Don't cry because its over, be happy because it HAPPENED

If I have learned anything in life it would be that sadness does not cure anything. Seriously. When I am upset i realize how silly I am acting. When I am upset I feel like a despise the world. But when I am happy nothing can stop me. Like I always say, my FAVORITE is LAUGHING and SMILING. We should all try to be the Hugh Newman in Life. If you havn't seen the short film, Validation with T.J. Thyne and Vicki Davis. It is phenomenal and about a man who just wanted to see a smile on everyones face. He was so positive and he only brought out the good in people, seeing past their weaknesses. It really is something; I will HIGHLY recomend it. Life IS Beautiful. Despite all the cruel and evil amongts us, we can find our happy place. Rachael showed me this song one day. I fell in love. THIS. IS. a happy song:

Lemonade--Chris Rice

So go ahead and ask her
For happy ever after
'Cause nobody knows what's coming
So why not take a chance on loving
Come on, pour the glass and tempt me
Either half-full or half-empty
'Cause if it all comes down to flavor
The glass is tipping in my favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

Now take your time to answer me
For the beauty of romancing
Is to calm your trembling hand with mine
While begging love to fill your eyes
I can hardly breathe while waiting
To find out what your heart is saying
And as we're swirling in this flavor
The world is tilting in our favor

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

I've got it made
Rest in the shade
And hold my love
While God above
Stirs with a spoon
We share the moon
Smile at the bees
More sugar please
He really loves us after all
We're gonna need another straw!
We're gonna need another straw!

Life gave me lemonade and I can't imagine why
Born on a sunny day, beneath a tangerine sky..
life gave me lemonade and i can't imagine why
born on a sunny day benath the tangerene sky
I live life without pretending
I'm a sucker for happy endings
Thanks for the lemonade
Thanks for the lemonade!

I cant believe how ready i am for school to be done. Then one year left. WOW. Where did the time go? Live TODAY like there is no tomorrow. NOTHING will get better by just waiting. Dont sit on your bum telling the person to come in when they knock on the door. GET UP AND ANSWER IT. There are so many golden opportunities we probably take for granted but we shoulden't. Take ON THE STOOOOOORRM. Bring on THE RAIN. I always say, "Life is not about getting through the strom, its about learning how to dance in the RAIN".

UMMM..Today Sarah and I realized why guys think we are so confusing. We had a magnificent brawl out talking about how rediculous we are...BUT SO ARE THEY. THEY NEED TO TALK. NOT PRETEND. But so are we. BUT NOT BECAUSE WE WANT TO. IT IS DIFFICULT. Comunication is key. And so are friends. What would i do with out knowing i can always turn to sarah and of course our dear Lord. He is the one who is always there when the world turns you away. It is really, REALLY hard sometimes, but in the end I know He will make things turn out right. Maybe it will be good to get away in the summer. But still not ideal. I just need a brain rinse actually. Dang. Oh well.

Portland was the place. We had some nice casual adventures. Met some cool people. Ate some delicious food. Pretty much we roamed the town on our own, Sarah, Juliette and i. There were so many great sights to see, and my eyes were defiantly widened. Probably evne more so than when i was in seattle. Soo so many homeless people. But it was a good exoerence. Many talented musicians as well. Some not so much, yet entertaining to watch. Taking the MAX, light rail train thing was an adventure in itself. Usually so mant people were on it, and even so we were squished and had to stand up. But there was one point, saturday night, after a really long day we were noticng how bumpy and fun the ride was and sarah was like "Harm, i just thought it would be SO cool to hang a hamick between the two bars". And sudennly i had a great Epiphany. So i was like "OR we could just climb up and swing from the bars. SO. That we did. We waited for the last person to get off and hit the bars. It was way too fun. And like a traveling playground. It wasn't until after wards that we realized there were cameras. Ha. We are brilliant. Yet, nothing came of it. I am sure the conducters had their day made.

I am trying to stay as positive as possible. It is not simple. How do i keep my cool? Ga. I can do it. Napoleon Dynamite made me happy. Kip "Peace Out". loves
