I am not the kind of person to bee up someone's ass. I am not the type of person to hang on your every word.

It is disapointing that I am here and you can't stand to be around me.  It seems that it is because I am not those things you wish I was. I am who I am, I believe what I believe. When you are 24 years old you are who you were meant to be. If you can't take it and aren't man enough to face it then it is your loss.

Be careful what you eat!!!

For those of you who don't know, I haven't had the greatest life growing up. I am ok with that. It was another stepping stone. 

There are alot of people in my life who have hurt me in many different ways. I am ok with that too. I believe in forgiveness. Although, I have a hard time forgetting. People always say "to forgive and forget." It is alot easier said than done.

I have always struggled with my past. It always seemed to come back and haunt me. I am done with letting it get to me. I am the person I am because of my past, and I wouldn't change that for anything. What I am changing is looking back to my past to make decisions in my life now in the current time.

I almost see myself shaking the hand of myself in the past saying good bye. This is a huge relief for me. This has been a long time coming.

Here's to the Me of the past....Cheers and farewell old friend.

So, if you haven't read or maybe didn't have your glasses on earlier this week, Jenn and I went to Chicago for about 36 hours. We were both Chi town virgins. We did alot while we were there.

We went the Field Natural History Museum and the Shedd Aquarium the first day. Then we took the double decker bus (I know that screams tourist, haha) and went to the Navy Pier and rode the works second tallest stationary Ferris Wheel in the world. From there we took the double decker to the famous Magnificent Mile and did a little bit of shopping. We walked to the Hard Rock Cafe...Great food by the way. Then we took the newly named Willis Tower ( formerly the Sears Tower) where we went up the the Sky Deck on the 103rd Floor and walked out 4ft over the ledge
Next we took the bus to the  Millenium Park and saw some amazing foutains and structures there in the park. Then sadly we headed back here to Ohio...four hour drive...finally arriving a little before midnight.

I think that Chicago is my favorite city now. They have everything there. They have beaches, lots of parks, bike paths, sports, museums, sub ways....etc. But my favorite thing of them all is the architecture. It was amazing, so many styles and eras of artistry. I can't wait until I can go again, I couldn't soak in enough.

I will hopefully have pictures up soon.

You feel weightless as your feet lift from the ground
             free as the wind swallows you and uses you to stir the air
             exhilarating as you get butterflies in your stomach
             innocent with no care around you
             speechless as you recognize the beauty of the world around you
             yielding to those sitting around you enjoying this simple pleasure
             yearning as the ride begins to slow
             realization as you touch the ground again
