It is less than a month until I return to the U.S. I am looking into the possibility of making a couple of stops on the way back home. Having the opportunity to see my one and only pledge bro as well as my one and only blood brother must be taken advantage of. Letting it pass me by will leave me feeling as if I’m missing out on an opportunity that may never come my way again. I have learned much in these many weeks that have passed by quickly. How shall I start?... 

Those who know me well will know of my liking to Limp Bizkit (love them or hate them you can’t deny that the band has some major balls to still be doing what they are doing) Which leads me to quote Re-Arranged:

Seems like a lot of what is done is all about the externals; about what we are seen as, about what we do, about looking like we are doing the right thing. This place fails to see the heart of anything; being limited to the five senses. You slip and fall to see yourself losing the crown that was once yours. Humbled and embarrassed. After you get back up and dust yourself off you will surely find yourself making sure that each next step is firmly taken. But yet there will still be that outside pressure to knock you off balance. That pressure to make you look bad. Without a strong heart and head, you’ll find yourself back down on the ground trying to rise before the final count. I realize that you can’t just rely on the appearance of things. ‘do not judge a book by its cover’ not just in terms of  negative judgment but also in terms of positive judgment. It is just as harmful to think of someone or something as too highly or holy as when thinking the worst of someone on a first impression. Thank God for discernment.

Though I am enjoying the many new people that I meet every week, I greatly look forward to the new season that will soon start 1 month from now. And I know that I need to be present in the moments- I’m not saying that I’m not. I suppose I have been dreaming more lately; dreaming about living and working in America’s Finest City; dreaming about the hanging out with the bros, dreaming about the cool nights, and mostly dreaming about my girl.

Time will pass. 

But I can’t pass up that which I can do today. 

Keep on strong. 

Keep ya head up. 

There’s a time for everything. 

Much love and respect.
