This was the shirt I was talking about.

And for our upcoming project...

So I've come to a few realizations with help of some friends in the past fews days, some tragic and some hopeful.

The first is a big one, I think that unless you are super talented at something, like music or a sport, you have two options:

1. Work ridiculously hard and devote your entire life to working and becoming successful, all the while being almost miserable doing so.

-OR-

2. Float through life living day to day, hoping that the pieces will eventually fall together with a little perseverance and some luck, but also being happy with life, if you can block out the oh so real possibility of failure.

The second option is basically hoping to win the lotto in the long run.

The second realization is: On the grander scale of things, speaking as in the universe, everyday life such as work, is utterly meaningless. We move day to day not thinking about how utterly insignificant our existence is.

Alas in this truth there is some hope, that since we are so small on the scale of the universe, we should find the things that make us the happiest and cherish them. Just find the things that fill us with joy. Find your "Banana Ice Cream." Affect the lives of others, and goddammit just be happy to be alive. Don't get caught up in the stupid day to day grind. We worry so much about making money and being a part of the system that we forget it's the people and the experiences we have in our life that matter. Not how big our house is, and not how many cars we have.

I had an awesome bike ride tonight, went real far. I'm happy right now, and I think I've really found a lot of people I like to be around. Bye for now

Vacation

I'm about to fall asleep on the last night in North Carolina.

I like to think of Ohio as a fifty-one week vacation away from Ocean Isle.

Goodnight.

Barefoot

Being barefoot isn't a style choice, it's a way of life. It's the way you live your life.

I like it down here, and judging by my experience at BAREFOOT Landing today, I feel like I fit in quite well. I'd just have to get used to the climate.

I'm straight up worried about school and life. I feel like if I just had an internship or something, I'd be more comfortable, but I don't.

This trip is winding down, which is good in one aspect because I am chafed to shit. I miss my girlfriend. (Gay) no I actually do.

Beach

The beach is the best when it's dark. Just the moonlight and the pier lights.

Smoked my last imitation 12 ring cuban tonight...

Almost classy.

WHAMBAM

I really wish I could be sharing this vacation with somebody. My family is great and all, but I've never brought a girl on a vacation, and I kinda want to.

I played some awesome golf today! And the food here is so damn good all the time.

OYSTERS.

UV

I got me some sun tan today. Great stuff

As cheesy as this sounds, I can't wait to have a kid. I see my 2 yr old cousin running around and I just wanna take him. Haha.

When I get home, I'm thinking about planning a Tour de Parma of sorts. I've joked about it with my brother, but I think it would be a pretty intense ride. Take Broadview to Sprague, then to 130th, then to Brookpark, back up Broadview. That would be siiiick. I just wanna know how many miles, and it would be pretty cool to get a group of people to do it. Make the news as a goofy local story or something.

Welp, seeya later.

Day 1/BEACH

Soooo finally made it to Ocean Isle, and this place is always so beautiful! Our house we rented is huge, and everything is just how we planned it.

I love the ocean, and as weird as it sounds, I love how small it makes me feel. It kinda just washes away any problems I have with it's crushing waves. It's really a testament to the whole "life goes on" kinda thing. Each day, the tide comes in and the tide goes out, and no matter how different things are, so things will always be the same.

I'm beat. This sun saps every ounce of energy I have.

Boom outta here.

Guaranteed Poggi

Vacation style. I'm staying overnight in Greensboro. Tomorrow, it's allllll Ocean Isle baby. I'm gonna try and document my vacation each night. Get the events down while they're fresh. Alright, time for some much needed rest.

This post will be the most epic of all epic posts.

First of all, LeBron James is a traitor to his hometown, that has sullied his values of "loyalty and family." This town, myself included, looked up to him as a hero, a real hometown idol, then on Thursday we all get a swift kick in the balls on national television. So I say, LeBron, I respect you no longer,and I hope you tear your ACL.

I'm hurt.

Last weekend I ended up heading to Peabody's after rushing around CSU trying to find their admissions office for my geef. We made it just in time, then bummed around until about 8 and went into Peabody's to see Traphouse Rave. One of Tia's friends is pretty close with the band so that's why we went. Before THR, there was a rap duo named Smokescreen that was pretty sweet, look em up. Now while I didn't like THR's music, they had awesome stage presence and a great stage show. Seriously, it was fun. The only thing I didn't like was the smell, and the lead singer was wearing a Ke$ha shirt -_-.

The fourth went really well, and Tia did pretty well for meeting my ENTIRE family for the first time. My seven year old cousin has a crush on her. We blew shit up at the end of the night and it was awesome. There truly is nothing like lighting shit on fire with your family

My relationship is smoothing itself out now, and that's good because with our vacations, starting Thursday, I won't see her for at 2 weeks. That is kinda gonna suck...

Parma may have change on the way with Dr. Jeffrey Graham. He's made some pretty bold statements, but what really gets my attention is his statements about Parma in general. He acknowledges that Parma is in some trouble, but he also realizes that we are a proud community. Hopefully he'll be able to work with us to pull us up out of this hole we're in.

I heart my parents, because 20 years ago, they made a promise to give me a better life than what they had, and I believe they've delivered. They made that promise when my mom was 19, and my dad was 20. Epic. I can't wait to finish school, and finally be done with money.

I'm officially a student at BW, and I have a twelve grand scholarship, w0000t w0000. I'm super excited to be closer to home, and to finish up my undergrad shenanigans.

Well I guess that's it for now, quick shout out, Suzy, keep your chin up girl.

Boom, outta here.
