Long Overdue and Going Nowhere in Particular



No, the title of this blog has nothing to do with my life-plan (I refuse to believe that life is something that can be analyzed and planned accordingly, it's just not possible.)

I sat down today and realized that I haven't blogged in a while. I decided to just start writing and see where the words would take me.

So here I am in 2010, I can honestly say that, life is good.

Anyone who knows me understands that I use this phrase often, maybe too often, but it really helps me to put things in perspective. I really am lucky to have the things I have in life, good-health, family, and friends are the things that I am thankful for and value the most. Despite all of this, I really can't believe how fast life gets.

The minutes seem like seconds and the hours move like minutes
.

If you're my friends reading this, which most of you are, I really do value the time we spend together because to be quite honest and up-front, we really don't have much of it left together. I'm not saying we won't be able to spend time in the future, because I'm positive that we will, but life is only going to get even crazier and hectic. All of us have a bright future ahead. Grad-school, teaching and law-enforcement jobs, med-school...these are only a few of the opportunities that await us. And still others have already made their start. The dinners, the lazy afternoons, trips to the city, the parties, the gaming sessions...it's all time that I wouldn't spend any other way.

My friends are: getting older, getting married, promoted, and are graduating. Some are starting families of their own.

My friends are: moving away...going home to get back on their feet...awaiting orders...living the dream...going back to school...studying abroad


My friends are
: going to be nurses, police officers, business gurus & financial czars, doctors, lieutenants, speech therapists, psychologists, lawyers, permanent students, writers, teachers, only to name a few.

My friends are: getting older.

My friends are
: literally, out to save the world.

I can honestly say that I'm proud of each and everyone of you guys (gender-neutral of course).

Well, I'll keep this one short and leave you with a quote from one of my favorite movies:

"Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. "
