The Great Return

Summer time is the blogging season, no more school, that's a good enough reason! Its time to really start blogging again, before my life passes me by, seriously! First I just want to shout to Sammy (the Chancellor), just for old-times sake. Oh yeah, vote in the new poll at the bottom of the page.

So I went to my little sister's golf banquet today back at Monarch High School, mainly because my Dad made me (and i am too scared to disobey him). Walking through those halls again definitely brought back some memories and feelings I forgot I ever had. It really got me thinking, once I saw all the kids who are still in high school. They seemed so care-free, having no idea where life was going to take them. Its crazy to think that was me only a year ago. It seems like so long ago, but just yesterday. I still have no idea where life will take me. It seems like time has started playing tricks on me. It leaves me pondering if anyone else feels like this. Don't get me wrong, life is amazing, but it just seems like it moves a little too fast sometimes. That's why Ive realized you must really appreciate the time you spend with people. Some of my very best memories came in the most unexpected times and places. I'm talking about those little bundle of joy memories, that make you want to give the world a hug.

It felt really good to play Saturday morning basketball again, even though I think I have gotten progressively worse. I still have my moments. I heard the ice cream truck today, WOW, that really made me feel like a little kid again. Like I was barefoot, sprinting to my Dad for money to get ice cream (the answer was usually no). I guess not that much has changed, I still ask my Dad for money and its still usually no! That's OK though, he wanted me to earn it, so I could be my own man, which is good for me I guess. Its starting to feel more like summer, little by little. I have a feeling that once I come home sunburned and happy from a Rockies game, summer will have officially set in. I am really trying to make the most of this summer, possibly even better than the summer of George. Can you dig it?

My Uncle once told me that, "If you are a legitimately good person, everything will work out for you". That's what im trying for. Im so glad summer is back, this blog spot is going to get more big hits than Larry Walker in 1997. No more blogging layoffs, I just hope you can keep up! (just like the rest of the Boulder-Bolder vs. Me) There is so much to write about and so little time. If there was ever a time to read my blog, the next few months would probably be it. Huge shout-out to everyone who read this one, I don't think as many people still read, but that's OK, im still going to pour my heart out onto the keyboard. I hope everyone is doing alright out there.

See you very soon!
