back to good

It's been too long - but that's alright.

Things have been very up + down over the past month or two but they're def. down now, mainly due to mistakes that I've made. The most important thing in my life isn't right + that's got everything sort of messed up...but I'm going to fix that regardless of what I have to do.

I'm going to try out not drinking for a month or so + see how that goes. I don't think that I use alcohol as any kind of crutch at all but figure it'll be good to deal w/ everything w/o drinking + get a little different perspective on that kind of stuff. It's just crazy how the majority of social situations that you're involved in during your twenties semi-revolve around alcohol on some level. I'm sure I haven't gone a week w/o drinking since I turned 21 + it's prob been ten years since I went a month w/o having a drink - not that unusual but still interesting. It's almost been two weeks so far + it really isn't that bad at all - although there are sometimes when it'd be really nice to have a drink, esp during a time like this.

quick hits:

- bama gave us a monster scare in tuscaloosa last weekend via UT [thank god for mount cody] - maybe we are the team of destiny...

- the itp strikers finished off the season w/ a big W last night after a surprising turn of events put our destiny back in our own hands - D3 + a match w/ fc raramuri awaits next season

- it was nice to be able to grab a burger w/ josh @ the earl at midnight last night - it'll be cool having dj drive @ the ice house every week

- what's up for halloween? this is one of the best holidays of the year but it doesn't seem like much fun w/o the only person that I want to share it w/

- stay positive + grow as a person - trust in god + everything will work out

roll tide + go phils
