That's Why Fireflies Flash

I'm tired of the highs and the lows, but the sun both sets and rises.

Moving to Baltimore in a month.

Expect(ations)

I don't know if this is going to make any sense to anyone else, but it's hard to explain...

There are expectations, and then there are things you expect. An expectation can be something that you don't necessarily expect. Expectations are more uncertain.

Detroit Sports City

Want an argument that Detroit is the best sports city in America? Well, here's a few reasons...

Pistons are again in the Eastern Conference Finals (won 94-75 last night). Wings are up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Finals after shutting out the Penguins for the second straight time (3-0 last night). The Tigers sold out a 19-3 victory on the same night as the Wings and Pistons were playing at home. And well, the Lions still sell out games, which is saying a lot...haha.

Also, I like the random game notes from ESPN's recap of the Pistons game last night...

Allen learned how to sign "NBA Basketball is Fantastic" in American Sign Language before the game as teammate P.J. Brown ate a PBJ sandwich.

Congratulations PJ.

New Proverb

The harder you fall, the harder you fall.

A New Record!

Sadly :( I paid $3.89 for gas today, for a total of $42.97 to fill up. Shattered it. That's a solid 32 cents per gallon more than I paid 12 days ago. 12 DAYS ago!

Escape

I went out for my first run since Big Sur today - a nice easy 2.5 miles, which actually turned out to be a little faster than I wanted to go (9:02 pace), but oh well. It wasn't as satisfying as I thought it would be, but it was nice to have my means of escape back.

Speaking of escaping...I want to go on some random exciting adventure. Who's with me?

It's True

Some of the best things life are free.

Hanging out with your friends.
Spending time with your family.
Smiling.
Making someone smile.
The first kiss.
Sleep.
Singing.
Watching a sunset on a beautiful day.
A beautiful girl falling asleep in your arms.

Unfortunate Skill?

I'm really good at seeing who likes who. Unfortunately it's often someone else who likes the girl I like. I need to stop that...

It reminds me of JD in Scrubs. "Hi, I'm a doctor who is afraid of sick people. Want to take a picture with me?"

You are the Sun

You are the flowers and the warm spring breeze. You are all that has kept me sane and smiling for the past two months. I care only that those lips curve upwards, but if a day comes where you want to know me, I will gladly show you without hesitation. Know that my heart does not change direction easily and that it will be hard to see your beauty shining in a different light. I will give a little more space, but I refuse to leave. I promised myself I wouldn't let you go easily and I keep my promises. I understand the situation. There are so many things I have to say and I pray that I will be around and have that chance one day.

If I bring you a yellow rose every day of your life, would it be enough at least to make you smile?

Sometimes It's You

And sometimes...well, sometimes I guess it just sucks (or you're just unlucky).

On the other end of the spectrum, I'll be going down to the Baltimore area on the 19th for a very promising interview with Northrop Grumman.
