[22 Nov 2002|03:09pm] [ mood | peaceful ] Life seems to be falling back into place. Over the past few weeks I felt like I had 10 things going on all the time, with fraternity, school, girlfriend, family, etc. But today I think everything finally slowed back down to my pace. Or at least thats how it feels. Jeff drove with me to get a new license today. We went all the way to Sanford, let me tell you, its not the most happening place. So now I have a drivers license again, with a new picture. It's no longer me at 15! Now its me at 20. So big thanks to Jeff for helping me out! What else? Oh, tonight is Chi Omega Formal with Kristin. I think its gonna be a really good time. The FIJI formal was great, and I am with the best girl in the world again, so this one should be cool too. :) Other than that, I'm looking forward to going home for Thanksgiving. We are having almost the entire family down and its going to be a huge dinner. I love eating. And getting to hang out with my family for a few days is gonna be awesome too. And the company I worked for over the summer, The Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, wants me to come back next summer to coach the swim team and teach swim lessons again. I loved that job last summer, so there's a really good chance I would do it again. I mean I got to work at a 4 star resort right next to the ocean. But I don't want to leave Orlando and all the people here for a whole summer again. Oh well, thats a little ways away... we'll just get to that later. I am gonna take a nap right now, so I can dance all night, right Kristin?! lol. ;) 2 comments|post comment

[21 Nov 2002|01:17pm] [ mood | amused ] I feel like I have so much to say in this entry. -First of all, I am looking forward to the chi omega 'symphony ball' that kristin and i are going to this Friday. It's gonna be good stuff. -You know what I hate, is these damn cars that have modified mufflers, so they sound fast. Usually it is like a civic or an echo driving by at 35 mph, how dumb! -I think there is a lot of love in the air right now, but it seems that most of these people don't see what is right in front of them! -Lately I have gotten back into Led Zeppelin. I took a break from classic rock, but its back at the top of my list now. -I think I am going to do really well on my economics test, but every time I say that, I don't do well. :( -I'm glad Meggy was upgraded from vomit peasant to vomit princess. -Having Kristin has made all my days a whole lot better! -Last night there was a special on about the separation between church and state. I couldn't believe some of the crap that people say. One was like, If you eradicate God from the U.S. then we will all die. What the fuck?! Does God only look after us Americans? I don't think so. Jesus.... -These live journals give me something to do when I am bored. -Today I am picking up my tuxedo with Adam, we gotta look sharp for all those Chi Os. Especially our girlfriends! :) I've got to get back to studying the labor demand curve now. Sometimes its kinked, sometimes its not.. ah... it needs to make up its mind. lol. stupid economics 1 comment|post comment

[20 Nov 2002|03:36am] [ mood | sleepy ] Today was pretty good. I woke up at 8 and ate breakfast with jeff. Then I fell back asleep til 11. When I got up I watched some sportscenter. Then I decided to get dressed. Later on Kristin and I studied together out in the really great weather. Meggy and her other friends hung out with us for a while. We all kinda sat around and talked, and I tried to read my economics. And a girl named Chrissy had peppermint coffee and I drank it and it was some strong stuff. Not bad though. I really liked getting to see Kris before class. So when I got into my 4pm class, Dr. Bersia told us all to get into discussion groups. We had to cover 4 issues of terrorism. It turned out to be some interesting dialogue within my group. I like talking politics with people who know what they are talking about. *which is few and far between oh well, i think most people have better things to worry about than the current health care crisis in america. lol. man.. im tired. Oh but the coolest part of today was when Jeff and I cooked lasagna for Kristin and Meggy. They came over to study too. We watched Office Space and ate dinner together. Kristin and I had a karate match. I won!! lol.. no i didnt. Really, these two girls are awesome to hang out with. Jeff thinks so to. all in all, it was just a really cool night. I need to sleep, geez... its 3:30!! err those girls! forget everything i just said. LOL. J/K! hmmm.. well i'll leave it at that. Oh and I love Kristin!!! *i have to perform my duties as vomit king, meggy! 2 comments|post comment

[18 Nov 2002|02:24am] [ mood | loved ] This one is going to be short. I just have to say how incredibly in love I am with Kristin. I seriously think about her all the time and when I am with her I feel like I am on cloud 9. I can't say it any other way than that I love her. Some may say, hey its only been three weeks. But my heart tells me this girl is the one for me. I am not worried about being hurt because she feels the same way toward me. The best part about us is that we let each other enjoy our own lives. We do not tell each other what to do really, and yet we still see each other a lot. It's exactly the way its supposed to be. I have always thought that love is always worth pursuing, when it is there, and to not be afraid of it. So thats that... I know its mushy and stuff to write an entry like this but its what is on my mind right now. Othewise I played intramural baseball today and froze my ass off on the field. And we lost by one run. The game went into extra innings. It was fun to play since I really hadn't since I was like 10. Thats all I am gonna write in this one.. 4 comments|post comment

