Words, Words, Words

It has been quite awhile since my last update, as I was out of the country for awhile and also celebrating the fact that I got into college, but today, on the first day of 2007, I figured I would take just a moment to reflect a bit on 2006

i think we all have a problem of not thinking before we say something. It embaresses everyone but also the first thing to come out someone's mouth is usually what they are really thinking. So the way I see it, one of the only reasons we wish to think before we speak is to make ourselves look better, and not give off a bad impression of ourselves. Whenever im with friends, as you well now, i dont think before i talk, because even if i had, i would've said what was on my mind anyways. I think some people are unsure of their opinions, and i think thats something that really needs to be fixed to survive nowadays. I'll admit, i totally change when talking to someone that i feel like i need to be formal with like a teacher etc. I realize that another reason we think before we talk is so we are able to get across what we really mean and not to confuse the other person, but i still think that people tend not to speak their mind so they wont be at odds with someone else. In the end, i do encourage everyone to think before they speak

be more social raj. Make an attempt to get to know people even if you didn't like them before. To judge is not to know it is to condemn. However, you are not just condemning them to a place of disdain in your mind but also condemning yourself to a loss of a learning opportunity. Even if these people don't become your best friend, you can take information or mistakes they make and learn yourself. It's all about improving you and becoming a better person.

Just be more social dude and don't stress so much about grades and tennis and being the best in everything. Have some fun, ease up, get loose.

I can't say that 2006 was a banner year for me. I can't say it was an epic waste of time either. It was, however, a year I can look back on now and truly say I have no regrets. I feel good about what I did, when I did it, how I did it and who I did it with. I've always believed that if you can do that, you've done yourself a service.

I mean it's 2007. I've been looking forward to my graudation year since I learned how to count the years I had until that point. The senior project looks good. I couldn't ask for more friends and people that care about me. It's a good time to be us I think.

As far as my resolutions are concerned, I would like to keep looking in me for things I can change. Also, I would like to take more risks. I'll go out on a limb. I have yet to put myself out there emotionally to this point and I feel like I need to. However, the main thing I want to do is just enjoy myself and get wild.

BAWWLLLIN!

You know, words have power. If we put enough force and soul and being into them, their truth becomes our reality. I know this better than many, having experienced it firsthand.

My New Years Resolution is to become a decent person (as far as that may be possible) and to be a better friend, by not letting my feelings get in the way. Then, perhaps, redemption will begin. I can only strive, and hope.

yeah i guess i could be more social lol, i am pretty judging i admit and ive noticed it more about myself as the weeks have passed. I think that i am pretty accepting of a lot of different people but i do go judge, and after making a few new friends ive learned that my judgements can be wrong sometimes. I never judge along racial lines or stuff like that, but more of whether a person is all about partying or about being nice or about material things etc. I just get turned off really easily by sumone sumtimes and i think from there it takes a lot of effort for me to like them again. but im trying to change that and hopefully it all works out, and i try to ease up and shit all the time, but i just got a lot of shit to do. I mean in spare time i try to keep my trumpet up, and atleast keep my body in sum athletic form, and volunteer at the rescue squad or go shadow at the hospitals. I am looking foward to sum break, which wasnt winter break lol, that i can let loose of a lot of stress, so i guess that is what my goal should be for

sorry this didn’t get to you sooner, but considering previous circumstances..... well it's getting to you now. nice entry niraj nicely said....words, it seems that words can be jumbled and misinterpreted... people say things they don’t mean or even things they mean but don't want to say...
my new years resolution:
live and let live don’t dwell on the small stuff...
sincerely,
