Quotes from a wise old wizard.

I sit here, sipping my apple cider and nursing the fingernail that got ripped because I opened the bottle the wrong way. Oh well, it is ok the cider is worth the pain. Pain for pleasure right? Well I just watched the girl who probobly has some part of my heart(how the heck should I know, heavens knows that I don't want to her to have any of it.) graduate; it was a much livelier ceremony that the one that I participated in two days ago. She looked absolutly radiant and the idea that I need to be alone resinated all night. I really like her family and I still pray for her little brother, He's a cool kid.

There was a great man, who lived a few years ago who once said, "Humans have a knack for choosing precisely the things that are worst for them." This I guess has some part to play in the paths that I have chosen. I dont want exactly what I need and I definatly don't need exactly what I want. I like a girl who wants nothing to do with me, and I am going on dates with a girl who probobly could do much better. I want to go to college to do something that I love and then go to the peace corps, and then to get a doctorate/masters. Foregoing being a father(what I really want) for a long time. I don't know whats best for me, or even what would be the easiest thing for me to do, but I am trying.

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live." Is another one of the great sayings, I fall prey to this one all the time; just like young harry did in front of the mirror. I spend all of this time deciding what I want to do, imagining myself all over the world; helping people, ruling people, fighting people, and being amazing. I don't know what I will do, and chances are I will end up in some random job that doesn't make the difference that I want to. It is stupid of me to assume that if I am a teacher that I wont enjoy life. I can't spend time imagining myself as an amazing person, when I could just as easily be an amazing Father, and Teacher or whatever I am. It really doesnt do to dwell on dreams and forget to live the life that could be even better.

"To the well organized mind death is but the next great adventure." I guess that is the last of the quotes that I have, at least that relates to my life. Death isn't really the end, we all know that, but High school also isn't the end of life. This is sometimes hard to remember when faced with a life of paying bills, taxes and raising kids. Life is never ending, and death is just one of the many pathes that you go down durring your life. I can't wait to see where my life takes me, I hope that it is somewhere amazing. Who knows? well certainly not me. It is late now and I am tired. Goodnight internet/world.
