The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just leave it.
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
George Carlin"
So, I had a really good day today. A reeeeeally good day. I haven’t hung out with my friend Megan Ziiiiman in the longest, and we had the best time ever. It was ridiculous how much fun we had considering what we were doing lol. I really missed her! But I didn’t realize how much I missed her ‘til we actually hung out. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I tooootally missed her a lot! But it’s been so long that….yeah I don’t know where I’m going with this but hopefully whoever’s reading this knows what I mean! Great day. Then to top it all off…..JERSEY SHORE PREMIERE!!!!! Brenda has special cable or something so I went to her house and we watched it THREE HOURS before everyone else did! Yes!! Siiiiide note- Come close by common just came on shuffle….loooove that song! Common is so beasty to me. Have you ever seen him act? What a gangstaaaaaa!! “I just want you to know, your whole, being is beautiful. Ima to do the best I can do…cause i’m the best when i’m with you” Damn Common…so simple yet so lovely. Anywaaaayz. Side tracked haha. Uhmmmm lets see what else can I write? I have insomnia so bad right now. OH! I went to the summer school graduation!! MOZEL TOV to everyone that made it! Better late than never, seriously. All the people on the stage did what they had to do so they could graduate, and I respect that. On another note, tomorrow is CHEESECAKE DAY!!!!!!!! All cheesecake at the cheesecake factory is 50% off…..so you already KNOW I’m there! I’m way more excited about this than I should be haha. Then I think I’m bouta go to the club that night. We’ll see what happens though. Let’s seeeee…what else? I went to Target with Roman the other day. Worst.mistake.EVER! I should’ve learned from that one time we went grocery shopping hahaha. That went a little something like this: “I want some cookies lets get some cookies…oh! oh my god! lets get cookie dough! casey lets get some cookie dough. I knoooow you want some cookie dough. please oh please oh pleeeease!” Oy. Yeah but we walk in right and he turns to me and says, “I’ll be right back…I’m going to go steal”. BTW….we went there to get him some soap that you use to make your skin lighter (which doesn’t even exist). -_________________- Oh Roman. Oooo, another good song came on! 4019435 points for whoever knows this one… Yo Will love play with us? It sting like paper cuts I bet NO ONE knows that song. It’s okay. Haha. Let’s see…I think that’s about it. I’m actually feeling a bit drowsy which is good. Man. My throat hurts =( Oh. And I got a hair cut….not happy. It’s okay though, I’ll live. It’s only hair. But that doesn’t help that I feel like a boy…hahaha! Randoooom: Watch “It’s so cold in the d” on youtube…HILLAAAARIOUS! AND ON THAT NOTE….I’m hittin’ the sheets like ayyyyy. currently listening to: Real raw; Dr. Octagon
You can tell when people wanna spend they life together
Despite the weather
They treat each other like a treasure
Can’t fight forever
You got to give it up
I ain’t got a lot of time
We got to live it up
Doused in alcohol
But if it’s real
There ain’t no greater rush
I got faith in us
It’s only you who really know me
I be surrounded by people
And still feel lonely
Summer summer summer summer! Wow. Summer is crazy!! I’m telling you…I’m going to remember this summer forEVER! I just feel like everything I do is creating a memory because I know that after this summer, things are going to change drastically. I find myself getting sad when I’m with my friends, having the time of my life (ironically), because in the back of my head I know that everything is about to change. I’m moving to Israel in 40 days!!!! Leaving August 22nd (no I can’t go to Rock the bells even though I’ve gone the past 3 years…don’t remind me it’s a touchy subject).
Wow….9 months.

I’m thankful for everyone that’s in my life or that has been a part of it. Summer is startin off sloooooow but the pace should pick up quickly =) Ahhh, summer nights <3 Especially with a boo? Ooo :D

Okay last weekend was shitty…but it was followed by a FANTASTIC week!
So on monday, I didn’t go to school ‘cause I was in San Diego visiting my sistaaaaa. That was fun! We went out to the most crazy breakfast place ever! (Look for the picture on my facebook under my tagged photos). So on tuesday&wednesday I had finals&aced them all! Man I swear if you get an A on the final you should get an A in the class…but whatever.
Wednesday was a gooooood ass day but it was also sad. That was the day that my forensics buddies left for Missouri. But I got to spend some quality time with them before I left =) Best night everrrrr. Not really but it was pretty damn good!
Then, thursday I left for GRAD NIGHT! My bus kinda sucked but the people I was kickin’ it with were funny as HELL even though I got endless wet willies and my hair ruffled up a bit. I did a last minute room switch&I’m glad I did! I had hella those girls are pure COMEDY! Especially Jazmine. That bitch is hillarious! I just had an overall good time. Countless inside jokes…those are always great. So if you don’t know what grad night is…here is the basic schedule: Thursday- leave in the morning arrive to LA at 8pm..leave for DISNEYLAND at 10pm. Come back to the hotel at 5am. That shit was crazy even though I was FREEEEEEZING. The next day…well 3 hours later we went to Universal studios for 8 hours. Then we went back to the hotel and got a good night rest…psych! Everyone stayed up anyways. &Why not?? We’re young we can handle it. The next morning we left for Magic Mountain and had another 8 hours there. We only got to go on 2 rides though -_____- But it’s good we had hella fun in the restaurant place making fun of people hahaha. After that, we embarked on out journey back to the bay. We got back around 1 in the morning. I can’t believe its all over already!
Today was my last day of school. I’m not even sad I could care less man I don’t even like most of the people at my school. The people I’m going to miss most are the teachers hahaha. Cause I know that the people that count I’ll see so I’m not sweatin. It didn’t even feel like the last day of school, it felt so regular. But whatever. Saturday is graduation (&Nico’s birthday!) and I couldn’t be more ecstatic! Summer is pretty much officially here I can’t wait to get it crackinnnn’! I know that this summer is going to be memorable, I just have that feeling. Can it be here already???

