Lose One Friend, Lose All Friends, Lose Yourself

Growing up, one of my all time favorite shows was "Boy Meets World." Recently, I've been watching reruns of the last season on the Disney Channel late at night. Looking back at these old episodes, I've realized that I've been trying to model my life around the Corey mold. Although I have yet to find my Topanga, this past year at college, I did find my Shawn, coincidentally, also named Shawn. I had always wanted a best friend that I could count on above all others and I would have no problem spending all my time with. Another aspect of Corey's life that I incorporated into my life is his sheer number of friends. In the final season there are seven main young characters that are all friends. During my time at the radio station, I composed a staff for a little show called Snob-Rock Live! I put six of my closest friends on this staff, and including me, that's seven people. In the back of my mind, other then creating a good show, I always wanted all of these people to be friends with each other, and because they were all already my friends, we could hang out together and have the whole group friend thing goin' on. We have all bonded because of the show and I like to think that they are all life-long friends to me, but things happen, people graduate, and people move away. I've become really scared recently, because I don't want to lose these people, and most importantly, I don't want to lose my Shawn, who is moving to Florida to follow his dreams. I can't tell him I don't want him to go, because I think he kinda needs to do this, but I can't express how much I'm going to miss him, and the rest of my friends that are moving on with their lives. Let me tell ya', college sucks! You meet people that mean more to you then anybody you've ever met before, but when they graduate, unlike high school, they pretty much have to enter into "real life." If any of you are reading this, I love you all so much, I hope the best for you, and I wanna thank you for allowing me to make my "Boy Meets World" life a reality, even if it was just for one year. I just hope I can keep track of who I am, with all these friends leaving, because like Eric Matthews said in one of the last episodes, "Lose One Friend, Lose All Friends, Lose Yourself." Hopefully, I can stay in touch with all these people and I won't have to "lose" any friends. Later Days.

Training

So as I've told you all, I'm planning on breaking the world record for Marathon DJing in a few months time. Since its the summer and all, I've started my training for it. Which means, I've been staying up for long periods of time. This has had side-effects. I have royally screwed up my sleeping pattern, like worse then it has ever been. I got home from work at about 7:00 PM last night, I was really tired, so I went to bed, then I woke up at 1:00 AM, completely rested, WTF?!? This is insane, I've stayed up all night, because I was not at all tired. I hope this doesn't happen regularly. Oh well, I guess this is the price of fame. Later Days.
