The Revival.

They locked the devil in the basement, threw God up into the air.

In conclusion,

I hate high school. It should have ended last year for me. I feel gross when I go there because there are people that still believe that art is important. They have no serious plans, ambition, or signs of being successful. There are only probably a handful, five at the best, who I would give any sort of support for their future.

To those that disagree, those that say “success is just being happy”, you can all suck a dick. Success is having a passion and being able to provide for those that you care about. Doing “what makes you happy” is a very selfish act and is by no means a measure of success.

I cannot wait for UCF. A lot of people look down on it, but I got into FSU. It’s not that hard. Any school in Florida is looked down on by the rest of the country, and an undergraduate degree is to a high school degree several years ago. So I think of my first four years of college as more like the high school I was promised but never got. I am going to party, and enjoy just being who I am. Sure, I’ll always have a passion for learning. But God damn people, now is not the time to not give a shit.

My Year in Review,

  • It started with me waking up with Nicky by my side. I called her the Baconator.
  • We went to an art museum and it was really cute.
  • Then I broke up with her because she lives forever away.
  • Then I started watching Jersey Shore and got closer with Eric and Piper.
  • Then I lost Zoe to Melissa, what a bitch.
  • Then I started getting close with Eric and Piper.
  • Then I kissed Adriana. Then I dated Adriana. Then we went to prom…it’s the experience that matters.
  • Then we broke up. Then it was summer, which I vaugely remember.
  • I think I remember going to a lot of parties, and hanging out with Eric and Piper a lot.
  • Oh yeah, the seniors graduated earlier and they all acted like it was a big deal.
  • Sofie also got into FSU and she acted like that was a big deal. Enjoy foreclosing any bit of an identity you had left to a mirror of your parents. Yuck.
  • Anyway, school started and I was closer to David.
  • Then I dual enrolled and totally separated from everyone.
  • Started dating Paula. Then she cheated on me with Jayson. I don’t have a grudge against him, but I think people that still hangout with him are douche bags. Aka Lane, Nikkii, and Marc.
  • Then, Zoe came back and Melissa still acted retarded.
  • Then I got a job at Levi’s. Then I quit because I got offered a job at the Village Inn.
  • On average, I make 15 dollars an hour and work 5 days a week. Hellll yeaaahhh$$$$
  • Then, I helped get Piper a job at the Village Inn. It’s funny when we’re the only two working there. We run that shit.
  • Then, I started enjoying being single and I’ve been saving my money.
  • I’ll probably start spending it in college.

Gym.

I have a long way to go lol
But only good things can come out of having a gym membership :)

On sleep.

To fall in total surrender to the comfort of some misty lace? Ye, to fall forever entangled by a constant augmentation of the cognitive experience being stretched and destroyed. Like the breathing of our universe, the pulse of all that has ever been. The projection of all that ever will be, into a dark and hallow place.

To lay dormant and unaware of the ignition of a forest fire, the high-speed engulfment of information. To be forever comforted by the cold waves of cotton sheets and golden grains of pouring tranquility.

To dream, as lovers dream, of a ceremony and meadow peace.
To die, as soldiers die, in a field that never ceased.

On art.
No work of art better depicts the beauty of learning as the never-ending derivative between man and the heavens as that of The Creation of Adam by Michelangelo. Completed in 1511, this monumental section of the Sistine Chapel ceiling depicts the Biblical story from the Book of Genesis where God the Father breathes life into Adam.
As our efforts to achieve the heavens will never be actualized, we must marvel at the beauty of human progress and our attempts to reach new heights. The beauty behind this imperfection is that there will always be someone that is better skilled and therefore has something to teach. There will always be a more absolute truth, a more precise approximation. Like the powerful irrational number that will ramble on forever unpredictably and soar into the heavens, the pursuit of beauty is a rich challenge that indulges on the meaning of life.
Michaelangelo’s ceiling has inspired me as I will always seek self-improvement. I have never been fully satisfied with my work because I aim to constantly extend it. There will always be other lives that I will try to impact, other nations that I will try to connect with, and greater heights to achieve.
