The Big Yellow One is the Title

Today is an awesome & memorable day. It is the final day of real school and it is on the brink of a 4 day weekend and then a 3 month one. The only thing that could make this day better would be 6 straight hours of pure magic enjoyment... oh wait that's today too. Wow life really rocks! Anyway time to get to the meat and potatoes of the post.

I think that life is far too predictable. I know the basics of what I'll be doing for the next 4 years and quite a bit of what I'll be doing for the next 50 or so years after that. It's almost as though our lives have been outlined by some unseen force. You can even predict how long you will live... sometimes I wish something spontaneous would happen such as tons of aliens destroying the earth for an intergalactic highway or something like that. I'm sure that would get rid of the frumpish future. (I never get a chance to use that word) Sometimes it's comforting to know your future is secure and that you will succeed but what is that really worth if its cost is repetition and tedium?

Guardian Angels Rock

Driving home I was thinking about how I'm not the best driver out there but somehow I've managed to keep a clean driving record with no screw ups. I half jokingly thanked my guardian angel for this and then realized that he's helped me out throughout my life without even realizing it. After this I thought about seeing him in heaven and how speechlessly thankful I'd be to him for helping me get as far as I've gotten in life. So I thought I'd write him a prayer for when I see him so I don't just sit there speechlessly dumbfounded as I often find myself in everydaylife.

Forever watching from afar

You guide me as I drive my car

Ceaselessly standing over me

You fill my life with unending glee

Unbeknownst as I live my life

Freeing it of Satan’s strife

I thank you for all you’ve ever done

To make my life a holy one

And looking back on the paths we chose

I realize that pleasure comes and goes

But happiness in Christ is all I’ll ever need

And I’m glad you’ve helped me plant that seed

Amen

Just for more fun

Changeing the subject

This next month is going to rock. I don't think I've ever had as much going on in a month than I have going on this month. Mill, Alex, and I are going to the magic prerelease next weekend in Chicago, my birthday is the weekend after that, graduation is the next weekend, and scattered throughout the next few weeks after that are tons of graduation parties to attend. Not to mention all of the Antioch stuff I'll be doing plus the week of school devoted to seniors. Once this hectic month is over I'll have still have tons of chaos to attend to such as a full time job and all of the preparations for going off to Purdue. I have a feeling this is going to be one of the best eras of my life.

Hey Look! More Stuff About Change

I think I've changed this past month more than I have the past 2 years combined. I would spend most of my time playing games to keep myself entertained. I now realize how time I've wasted with this junk. All they do is make their user even more socially and intellectually inept than they already are. Getting involved with Antioch was the best decision I've ever made. I feel as though I know who I am now more than I ever have before. My life seems to have meaning to it and I'm in a much better mood in general. I used to also have a problem with cussing. I would accidentally let them slip at the wrong times during tennis or at home and I would be forced to face the consequences. This problem is almost completely taken care of now thanks to getting involved with the church. My values are much better and my parents seem much happier with me. I feel as though my faith will help me get through the toughest challenges I receive from life in the future.
