Don't you worry 'bout a thing

Dear Reader,

Don't worry about a thing! Life is wonderful! Ok, so today I was watching "Hitch," the Will Smith-Comedy in which he plays a secret match-maker in New York City. The song title for the day comes from that movie. It really is a good movie. I was watching with some coworkers right after talking to them about marriage. Don't worry, I'm not getting married anytime soon. We were discussing different ways to propose and different things to avoid when planning a wedding. Final conclusion: I'm going to wear my purple tie at my wedding. Haha, we have so much fun.

It was a fun day with my coworkers. We went to Seven Peaks water park this morning and had a wonderful day in the water. I got a great sunburn. :) I have to shout out to Shannon and Kyle for being so awesome today.

When we actually got to work, my coworker and I started talking about chick-flicks and relationships. She has a wonderful outlook on getting married and it is understandable why she is not married yet. It has nothing to do with having the chances to get married, she just knows the caliber of man she wants to form a family with and she hasn't found a guy of that caliber yet. She gave me several good insights to better communicate with women. It was wonderful.

She also showed us a wonderful motivational video which I want to highlight here today. The main line of the video was, "You will be successful when you want to be successful more than you want to sleep. You will be successful when you you want to be successful more than wanting to breath." It was a motivational video that achieved its goal in helping me want to be more successful in life. I want to be successful spiritually and emotionally. I want to be successful financially and intellectually.

How true is it that we get distracted by lots of things that have nothing to do with what we really want. We can be successful people when we decide to work for what we want instead of partying all the time or trying to be popular. I will say right now: I want to be successful in my schooling and my relationships that will help me become a good husband/father. I want to be successful as a disciple of Christ. I want it more than I want to sleep. I want to prove that as well.

With that in mind, don't you worry 'bout a thing. Work hard with toward what you want. You will get it.

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Happy Doo da Day!

Dear Readers, You'll all be pleased to know that I accomplished something recently. It involves music and I feel very proud of myself. I was selected by our music director to play in our school's concerto night sometime during the month of May. This is one of the few things I've been hoping to do for a very long time. Although, there are a few reservations about being part of this honor. One of which deals with how the selection process works. I know it doesn't matter in the least bit, but I can't help thinking about me being picked as a senior. I tried out last year and did not make it as one of the soloists. I have to assume that had to be part of the process in selecting someone when looking at the list of soloists. They are all amazingly talented people in music, many of which were part of Concerto night last night. Most of the ones who were not participated in the Spring Concert as soloists. See what I mean? It could be possible that I was picked merely because...

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
