Vets

My dad eyes tell stories that I do not understand. Many times I have no idea what is going on in his head. Stories I am afraid of even asking. He once told me that if you ever see or hear what I have heard then you become different. You eyes go cold, your heart becomes stone, many things at home you forget. You understand how to fight but you lose how to be a person. It is scary feeling knowing that the next time you leave may be the last time people see you alive. I can't ever understand unless I do what my father does. Thank you dad for doing things I would never imagine having to do.

Sleep

So for sure one thing I love to do is sleep and here lately I haven't been able to sleep. I really wish I could sleep at night when I would like to.

Spring

Spring makes me think of things to come like summer......college......baseball....just different things and people i can see. The traveling that i will have to do.....people i remember from the last year....just alot of things that make me smile pretty much

Firefighter

I once thought of a quote by a firefighter

"How can you run into a burning building when everyone is running out,"asked one man.

The firefighter simply said.....its my job and its my duty to save someone on the floor if needed....but how i do it is courage because i hope someone would do it for me.

Walking with a Friend

It has been 4 years since I've last seen my friend alive. He died in a car accident. A drunk driver forced him and his brother off the road. I watched his car slam into the tree. We had just gotten home from a soccer game. He played on my team before i moved here to Owensboro. I was watching them leave and it wasn't a mile down the road until I saw them drill the tree. I still remember that day extremely well. I guess somethings with time don't fade away. My game tonight will only fade with time.

Flame

You think id some how figure out

That if you strike the match

You're bound to fine the flame

You think I'd learn my Lesson by now

Somehow figure out

That if i walk away that i may never come back

That i may leave this town for all to see

You think I'd learn my lesson by now

Some how figure out

That my time to leave is finally here

My Fathers Words

My father's wisdom sometimes catches me off guard. Many time its whenever I hear the "It will make you a better person" speech. It is good to hear sometimes but it gets old. He caught me off guard though the other day. I'm just getting done with a soccer game in which I didn't play a lot because of cramps but he told me, " Son, it doesn't matter that you don't play sometimes it matters more and you get more respect if you just try to. People know your hurt not just thinking your lazy." Thanks Dad it helped me.

Walking Around Thoughts

Just thinking about things around me. What makes everyone so different but yet so much a like. Its funny we all want to be different but in that way it makes us the same. So what does make us different is what we change about ourselves every day. I believe that is what changes us.

The way of life

So this summer was full of trips. From Missouri basketball and baseball camps, to Hawaii for basketball, to vacation in Disney World, to Kansas for a baseball camp......my life has been busy but now with school everything is slowing down. Sports are now starting one at a time.
