beaming.

First post of the new decade. How...exciting.

The past two weeks have been crazy. Feels like it's been over a month since I got back from JH retreat. Time doesn't seem like it wants to move at it's usual pace. Guess that's a good thing since it's break, but I'd like to fast-forward the next year and a half. I miss being able to CHEW. My goodness who knew something so simple could be so valuable in life. I miss solid food. Enough of this soft, easy-to-swallow crap. I need a damn steak.

So yesterday, I was talking with a friend for about 1-2 hours while waiting for other people to meet us up. Who knew guys could have "guy talks" for that long? Anyways, we were just talking catching up on life and of course, girls. (I am keeping my promise on devoting my blog to be about girls.) He's in the awkward stage right now with this girl and I totally knew what he was talking about when he explained to me his situation. Let's get this out of the way, girls know how to play games. I mean us guys know how to play as well don't get me wrong. Simple things such as texting can be a damn game. Various scenarios such as where the guy will send a simple text, the girl will reply with a, long, detailed, cute message. Now, that would get ANY guy excited if it was a girl he had interest in and would most likely text back immediately. Little do some guys know that it's a trap. My friend fell for this trap. He texted her back with a long, detailed, fun message and for the rest of the night, a virgin got more action than his phone in his jean pocket.

What's a guy to do in situations like this? Play it cool that's what. To make yourself feel better, think of the scenarios she could've been in: Phone dying, no reception, text message fail, etc. Life isn't over as well as your chance with that girl. Unless these kinds of situations keep recurring, you have little to worry about. Some girls are easy to read, some girls aren't. Some girls make you work for their attention, some girls are amused by a squirrel. It's a vast universe with millions of stars out there and we're discovering new stars each day. Something so small in the sky, can become something big when you start getting closer to it.

I see a small star at the moment. I don't know how big it will be or if I want to start moving in it's direction...but one thing I do know, is that that little star probably has another little star friend next to it. "Daddy's home." I'll leave that for another day and another post. I'll finish with my favorite song at the moment.

Lupe Fiasco - I'm Beaming.

"I get my energy from my inner G

I be in outer space, but I got inner peace.

So tell my enemies that they can't injure me

I know that irritates, you have my sympathies.

Well, you should protest, yeah, you should picket me

I'm on a losing strike, I'm on a winning streak.

I'm out in left field, I'm speakin' mentally

But that's a better place than where the benches be."