I had the absolute worst weekend of my life, and I do NOT wish to speak of it ever again. So don’t ask.
But I always try to look on the brightside of things. I met some really great people. And I got to visit my sistaaaa in San Diego for a day which was awesome! And we went to an AMAAAAAZING place for breakfast. It’s called the Hash House (so you know its good ;). I wonder if they have a location in the Bay area…hope so!
Tomorrow I have finals and I just finished a SHIT LOAD of late work. I feel a weird sense of accomplishment. Hahaha. I still have to do a stupid project/speech for my Rhetoric class. I got the speech part down but we’re supposed to have pictures or something to go with it, and THAT I have not done. I should be doing it instead of blogging, but I thought I deserved a break after literally hours of homework. Plus I don’t have the right papers to do it on. So fuck it.

Sooooo I’m in Maryland right now. Why you may ask? I’m here for an orientation for my Israel trip. There’s going to be one in LA but that’s the weekend of grad night, so I couldn’t attend that. OMGGGGGG!! I’m so bored!! The time is 3 hours ahead here so all my cousins are asleep. And I’m using a really slow laptop so facebook isn’t even fun it’s just annoying!
I just went on a mission to get a piece of cake. It was a mission because the floors here creeeeeeeeeeek like no other!&the stairs too. So I crept all the way down and got my cake….and now I don’t even want it cause I’m INCREDIBLY thirsty. Why didn’t I get some milk while I was down there?! That was just stupid.
I’m really mad that I’m here and not in the bay for a pleathera of reasons. 1) I’ve heard of 3 parties on friday night 2) I’m missing my last house party on saturday!! 3) I have a final in my english class&I’d rather just get it out of the way 4) I want to smoooooke! Why didn’t I bring some treeeee? 5) It’s flippin hot&I only brought 1 pair of shorts&3 jackets -__________- 6) This is the last weekend I coulda kicked it with my forensics friends cause when I come back the next day they’re going to Nats &&&&&&&&&& 7) I hate the airport/airplanes. And I had to be on one for 7 hours today. I just tried to sleep the whole time, and thankfully was successful!
Okay I’m done complaining. No I’m not I lied I still am mad at myself for not bringing any sticky ickyyy. The weed out here sucks compared to what we got in the bay. That’s some GOOOOOOD shit. When I get home, I’m smoking a fatass blunt.

I don’t even know how to express how I feel into words. I had such a great weekend..I can’t even..I don’t know. Hahaha. &It was all thanks to a certain faggottttt that goes by the name of Nicolas Bremond :p. Forreal, I had sooooo much fun! Prom was just about perfect…there’s no one else I’d rather have gone with =) It just felt right
I will mos defff remember this weekend forever. I can’t believe its over already! It feels like it took forever to come&now its gone. There are still a lot of upcoming events to look forward to within the next few weeks. This coming weekend I’m going to Maryland for my Israel orientation. Then when I come back we have finals&my boss forensics friends are going to NATIONALS! Then theres grad night, GRADUATION, and Nico&Ish’s birthdays. So much to look forward to, it isn’t over quite yet…gotta hang on for a little bit longer.

This weekend was pretty laid back&it was nice for a change.
On friday, I went out to an AMAZING sushi restaurant with my friend Nea. It was a blasteeee! It’s so weird. We can not talk to each other for literally months, and when we come back together it’s like I saw her yesterday. I really value our friendship. This is going to sounds soooo lame but I know that we will be friends forever. Put us through any test&and we will pass it. Although we don’t talk as much as we used to, I know that she will ALWAYS be there for me, as I will be there for her…always.
After dinner I hung out with my friend Jessika. She’s so great! I met her in one of my classes this year and who would’ve known that we would become such great friends. She’s one of the realest people I’ve met, which is so relieving because most of the people I used to surround myself with were so materialistic&ill-hearted.
SATURDAAAAAAy. I slept in for the first time in a while, then I did some things around the house. I was supposed to go to some BBQ for my friends birthday but it didn’t happen cause of the weather or something. Instead I hung out with my pals Angel, Angelo, and Markieeee. I love hanging out with them, they put out such a wonderful vibe. It’s hard not to have fun!! I feel bad though and towards the end of the night I started falling asleep. I’m sorry!!!!
Usually I don’t do anything on sunday, but I went to my friend Gabri’s house&we watched this INSAAAAAAAANE documentary. Oh myyyyyy!!! I had to take breaks because of all the information I was taking in. It was intense man. It was intense.
Well….that’s about it. The reason I’m up so late is caaause I didn’t go to school today so I racked in about 16 hours of sleep. I’m not even kidding you. And now there is NO way I can sleep, it sucks. But I’m finding ways to keep myself occupied. I refuse to go on facebook though! I went on earlier but I figured it out. If you are on for more than 15-25 minutes, all hope is lost for you. So I just check my shiiieeet, then cut. I also don’t go on everyday…ew! It’s really sad when people are on all the time. Or the one’s that have more than 1 status update a day. Facebook is NOT your diary!! I mean it doesn’t annoy me or anything, this isn’t directed towards anyone but that’s just my opinion. Cause this is MY BLOG! I can say what I waaaant haha. That’s what I love about having a blog. I don’t even care if no one reads it.
Okay, I’m done forreal now! Haha. I’m going to go do some arts&crafts =)
