one nice thing about the past is that we don't have to relive it.

I know I am guilty of spending a lot of time in nostalgia, but as I was cleaning my Hoarders room this weekend, I opened up an old journal that I didn't even remember writing in.

I read some of my horrifying history from a very crazy year of my life, and thanked God that it is so far away now, and that I learned so much from it, and that I never have to do that messed up crap over again. Even though I thought it was awesome at the time.

I just gotta figure out what the heck I am doing now.
There are some things I know.

Only Jesus is cool. 
I love spicy food. 
No one person is going to make you happy, because other people are just as broken as you. Drink more water, and less of everything else. 
There is a time for video games, and there is a time for socializing. 
Don't eat the sushi if a rich guy is paying for it, and you don't see a girlfriend for him anywhere at the table. 
If you can possibly bring a pair of tennis shoes, do.
and, if you stay home and do homework instead of going out with your friends, you will save STRESS and MONEY.

These are my sureties. And I know that new ones will develop, over the next 100 years.
