"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Tis the Season


Christmas was great, good family time reminiscing over past Christmases and family stories. Ended the night watching Harry Potter with the family. All in all a classic Christmas, surprisingly including snow perfectly falling during the meal. Can't wait to be back at Auburn, being home is great I'm absolutely loving seeing all of my friends and not having school work but at the same time it stinks not being able to stay out with all my friends at night because of the midnight curfew. It's strange seeing how everyone's relationships are changing too, one semester of college will change a person more than a year or more of high school.

Avatar

Just got back from the movies, it's late, I'm exhausted, but this movie was so dang good i had to write about it. The technology and special effects and 3D was years ahead of ANY other movie out. The story was powerful, beautiful, and incredible. Ten out of five stars. Best Film of 2009, I'm calling it right now.

Let's get cracking...


Had to start this at some point or another. Christmas time is here and along with family, cold, and stress. Uncle H. flew in today, his plane was delayed by the second biggest snow storm in Philadelphia's history, but tonight we are going to FINALLY see Avatar! Can't wait! Missed out decorating the tree today with Peaches and Twitch, but no worries Huntsville, we'll just do double duty on it tomorrow night! It's great being home but I absolutely can not wait to be back on the plains again! I miss my Auburn family as well as the freedom that comes with not living at home. Cough, cough, midnight curfew... But it is nice being home. I also can not wait to be able to prove my worth to EVERYONE doubting me about my classes next semester. I KNOW I did not do so hot first semester, but also I now know what to expect and have more free time on my hands and am beyond ready to prove this to all who doubt me! A little faith in me would be nice. One of the best parts about being home is being able to sing again, I'll drive around Huntsville at night with old HHS friends and belt like i haven't been able to since college began.
Tabula Rasa.
