the past two years of my life have the been the best time in my life; discovering passions, moving through relationships with people, having an honest relationship with my parents finally, traveling continuously, and living on my own for the first time with my close friends. i've been in a state of ecstasy, that has rarely been compromised, constantly. i think it's because for the first time in my life, about two years ago, i fell into different ideas about why i live and what i consider important, and so from there my entire behavior changed, and it was very difficult getting used to a new mode of intuitive response to situations, and truthfully i had problem with disliking myself, even though i was enjoying everyone i was meeting and all the situations i was present in. but eventually my ability to finally move fluid and control myself and really love myself, came again! whooo! it's also really interesting getting more involved into certain subjects and activities and your friends do as well (except with their own subjects), your passions slightly start to separate you from your friends. well, yeah so i'm dedicating this to how cool and weird and etc life is.
also the past couple years has truly solidified my love for language, and for now that language is german. and overall the german culture interests me greatly. whoever you are reading this, take note if you've ever wanted to go to europe - germany rules. check out the northern and/or western end. such as areas like koeln, bremen, and hamburg. bremen is my home away from home
travis i miss you man, i'm incredibly happy things have gone the way they have for you. beth, i hope to actually get to meet you on a more personal level than just the name exchange and quick chitchat in the future. yeah, even if we never saw each other again travis, which i don't believe that to be the case, i will remember our friendship as long as my mind keeps up until i die.
hah, ya. After I got off the phone with you when I was at beth's, I realized the same thing. That I miss ya and hanging out and all that blah big time. No joke, it hit hard.
But by the way, I'm the reason all those people commented on your last post with stupid punctuations. I made a post telling everyone who read it to comment some single letter or something on your blah so that you'd be perplexed when you checked out nast again finally.
did you freaking go to europe again?? take me with you next time. haha i met two random guys on the street from madagascar and ended up going to dinner with them and talking to them in french for like an hour.
Oh beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea.
Oh beautiful, for pilgrims' feet
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw;
Confirm thy soul in self control, thy liberty in law!
Oh beautiful, for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America! May God thy gold refine,
'Til all success be nobleness, and ev'ry gain divine!
Oh beautiful, for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America! God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea!
