I have been MIA for a while now my fellow followers & tumbl-ers. I apologize! I have just been busy with basketball, school, and work( well lack of ). I have come here to announce something life changing. I have decided to join the Navy. 

I am most likely going to go into the Health Care and use the Navy to assist me in getting my BSN and eventually help pay for my education to get my Masters. This choice is a heavy one and I’ve been contemplating it for years. I’ve only decided to take action now due to many different circumstances but I believe in a few years eveything will turn out for the best. 

And well..that’s it! 

Harmonious

Like a blip on the radar, we do not take notice of the things that seem to mean the most. We wish endlessly. We dream to all the ends of the Earth. But some of us just can’t seem to grasp reality. The beauty of it all is that it doesn’t stop and wait for us. I argue to myself, ” Oh, well I’ll be able to get it all back one day. ” I need to stop this train of thought. Maybe you do too. The moment time starts for us is the minute , no pun intended, we need to start living. From every waking moment to every dying second. Whether our eyes open with such ferocity due to the fact that we slept past our alarm, or that the sun’s rays have decided to subtly leave a trail of warmth along our skins we should live with the idea that each time our conscience is aware, we need to be aware. To hear the rain drop along the sidewalks and windows. To hear our neighbors argue. To hear the sirens of the local fire station crescendo into the afternoon heat. To feel our lover’s touch. To grasp the very fabric of life. I feel as if we let it slip through our fingers to easily, much like watching sand fall through the slits. Hold on to it. Revel in it. Torture it. Squeeze every fucking ounce of it out. You only live once right? Everyone says it. Everyone hears it. Not everyone comprehends it. We assume that we live and then we die. Its not that quite simple really. There’s something in between that.

It’s called living.

❝ ….every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball ❞

Jim Carrey from Yes Man. 

I find it quite funny. Such a comedic, fun movie. And out of all the scenes and lines this movie had to offer, this one stood out the most for me. I took it to heart. I want to be the guy that has to make up for every guy that has treated a lady wrong. Not necessarily in a lovey-dovey sense, but moreso as someone they can turn to. Someone that will always have their back. Chivalry is hard to come by, but I hate it. I really hate it when girls say its dead. They repeat the same lines over and over again.

“Oh he’s too nice. You’ll find someone good for you”

“Chivalry is dead, where are all the good guys ?!”

“Why can’t I find a good guy?!”

etc.

No just no. You aren’t looking hard enough darling.

Most of us find ourselves flowing with the current. It’s so simple to walk besides the common (wo)man. I guess you can say we love to take the easy path and nothing is wrong with that ! No not at all. As a collective, we are prone to go with the flow per say. I, too, find myself at times walking down the beaten path others have set before me. It’s easier to face things together. It seems easier to see a path laid out before us and all we have to do is follow. But…… But it takes a special kind of…characteristic to change that. It takes a special type of person to go against it. Remembering the old days where I stayed glued to the tv watching the Discovery Channel, I remember that salmon swim upstream to mate and lay their offspring. They fight, they jump, they dive, they commit. Its that commitment to go against the current. Its our fists going through a dry wall. I want to change myself for this aspect in life. We are so busy working and listening that we forget that we have a voice. We have individuality. We have ourselves. We sit on our chairs listening to the professors lecture us. We sit in our cars waiting for the next song to roll in. We lounge on the couches waiting for the new episode to roll on. We wait online waiting for that someone to come on. We wait. I want us to take an initiative. I want us to change…to dive into dark waters. To walk where no man has walked before. Neil Armstrong, and the people behind him, proved to the world what a human being is capable of.  One day I’ll die. But on my death bed I want to be able to say that I lived. I fought for what I believed in. I was pushed and shoved and clawed upon. I want people to say, “No you can’t do that.” to my face just so I can prove them wrong. I want to be all to die not just as a man. Not just a human being with accomplishments here and there. I want to die as a man who has completed this phenomenon called life.
