...5 months and not one fight.

I have to admit, I think we're doing pretty good. Sure, we've had some slight issues, but they've simply been talked through. Typical stuff. But you see all these other couples fight and take breaks from each other for days, throw words of hate towards each other. Talk shit and ignore each other's texts, or when they see each other in the hallways. Sure, they may end up together again a week later, but the fact that they were so annoyed and bothered of one another that it got to the point where they just couldn't stand each other..that's still something to acknowledge.

It might happen to the best of couples, but something has to go wrong for it to happen. No relationship is perfect, but then again, it's important to acknowledge the difference between a real "fight" and simply putting up with someone's shit, and then fighting because of it. Differences or misunderstandings make a fight. Immaturity, tantrums, mood swings..that's a different type of fight that no one should have to put up with in a relationship. And I see it a bit too often, especially at school.

I'm glad it's never gotten to that point. And I hope it stays that way. I don't want a break from her, or a week that I don't see or talk to her. I see her everyday. More than some engaged couples we know. Shit, we might even be better off engaged than some other people we know. We could basically live with each other and I'm sure nothing would change for the worse between us. I'm constantly happy when I'm with her. Isn't that the way it should be? I think so.

So today I saw,

A friend i haven't seen since 8th grade, suicidal frogs, a one-eyed fish, a paralyzed reptile, hamsters that fought like they were trying out for UFC, and a pussy I now call Mookie.

INTERESTING!

I never write in this thing. I should more often. Hm, oh well.

Anyways life's been very interesting as of late. I'm learning new things about people that I would have never imagined. I wish I could write it all in detail, but honestly, it's far from the best idea to do that. Let's just say it's sort of put a new spin and perspective on my own life and the importance of the people close to me.

Besides all this learning, finals are about to come up. They're going to be really easy..this semester has sort of been a joke for me. Even though i've been in school, these past months have honestly taught me nothing academically.  I'm excited for the change -- even though my classes will easily be 10x harder than they currently are. Maybe i'll actually learn, meet new friends, have classes with old ones, or have a badass teacher. Who knows?!

I've been writing something as of late. It's emotional and heartfelt for me, and i'm not sure how or when I want to present it, but I will when the time is right.

Oh yeah, there's a long weekend coming up! Although my plans of a day or two in Orlando were basically shattered because of some parents, I still plan on doing something interesting. Variety is the spice of life! It's good to get out of town every now and then, and i'm seriously overdue. Sorry Miramar, but you get boring rather quickly.

I'll try to write on this thing more often. For the two or three of you that read this :)

so here i am, half asleep, about to half-ass my first journal entry. yay!

i'm listening to "why can't we be friends" by smashmouth (i heard it in a commercial just now and decided to youtube it) i used to love them. especially their song "all star". good shit. my music taste has changed a lot with time. when i first got into music, i just absorbed everything. i loved commercial music..eminem, linkin park, limp bizkit. i got into techno when my brother always used to listen to it in new york. i remember jamming out to "zombie nation" by kernkraft 400 in front of that bank next to the walbaums on cross bay boulevard. hah. then i became a complete hip hop head. i still love it. then i picked up the guitar when i saw my best friend's sister play. i asked her to borrow her old guitar and she let me keep it [well i gave it back eventually, but i had it forever]. i still remember that guitar. a beat up, starter's classical guitar. i never changed the strings. there was so much grease on them, that my hands would get dirty after a minute of playing. woo. i still remember learning the "gladiator" theme song as my first real song, and then "what i got" by sublime as my first-chord based song on that thing. two years later and now i'm trying to learn the entire Rust In Peace album by Megadeth..i can't even imagine how many hours i've put into the instrument at this point..pretty crazy if you think about it.

because of guitar i got into blues music..and then METAL \m/. now i'm just one big sweaty, orgy of music. i'll probably end up loving country in a couple of months at my rate of spontaneity.

so, i'm on webcam with amanda now. i hear what she's listening to. good thing she has good great taste in music! i don't even need to turn on my music player. i'll just listen to whatever she listens to. too bad it's not the other way around. she goes crazy after about 5 minutes of the "ghetto shit" on my ipod =] hehe.

tomorrow's gonna be two months that we're together. i'm so glad that we worked out. amanda is an amazing person. i would have never guessed that i would end up being with her when i first met her at lunch last year. it's definitely been a bumpy road to get where we've gotten, but it's safe to say that i'm truly, truly happy with where we are now. here's to two months, and many many more love!

goodnight world.
