the past week was the most intense of my life. some call it hell, some call it duke soccer camp. in all seriousness, i'm glad i suffered through it. the campus was gorgeous, fun to stay in the dorms, met some awesome people, and obviously the soccer competition really helped my game. somehow i was put in an older age group, so i was amazed by all the die-hard players who eat, breathe, live soccer so that they can get on their college or national team. i don't know if i would want to go through such vigorous training sessions & schedules that would consume all your time & take up all of your energy in such an important time in your life. anyway..
now i'm in a hotel in winston-salem, north carolina. mom & dad flew down after camp was over for a bit of a roadtrip! i absolutely love this whole area, & would really consider it for college (ah!). yesterday we went to the campus @ elon, & wow do i love that school. we're going to check out 2 more on the trip though, which will probably blow me away too.
last night i had some of the best indian food ever, and i can still feel some spice on the tip of my tongue. :)
hope everyone's having a good summer. call me sometime!

last night there was a lot of dancing and a lot of annoying people. but then there was rain, which brought on more dancing with the people i love, in the burger king parking lot :)
a majority of today was spent in saugutuck with my lovely brother, taking pictures of streetlife & flowers, weeping willows, finding the perfect gift for my favorite teacher, and going to the waterfront film festival for the perfect overrated indie film.
probably one of the best feelings ever is sitting at the very front of a boat, so that you have completely blocked the boat and everything on it out of your vision. it feels as though you are soaring over the water and speeding towards the infinite beachfront in front of you, though it will never be in reaching distance.
tonight i learned a lot about friendship. and honesty. and being real with not only yourself, but others. this makes me very good-feeling, so goodnight!

what if you were an aspiring writer. you wanted to be great. but like many out there, you just couldn't cut it, never made it. so, to put your self-acclaimed skills to some use, you spend your life working for an online website like sparknotes - having to settle on re-writing the famous best-sellers that you couldn't write yourself. so, you write a simpler version of these novels, trying to communicate the stories to those who are befuddled by the themes hidden from them, and the words too big for them. but who knows if you even get the fucking purpose. yikes. the future freaks me out.

it is summer. it is michigan. it is hot. it is beautiful. it doesn't get much better.
today has been the fifth consecutive perfect day here. it was the most eventful day in a while. dad & i biked to saugutuck for some bonding & some breakfast. spent the whole day at the beach with faye, cindy, lo, & kristin! such fun. swam across the canal, jumped off the pier, skinnydipping! ah, the adventures of lake michigan! of course, our beautiful beach sunset had to be interrupted by a certain waterballoon fight & stolen shoes. damn.
i like how people remember you & the random things they remember about you. :o) makes me feel..giddy with existence.
so everything's magical & i'm reborn and all that jazz, but still homesick for all my beautiful friends in florida. :-/ bittersweetness.

So, i'm reading the chapter in our history book about WWII and the Holocaust. and it's taking me forever to do - because here i sit, at my desk, typing up the homework for the section, finding the terms A-E, so i can write an answer like "well, it was a period in history when a group of people called the nazis decided to kill...6 million jews." then go on to the next question. meanwhile in my head, im trying to soak up this horrible historical truth, trying to realize the impact of the death of not one innocent individual, but six million. its...just...unbelievable. but what can you do? this time has passed, its history. there is nothing to be done. so, on to the next question. :-/

i love drinking coffee with someone. i mean, you aren't drinking out of thirst or hunger or escape, but because you both enjoy this awakening warmth it gives you. it's so rejuvenating, yet calming. it takes a beautiful morning, and wraps it up in a cozy blanket for you - so you can take it just about anywhere. <3

its funny how i write in this, wanting people to read it - and yet, today someone reads my actual journal & i snap at him. why do we want some thoughts discovered & some to remain secret?
i need a new book. preferably life-changing.

so there's this thing called sleep. and it used to happen every once in awhile. this was back in the day when happiness was never a chore. or a mat that sits on your doorway. hum dee dum.
somehow through the days, i don't give in
i hide the tears that wait within
but through these sleepless nights I cry again

this is the first day of my life.
just kidding. but that does sound appealing, when starting a new journal or something like it. wanting to start over - seek some heartfelt sense of purity & shit.
oh, what an urge to be honest. im going to shut off a switch, leave behind my inner-robot, and indulge in that inner-baby. seize the day, man. kudos to all of the interconnection, and the truths im going to learn to accept, yet not dwell upon. ha, so much for being honest ;o)
anyway, following the advice of mr. van wilder, im going to stop taking everything so seriously. cause, in the end, none of us are getting out of this alive. <3
