.
Ohhhhhhh, yeah. Didn't get my tattoo (ultimate sadface, srsly). The party was cancelled because about 5 people dipped out of getting the tattoos. So the artist wouldn't come. I'm just gonna head up to Addicted then.

O Positive
I gave blood today, and let me tell you, I am so damn good at it. I fill that bag in like 3 minutes and I feel great the rest of the day, so maybe I should utilize this and donate more.
Well I turned 20 this past week, and it feels strange. Just to think that I've been on this planet for 2 decades and I don't have much to say for it. I want to make this world a better place to live in than when I got here. There is a whole world out there that is practically begging me to explore it.
I can't wait till this time next year, I'll be heading west.
I'm pretty sure I'm transferring now, and I need to set up an evaluation meeting at BW so I can get ALL my credits allocated correctly. Super sweet fun fact: I'll have my associates from OSU in June, and in 2 years, I'll have my B.A. from BW. Siiiick, two schools.
Well not much else to say other than I haven't shaved in a solid two weeks and I have a Paul Gasol beard-like thing going on now. Chicks dig it.