[17 Nov 2002|04:40am] [ mood | exhausted ] Being that I have read dozens of philosophical works and everyone else is writing their ideas i am gonna wax philosophical too Here are some Vetere axioms, entirely from my own head, so they may be wrong.. but probably not -There can be no happiness without a knowledge of unhappiness. -Those who feed on the past have no taste for the present. - It is in our simplest moments where we are most content. - You can never make others 100% happy since the very idea of complete happiness is unattainable. - Friendship is best calculated using quality of time spent in the formula, not hours of time spent - Love is abundantly available, but since we are bombarded with it so much each day, we have grown immune to its potency. - Love is well above the capacities of the human mind, luckily, however, the heart is capable of feeling. Love is not known, it is felt. - We often lose sight of the forest by focusing on a broken twig. It is nearly 5am! These may be tired ramblings.. let me know. Oh but here is my favorite quote of all-time. "Although, therefore, people generally determine everything by their pleasure, many more advantages than disadvantages arise from their common union. It is better, therefore, to endure with equanimity the injuries inflicted by them, and to apply our minds to those things which subserve concord and the establishment of friendship." -Spinoza Good night... 1 comment|post comment

[15 Nov 2002|12:20am] [ mood | accomplished ] "Sometimes you just gotta wait til the next frame." -words of wisdom from grad brother marshall That being said. I had an awesome time at Oviedo Bowl with my brothers and with Kristin. In the second round Jason Schwartz and I had an epic battle for first place. It went back and forth a few times, but Jason finished with 149 and I finished with 122. He bowled two strikes in the last frame to pull it off. That was great. I also got to hang out with Jeff today which was cool, cause we havent in a little while. Other than that I found out I am getting an A in two of my classes, almost definitely. So everything is going pretty well with all that stuff. Hmm... it turns out I am most likely going to be rush chair in the spring for FIJI.. which I am really excited about. Other than that I am pretty tired and its looking like I will be asleep before 1am! lol :) But then again I am going to call Kristin before I sleep. Surely some good times there. So there ya go, journal #3... 1 comment|post comment

[14 Nov 2002|03:21am] [ mood | happy ] I didn't actually think I would write a second entry, but it turns out they are pretty fun to write... My day started with me waking up too late for going to class. I guess going to sleep at 4am caught up to me there. Anyhow, today still turned out to be really cool. It started off when I went to lunch with Don and his friend Nate, we had a good time talking about politics, since we are all political science majors. Dan and I went to the gym and then we went to surprise kristin and meggy. We saw Meggy but Kristin was not there and Meggy and her friends were just leaving to go to Sonny's for dinner. Apparently Sonny's is the cool place right now. I was supposed to play football at 8 tonight, but as it turned out, I had a mandatory thing with FIJI, so I went to that instead. It was an early recruitment 'get together' where we talked to prospects. The prospects seemed like cool guys too, so I was happy about that. I want us to have a quality pledge class this spring. Then all us brothers and the prospects went to Chilis to eat and hang out. good times there too. The best part of the day though was when I got out of chilis and finally got together with Kristin. We went to a bonfire at the house, which was awesome. I know I have said it before but this girl has a big effect on me, and its really good. What's funny too is that earlier in the day I was talking with some friends about what is pure in life. And I have always thought that there are few pure moments.. here's a few... -eating -shower -reading -going to the bathroom (you'll have to ask me about that one) ;) -kissing Yep, I guess thats it about all I got tonight. Til next time... 1 comment|post comment

[13 Nov 2002|03:12am] [ mood | sleepy ] So this is my first journal entry.. its so exciting. Well not really, but I figure I will give one of these a shot. To get you updated and stuff, I have a girlfriend now. Her name is Kristin (not kirstin!), and really she is the coolest girl I have ever dated. We have been going out for a week and a half now.. thats not a long time, but we are getting close. Its pretty crazy stuff, but I like where its taking me. Alright, so today was pretty cool. I was on campus for almost the whole day doing stuff with brothers and pledges and also going to class. Class always seems to get squeezed into my weekdays. Later in the day, Kristin and I were driving to get her car fixed and the traffic was really bad (seriously that must be what hell is, just endless traffic). lol. maybe. Well it turned out she just needed a replaced brake light bulb and so I fixed that for her in the parking lot, where she proceeded to thank me by saying "thanks jeffy-poo". hmmm... my name isnt Jeff... Oh well, I thought it was funny, I guess. Around 8 or so, I hung out with the brothers for Round 1 of Buffet Olympics at Sonny's. Like always, we had an awesome time. Kristin had a good time with us FIJI's too. I like when girls tell me how great Phi Gamma Delta is, b/c sometimes I don't think people appreciate as much as we deserve. Oh and tonight I had my hair styled with pomade and hair spray with 'heat enhancers' or something like that. It looked alright, but I think I'll stick with my usual style. No gel required! :) That's all I got because I am extremely tired. I wonder why that is... kristin and especially meggy because she is the real party animal! lol. Good night. 1 comment|post comment
