The first days of spring are here, the warm weather and some excercise as well as the love of my friends are bringing me back. Time to sign back online.

Tonight was one of those nights where I didn't want to go to sleep because I didn't want to deal with tomorrow, so I ended up talking to people online until 3am.

I should thank Marshall for pointing this out to me, but my philosophy class made me into someone I didn't want to ( Read more... )

I'm still not sure if I'm going to continue my livejournal, but I've decided for sure that I'm not going to post anymore on the subject of philosophy or my own spirituality. Every time I post I go out and learn or realize something new. While my previous posts do have truth to them, they also contain misunderstandings and half truths. Also I ( Read more... )
