With my grad ceremony closing in on just under 3 weeks, I think it’s appropriate to start this blog back up again. This blog has really gone under some drastic changes (from blogspot to wordpress, and everything in between), and I’ve finally come to realize that there is simply no point in my speaking (well, writing) objectively. I’m no one special, just a dude trying to live his life the best he can. That being said, it’s highly likely that, if you are one of the few people who actually read this crap, you’ll see a lot more subjective posts that revolve around myself, my thoughts, and my life. Conversely, if you were one of the few who did ever like my satirical writing, me and a few buddies decided to start up a new blog entitled “STUD” (‘Speak To Us Dummy’), in which we take a deeper look and give our 2pennies on anything and everything pertinent to the marketing world. STUD should be up and running come end of May 2010.
Anyway, I’ve been stressed out of my mind as of late. School has been kicking my ass all semester. It feels as though I’ve had a test every week since March, and group projects are blah. Managerial Economics is a bastard. My internship has been pretty volatile as well – having lots of ups and downs, but at the end, we remain strong. Lastly, my 4 year relationship came to a crashing halt. I didn’t know everything could come crumbling down at once, but I guess experiencing hardships and getting past them is an important part of life. It’s okay though.. cause at the end of the day, I know that I was able to get through it on my own, again – as I always have. Really, the most upsetting thing to me is the relationship. I mean, it’s not everyday I put blood, sweat, and tears into something, but when I do, I would half expect it to live up to what I imagine it to be. I know I’m not the nicest dude in the world, nor have I ever claimed to be. I’m just me, and I hope one day I find someone who will love me unconditionally for who I am. [simp]Honestly, I just want a down to earth girl who wants to share her experiences with me as much I’d want to share with her.[/simp] It’s all good though, one day I’ll find you, but until then, surrounding myself with good friends is perfectly fine with me.
On the upside, there have been some good things going on at the office. Our marketing team might get subcontracted to work on a pretty big campaign for North America. Moreover, I’ll be the new VP of Communications for our campus’ American Marketing Association. I had originally ran for VP of Corporate Relations, but didn’t get the position 
All good though, I’m still glad to be a part of the e-board for Fall. I’m actually a little glad Matt nominated me and the position kinda fell in my lap. I noticed things tend to go pretty well whenever I just go with the flow of things instead of constantly trying to control what goes on in my life. And I think I’ma start doing just that. I just want to live my life surrounded by good people, good friends, and good times.
Stay true to yourself, your beliefs, and your ideologies. Don’t change for anyone except yourself.
Esse Quam Videri.
On a sidenote, I don’t know which I like better. The original 21 guns was perfect the way it was, but this version might just be better.. Wish they’d throw it on the original music video.
Original:
“When it’s time to live and let die, and you can’t get another try. Something inside this heart is dying, you’re in ruins…One, 21 Guns. Lay down your arms, give up the fight. One, 21 guns. Throw up your arms, into the sky.. You and I…”
