I’ve had a fairly awesome week so far. My grades officially came in and I passed all my classes so I have “officially” graduated from the university of Georgia. Pretty excited about that. My mom has been trying to get me a car as a graduation present recently. She felt bad when she discovered that I lived off campus and literally walked or skated everywhere including to and from work so she’s been blowing up my phone this past week waking me up at various times in the wee morning to give me the updates. Bless her heart. She called me again a couple of hours ago to inform me that a guy she knows that deals with cars has purchased an all black 2009 Camry Le on her behalf and that I should be able to get it sometime next week after she gets the tags for it. yea… I was tinkering on the branch of barely awake/asleep since i had just finished working out with my pledge bros at the gym and was hella tired, but upon hearing the term car usher forth from her mouth to the receiver which graciously danced with my eardrums I was wide awake. And happy. Extremely happy. If I wasn’t so groggy from abruptly being woken up I might have performed in the archaic ritual of jumping for joy or some other physical expression of bliss. Maybe a tiger woods fist pump. Yea I should’ve done one of those. And to top off the seemingly clusterfuck of great news rushing my way I’ve started to dance and do Insanity again and even convinced my roommates aka one of my pledge bros 80 mile to go with me. Even better is the eventual arrival of all my chapters efforts for the past 11 years culminated into a weekend and christened lambda phi epsilon convention held this year in Houston. With its arrival and our possibility of getting status looking very good this semester im very certain the nights shall be stained in fervent excitement and my uga bros as well as the rest of them,including myself of course, shall engage in tumultuous debauchery and shenanigans which shall indeed be over 9000. No need for Vegeta to check his scouter for these power level readings. the best part about all of this?? It’s only a fucking Wednesday! Only God in heaven knows what could possibly happen from this moment till Sunday. I could very well walk down the street and get hit by a car or not. Knock on wood. Shit I might even get my dick sucked since this week has so far been going swimmingly. Who the fuck knows?? All I do know is I’m pretty fucking blessed and I thank God for raining the proverbial blessings and glory upon my head and family. My family has worked hard and we deserve all the good and health that has been coming to us. I know it will continue and I’m glad someone is there that got out back
We often find ourselves to be our own worst critics… never allowing our greatest traits to shine forth but hiding in a lessened version of who we actually aspire to be. And similar to the serpent, with time, we cast off the shell of the past steadily growing from our mistakes and experiences, edging slowly closer to the image of the future someone we see ourselves as. For it lingers on in our minds, always a constant reminder to our potential. The sum of all our endeavors, goals, and aspirations equates this entity… formed in the confines of our hearts brought to life through deferred dreams, life choices, and situational interactions amongst peoples. We are the products of our environments wrapped in the beliefs learned and internalized through our perceived realities of the world’s truths and fallacies. A blank canvas sprayed with various ideas and interests… thoughts and actions placed on display in our minds own personal art galleries. Each vibrant hue intermixed with despicable shades of violent beauty primed to form a color wheel unique to the very soul, and even though we may appear to be our own worst critics we tend to give birth to the most captivating forms of art in time: the acknowledgement of self.
