"And I tell her every day..."

Bruno Mars, you are a genius! To write songs that are so great, and to just be able to shrug and have the talent just ooze out is pretty awesome!

Things with Carrie are going great. I can't believe that someone makes me as happy as she makes me on a daily basis. It's like I almost have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming with eyes wide open some times. But, my eyes stay closed when she's falling asleep in my arms, but open just to steal a glance at her as she is falling asleep. I can't imagine how the last few weeks would be if I hadn't started talking to and eventually dating her. She is really amazing, and I love to tell her every day just how amazing she is. To say that I enjoy every second with her is a major understatement.

B.o.B.

One of the few rappers I will listen to is B.oB. Now, most people know him from his collaborations, but the songs he has where he is by himself aren't too bad!

Now, here comes the fun part. The last few weeks have been pretty awesome for me. Add in the fact that South Carolina is now the SEC East champ in football and....wait, we won the SEC EAST?! Oh ya, we did do that!

But, the best part of the last few weeks is what happened November 14th. But, I'll keep you guys wondering for a bit!

Writing piece on Wednesday, so please leave a word and I'll work a paragraph out of it

Thanks!

New Found Glory

Know those days when you find a band you used to love, but forgot all about? And then, you stumble on them when listening to your iPod on shuffle? Well, count the guys of New Found Glory in that category for me this week/weekend. I've enjoyed listening to some of their older stuff that I haven't heard (thanks YouTube!)

So, I decided to start sharing writing that I come up with during the week. My "thing" is to take a word I've used, and try to create some short, three or four sentence writing piece designed around that word or thought. Today, I'm writing on the word "Serenity", which is ironically one of my favorite movies.

"They sat alone on the porch, taking in the autumn air. The pure serenity of the moment left him breathless. He sat and tried to swallow air, something to slow his heart down as the world slowed around him. Feeling her sitting next to him, warming his very soul, was something that he had wanted for a while. Now, being in the moment, he was as scared as a child who had done something wrong. Yet, seeing how beautiful she looked in that moment, everything began to feel right in the world around him"

So, give me thoughts people! I'm trying to flex my writing muscle so I can get my head right. That, and it helps with papers!

Post-Post-Post.....POST

Ok, I haven't really even touched this site in a while. But, I'm a working, starving, college kid!

Update on some things for all of my lovely readers!

• Life is CRAZY!! I can't believe how much stuff I have to do, yet have so long to do it. I keep procrastinating with so many things I'm starting to doubt myself. But hey, no better time than the present to get work done....right?
• Work, work, work. I feel like I'm actually not dreading work as much since I only work three nights a week
• I'm really excited for what the future holds for me people. I feel like I got almost a steroid shot from going through all of the meetings and conferences this semester. Almost a re-purposing of everything

So, what's next? Well, I'm thinking that maybe I should get back into writing. Gives me a chance to flex my literary muscle. That and maybe start getting into writing more of a story I started a few years back. The main idea is following the story of a man stuck in a apocalyptic situation. The worst part? He's faced with having to make choices of who lives or dies in his party of people. Drawing inspiration from Stephen King, Mass Effect (yes, video game), and also the movie 2012 to get ideas. No zombies or vampires here, just cataclysmic natural events. Here's a piece

"...he sat there, pondering his life. The pressure of everything was starting to break his will, starting to make him wonder what he should do. 'So easy, so easy' he muttered to himself, rocking back and forth, 'nobody will miss one less person in this crazy shit....one person, who will miss one person?'"

Strong? Better believe it! But, I feel like this will be awesome if I can harness my ideas and just go for it. Lets see what happens
