she borrowed this from a friend, and im borrowing it from her, because it was good
To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental
To reach out to another is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk to failure.
But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow,
But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live.
Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.
The pessimist complains about the wind;
The optimist expects it to change;
And the realist adjusts the sails. |

hmmm ok so quick update... gmu is excellent, i heart the people there and classes arent going so bad, which therefore is good
ok so yesterday i got in a minor accident on 66 that quickly became a pain in the butt because ne of the cars was a company car so the company was making him do a ton of crap for ir... but we soon discovered that angelas water toy, hiblers phone and our own random personalities keep you extremely amused in the 1.5 hours youre waiting for it all to be over... :P |

so i just found my new favorite site:
http://tones.wolfram.com/generate/advanced.html?pitch
its because im a music geek and get to play around with things... although i really must give credit to Matt Hoppe for giving me the link, he likes it because of all the computer stuff involved... hes really smart and computery and nerdy :P haha i hope he doesnt see that... he descibes it as a "fusion of nerdy math, science and music" yay... Marco you might enjoy this, im not sure... haha its not the same as programing my ti-83 to say random things :) |

dear everyone
send me a eric randalls a letter.
snail mail, olde school. (yes, it must go through the mail)...
that has 1 post-it note inside of it.
with a phrase. or a drawing. or a note.
something.
eric's got this wonder wall, he's gonna put all of the them up.
so YOU better send one... and try not to stick with the monotonous dull yellow ones because if everyone has that one it will look boringggg.
put the location where you created it, and the date you created it, on the back.
eric randall
315 patrick st sw
vienna va 22180
now make all your friends do it. thanks.
you should probably put your name on the back too...
but i think its a really nifty idea, so im probably going to send a couple throughout the year :) |

hey people, i know its been a while since ive updated but i figure that theres a chance i wont be reachable until the 13th... im going to west virginia for my brothers commissioning and reception then after coming back on the 13th im going to the bela fleck/marc broussard concert (yay!!!) then madison band camp starts on the 14th and i really want to visit several times before i go to college (i leave august 25th!) so ill see you and talk to you when i do and if you dont know my number i should give it to you... :P
oh by the way, my mom gives crappy reasons for everything (like saying i cant hang out with people today so i can pack and stuff, seeing as how all that i need to do will take an hour at longest and im not even planning on starting till 2... grrrrr) so if i ever dont give a reason for why i cant do something, its most likely because i didnt get a good reason from her... |

| | er | ] |
why dont people just say what they mean and are thinking? why do people feel like they have to lie and hide things? why do people do it so blatantly?
on a similar note... i kinda figured out some issues that i have with psychology, we sit there and say "well this happens""why?""because they were abused as a child (or insert some other reason here)" but i want to know why people do it, like what theyre thinking and how they themselves rationalize it, they arent going to sit there and lie and think "im lying because i have been lied to repeatedly" theyre most likely going to sit there and lie thinking "well i wont get caught" or "its not a big lie" kind of thing... its hard to explain, but i want to know why they do it, not what happened that you can use to say from your point of view why they did it... |

that was a cool little thing (from lauren i should add for proper credit :P) and this is what i think about that topic:
everyone comes into your life for a reason, no matter if you hate them, love them or are indifferent, you will learn from them what you like and dont like and who you are... and everyone will learn something different from the same person, one person could learn that they really are a laid back and fun person while another person could learn that they hate it when people cant keep their mouth shut, but that would be learned from the same person... you can even learn from people you pass on the street or order food from at a resturant, but its not going to be a life changing thing, it could be as little as you could be a bit more sensitive to race or that you can be happy and open in front of someone you dont know and might never see again...
haha just realized that theres a song about that in wicked, for good:
ELPHABA
I'm limited:
Just look at me - I'm limited
And just look at you -
You can do all I couldn't do, Glinda
So now it's up to you
(spoken) For both of us
(sung) Now it's up to you:
GLINDA
I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:
Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:
Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you:
GLINDA
Because I knew you:
BOTH
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done you blame me for
GLINDA
But then, I guess we know
There's blame to share
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA ELPHABA
Like a comet pulled Like a ship blown
From orbit as it Off it's mooring
Passes a sun, like By a wind off the
A stream that meets Sea, like a seed
A boulder, half-way Dropped by a
Through the wood Bird in the wood
BOTH
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
I do believe I have been changed for the better?
GLINDA
And because I knew you:
ELPHABA
Because I knew you:
BOTH
Because I knew you:
I have been changed for good.

edit: this is the original thing
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime. |
