I'm fully convinced that people can change themselves and be whatever they want to be.

In that vain, I've made some resolutions to change for this new year, and to take the good things I've been given in life and to run with them.

There are a lot of things in the future for me and I cannot wait see where I will find myself.

It's time to rock and roll, kids. :-D

So, for a bit of an update:

Still running several times a week - lost about 9 lbs in 3 weeks. Sounds pretty good to me.

I'm still eating well, and as it turns out, my eating habits are now to the point where I run out of several items all at once, which believe it or not makes shopping much easier for me.

I've slacked off in class a bit, but I kicked myself for it, and have already started making good strides towards getting back on track - and its lookin' pretty good.

Started rehearsal for the play I'm in, [i]She Stoops to Conquer[/i], which is gonna be an awesome play. We're gonna have audience on stage, and we're doing everything in period (moving, sitting, etc. etc.) - 1753, to be exact. Its going to be from November 19th to the 23rd, so if you can, come see it!!!

Also, I've started working on my Halloween costume...and it is going to be epic. I'm going to dress up like the Joker from Dark Knight, but with a bit of a twist...its going to be when the Joker is in the Nurses outfit in the hospital. Scary, eh? ;-)

As a side note, Go Bama, Go Pokes, and as far as OU/Texas goes, GO ASTEROIDS!!!

So, I've got a test today that I haven't studied for enough (which is what the next three hours are gonna be right after I grab a shower) but even still, like is awesome right now. Lemme explain:

1) I've been getting up early all this week so far, and going running. I've made Monday - Wednesday - Friday days where I run twice a day, and Tuesday - Thursday days where I just run once a day. This may not sound like a big deal to you guys buts it a huge thing for me to actually start getting up early despite whenever I go to sleep and keeping to a schedule. For those who don't know, my ultimate weight loss goal is 200 pounds; but 220 by the end of the Spring Semester. People keep telling me it is a very reasonable goal and I could possibly shoot for more but right now I just wanna play it safe. Rome wasn't built in a day and I know I'm not gonna loose weight overnight either...that being said...I've already lost 4 pounds since last week!

2) I'm eating better. Just in general, I'm eating a lot better, and that is making me feel good both from a better for my health standpoint from a willpower standpoint that I am able to keep this up. The real question is how much of this I will keep up once school begins to crank up on me.

3) I'm not letting myself slide barely under the radar and screw up my grades this year. I'm past my depression. Its over. Its done with. I'm happier, I'm healtheri, and this no damn reason why I shouldn't be kicking ass and getting A's like I know I should. I'm not much of a bragger but I'm a friggin' genius - its time my paperwork started to reflect that.

Overall...I'm wonderful. And somehow, I don't see that changing anytime soon...

Peace and love to you all, hope all is well.

PS - The title of this blog is a phrase I sorta just "came up with" earlier in the semester to describe my mood. Its a little "Pink Floyd" as a friend said, but I like it...

For all those nay sayers and haters out there; you are dumb dumb dumb.

Because the Speed Racer moive is fscking awesome.


And that is all for now folks.

I haven't posted in a while, but then again, I've been really busy. Life has been very up and down for me over the 7 months, but I have finally figured a lot of stuff out. I'm finally taking control of my life and moving in the directions I want to move. Its still not entirely banged out, and there are times when I feel like I am completely lost on a big empty road that is at a 4-Way cross. But I am still trucking, and taking care of things, and honestly?

I've never been happier.

Gotta get back to class, more later.
