"change is as good as a vacation"

-just heard that from the great dave matthews in an interview, you may carry on

i thought my horizons were broadened pretty well but i guess i've regressed some time ago because it took a normal trip down to my dad's for the Scranton's infamous st. patty's day parade for me to re-realize that the world has such a ridiculous amount to offer. i don't know what i've been thinking. i'm glad i'm back to normal now though.

i find myself taking deep breaths a lot more often lately

i was just thinking: that i believe there's no such thing as being flawed because everything is the way it is for a reason. i've never been able to put that into words before.

i can't believe the amount of snow we've gotten over the past week, what i couldn't believe more, though, was the fact that we haven't even gotten half the amount of a lot of other cities in CNY just 10 miles away. i think the days we've had off this week are just getting me warmed up for the senioritis i'm in store for come spring time.




i should be skiing

snow is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen on this blip of our's.


it reminds me of a clean slate and finding a new path to follow

my view of life, without any bullshit:

>we are inconspicuous in the spectrum of the universe, and the rest of the planet for that matter unless fame is your ultimate goal in life
>so the only important things in life are the interactions between you and another person on a day-to-day basis
>there's too much beauty in life to pass up the chance to do some living
>don't pass up opportunities for a new experience
>find comfort in either a niche or individuality
>love, happiness, and serenity

i think it would be a good idea to go out to lake tahoe for some west coast skiing after college, or maybe during for a road trip



i'll get to the philosophies on life in the next ones
