What i once did.....

Over the summer, i went on a missions trip that entailed riding 2600 miles from Oregon to Tennessee. It was to raise money for an organization called Blood:Water Mission that works in Africa building wells and combating AIDS through this.

I always say that it changed my life and I believe this, the question is, however, how?

I spent a month at home working and riding my bike around before I went back to school in September and have been pretty much immersed in that ever since.

I miss the amazing friendships that I formed over the summer and the amazing things that I experienced while over the trip.

My point is.... I do not really know how to put into words how this trip changed my life.....

All that i know is that it was probably one of the greatest experiences in my life ever since I went overseas to the Philippines in 2005.

School has almost consumed my life, I have not taken my beautiful bicycle for a good ride in over a month and I feel out of shape again.

I do not understand my plight nor do I feel that I need it but I have faith that one day I will know what all that time was for.

My team that is sadly no longer a team.... I love you dearly with all that I have. You were my family on this trip and I hope that we can be together again someday......

Things I want to do.

I m tired of school. i want to spend time youtubing, blogging, podcasting, downloading, playing guitar, running, cycling, and partying with all my hot and sexy friends.

school should leave.......

Airband

I got called a jonas brother today. I am not sure if that is cool because lots of hot chicks think they are cool or if it is absolutely retarded.

So I was in this Airband competition for my school and I pretty much led much of the performance along with my friends who did it with me. We started off with Beat it covered by Fall Out Boy and then led into a song called Beyond Belief by Lecrae topping it off with a retarded rendition of Jonas Brothers. My favorite part most of all, was doing Don't Stop Believing by Journey. I pretty much made that performance. The funny thing is this might be as close as I'll ever get to being a rockstar like I always dreamed.

I mean we had all the hott soccer girls run up to the front to scream and shout and basically try to take our clothes off. I got to stage dive into some of my buddies arms . On top of that I got to play keyboard with my awesome other friends Nick, Adam, and Logan.

I had fun this night, but in the big world of things, I am not really one to buy into the whole ego thing. I would rather have one person see me for who I am than a hundred see me as some awesome rockstar who can lip-sync.

tomorrow I will wake up do laundry and do homework. That is my reality and that is my case.
The fact that tonight made everything awesome will be irrelevant tomorrow.

I have to remember who I am and who God wants me to be.

Thank you for tonite and for all the lemonade.

Stress dehydrates.

So I have been learning that if I just take everything in stride and stop burning out I will be okay. For the most part, every day that I am mad I probably take away a couple days off of my life.

Okay time to watch Star Wars

Taylor Lukehart does hand stands.

Done over again.

I'll count down the days when you stop reminding me of your ridiculous blind emotion.

Remember this time.

If you find out you cannot have what they have then find something they do not have. Take only what you need.

I saw a light today on the edge of a lake below a vast Peak towering over me. Now I am back in my room dead tired........sleeppppyyy

I never felt satisfied with my writing. There was one essay in Senior English that I felt satisfied with and I got an 'A' on it as well. The thing is it was never a very challenging paper. It only had to be five paragraphs and the thesis was an easy one to explain.

I did poorly on a synthesis paper today. I should have done way better than I did but because of laziness and distraction I forgot about the whole point of the paper. Plus, it was only 100 words pathetic.

This has been one of the hardest semesters for me. Classes are over the roof. I have an exam on Wednesday plus guitar lessons I have not practiced for. I am basically screwed and the worst part is I am horrible with my money.

I think that this will be the year that I truly begin to change.

Purpose?

I hope that someday I can find out what all this time was really for. Because I have lived the last 8 to 10 years of my life not really understanding their purpose at all.
