100 MPH and Climbin'

Most people don't know this about me, but I feel that writing and pictures are the best ways to convey a message. Writing is VERY therapeutic; when you just write and don't worry about being interrupted and your thoughts are complete. The latter, pictures are worth a thousand words; so they say. I believe a picture is worth a thousand emotions. Here is why...

The last couple of weeks were a joyous time for myself and some of my closest life long friends. My old room mate is getting married to a really good friend of mine (I like to believe that when each of them called me and asked about the other, I had a hand in them getting together) and the other just had his "seed". Both of those are great achievements and celebrations that will never be forgotten. So, yesterday I came home from work, sat back and looked at my DVD's. Didn't find a movie to watch so I decided to check out some old photos from my college years....

As I mentioned before, a thousand emotions, and they all came out yesterday. Sitting at my chair, crying about funny pictures, times and scenarios. Diggin' in the crates and seeing my boys chillin in the room with Madden 2002 on the screen, or kicking with liquor and card games. Going back and remembering the day and the second you took the shot. Now that those times are behind you, your suppose to look forward to the future....But seeing my past brought out emotions and feelings that were closed with the acceptance of my degree.

It got me thinking about how each one of our lives has changed. Most are getting married, getting lil ones or planning on doing something big. Which is real good, probably the best thing we can be doing right now. We all still keep in touch and, from what I have seen, haven't changed a bit. Life is changing quick, I still remember the week Mason was snowed in and we all were chillin in Amer and Kwmas room, Tyrone AKA "Brandy Not Monica"(ROFL) and Shawn doing something stupid LOL. Marcus and his broke knee and myself with a flaky shoulder; not to mention Kwam and his busted ankle and Amer....Did something....LOL. Playing Ball together in the field house and Amer and I trying to dunk. Shawn completely messing up the words to Ludacris and who could forget "Baiter"???!!! Ryan wreaking his car with Shawn in it. Kwam, Amer and I never going to class for EVPP and passing, watching people bust their asses on the ICE walking to class. Amer's addiction to GTA and how we bought a weak ass sub from Best Buy. And who can forget Xzibit for Mason Day???!!!

That just some of the memories....And really that was in one semester. I can say with all my heart I love all of y'all and I will be there no matter what. You guys made going to Mason an "experience" and not a "challenge". If you need anything, you know the digits (Amer don't lose your phone or back your numbers up or something) call me!


Side note: Kwam, your daughter is going to have a horrible childhood, cause Uncle Brian, Marcus, Amer, Ryan (good luck explaining that one), Shawn, Grant aren't going to let her date any old dude.

congratulations Kwam and Sylvia for having a healthy baby girl!
congratulations to Nick and stacks, I honestly don't know what I say that night but Lauren has confirmed it was something nice.

Don't get out of reach with any of your people from college, they are a valuable asset to you, be it just someone to talk to about everyday life to the person who can get you a better job; friends don't let friends leave....Ever!
