At a lack of ideas...

Yes, Even though I have posted exactly once (now twice) in the past 3 months, I am at a complete loss for ideas. So I'm taking Rell's idea for my 25 best songs of 2005, so in descending order:

25) Better Together- Jack Johnson
24) We Major- Kanye West
23) Incomplete- Backstreet Boys (yes, I'm serious)
22) Run It- Chris Brown
21) Soul Survivor Young Jeezy & Akon
20) One Wish- Ray J
19) Back Then- Mike Jones
18) Welcome to Jamrock- Damian Marley
17) Go!- Common
16) Celebration- Kanye West
15) Decatur- Sufjan Stevens
14) La Tortura- Shakira
13) Lose Control- Missy Elliott
12) Faithful- Common
11) 300 Bars & Runnin- Game
10) Dear Summer- Memphis Bleek (really Jay-Z)
9) Touch The Sky- Kanye West
8) Stay Fly- Three Six Mafia
7) Must Be Nice- Lyfe Jennings
6) Boulevard of Broken Dreams- Green Day
5) You and Me- Lifehouse
4) Yo- Chris Brown
3) Gone- Kanye West
2) Fix You- Coldplay
1) Testify-Common

fire away fools.

I have arrived

It's not just that I'm posting for the first time in 2 and a half months. It's not that I'm pretty much halfway done with my last year at Undergrad (and halfway done with post HS education in general). I've finally realized it. Maturity. People say it grows. I say that's bullshit. I realized, at one exact moment, while driving home from playing basketball on Wednesday, December 7th (a day that will live in infamy BTW), that I have not been a good person. I want to be a good person. I need it. Not just for my body, and sure as hell not for any reputation or anything. I need it for my soul.

Now people may be asking themselves what this means... Does this mean I will stop drinking? Not in the least. Does this mean i will drink less? Absolutely. Does this mean I will completely and totally stop being a jerk? eh, probably not. Does it mean that I will wholeheartedly try to lessen and eliminate those jerk moments? Without a doubt. I'm not exactly sure what this means, but I really feel some sort of inner clarity that I haven't felt in a while. It's refreshing. It's something I haven't felt in a LONG time. Time to face temptation and shut it down.

It's time for maturity. Seriously.


Exams + Law School apps=sucks. That's all you need to know about my current situation.
