A Day to Remember

i haven't stopped listening to them
i can't stop listening to them
and i won't stop listening to them
they have been my music for this vacation
i haven't listened to them in a long time
they are on my friends ipod and i haven't stopped playing them
my family feels scared when they hear me listening to it
they think it's scary music haha oh well
i love it and i am looking for even more of their older stuff

have faith in me by a day to remember

vacation

family vacation is always something interesting when i go on it.
we have a good time, but there are always times where it gets stressful and just annoying.
so far it hasnt been too bad, but we'll see how the next few days go.
monday i'm going golfing with uncle barry in the morning. we still have to find somewhere to go.
the first place we checked out was $125 a person with a cart.
we're not going there.
we'll see if we can find some place.
i'll keep you updated on everything.
i'm missing my girl lexi, but i'll get to see her in a couple of days!
i can't wait for that.

stay strong.

Summer 2011

This summer has gone way too fast.. I feel like I haven't done anything all summer, but in fact I've done so much.
I'll just do a quick recap of this summer.
This year I was the Outdoor Pool Director at the VMP. Most of you know what the VMP is. It's where every swimmer in Vestal works and has a good time all summer. As the director, I had a lot of fun working with all the newbies that we had, and all the returners.
I haven't been on a vacation all summer but I am starting my vacation this coming Sunday!
I am so excited. I have recently started a new relationship with one of my best friends sisters.
I won't go into names, but if you know me at all, you will know who it is.
We have been together now for about two months and they couldn't have been better.
Having this girl in my life has made my summer the best one I've had in a long time. We worked together all summer.
I also took two summer classes. I took Educational Psychology and an Intro Geography class. They lasted about 4 weeks and were hell. I kind of enjoyed the information in them, but they were so annoying and it was something that I didn't want to do over my summer vacation..
The end of my summer is coming to an end. From now until I move back into school, I have plans and am very busy. I am flying to the Outer Banks Sunday morning. I will be there from Sunday until Thursday afternoon and will be flying back home. The next morning I am leaving with my family to go to Lake George for a couple days. We are all going and Barry and Wendy are going as well. It's going to be a great time. After all this vacation, I am moving into my new house up at school. August 27th to be exact.
Fall semester starts August 29th. Yes, I am looking forward to getting back to school to reunite with all my bro's, but I do not want to go to class! I guess that's how college goes though.
I'll try and keep this updated more and more as we go through school. Sometimes I forget...
I guess I will leave you with this.

"Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Oh! Back to school... back to school... back to school. Well, here goes nothing."

The one and only, Billy Madison.

Watch it if you've never seen it. It's a classic.

Stay Fresh.

End of Sophomore Year???

Well, I made it through my second year of college, barely... But here we are. Today is the last day of classes for the year. I've taken two finals; one in recreation, and one in soccer. This semester has been a good one. I kind of had some problems at the end of the fall semester, but i have gotten myself back on track and plan on keeping it this way. right now, i may be on the way to a five year college plan, but that's really okay with me right now.
this semester has been one of the most successful that i've had so far as a college student. like i said, last fall was a really bad semester. i got back on track this spring and am looking at a potential 2.9-3.0 GPA!! i am really looking forward to that.
the suns out today and it's been out the last four days in a row. what a way to end the spring semester here in cortland. i am so done with school, but still have one more final to take on friday. it's my psychology final and i really need to do well on it. i think i can pull out a good grade and get the grade that i need to get in order to take educational pysch next semester.
don't really have much to say today except, THE SEMESTER's OVER AND I GO HOME IN 3 DAYS!!!!
hopefully i'll be seeing a lot of you around town and at the pool that i'll be in charge of. have a good one everybody.

as bruno mars said,
'today i don't feel like doing anything
i just wanna lay in my bed
don't feel like picking up my phone
so leave a message at the tone.'

love you all.

My Cousin Scott

Yesterday, I found out that my cousin Scotty Milley, was killed in the act of battle. He was deployed this summer over to Afghanistan. He was serving his time and doing what he had wanted to all his life. He was just any soldier in the war. He was my cousin and family.
Losing him is a huge tragedy to our family and to his friends. Scott left so many good memories here with us. There are no words that can describe my cousin that could be said right now. He was an amazing friend, cousin, son, and just everything to everyone that he had ever met.
He touched so many lives including mine. He was always so spirited in everything he did, and if there was one thing he wanted to do, it was serve our country and make us proud. Scott did that for sure, there was no doubting that.
He leaves behind so many dear friends and family here on earth. He looks down upon us and we will someday be with him again. It is hard to believe that my cousin is now gone... It's hard to even think about it. He was one of the funnest, coolest, and most amazing guys i knew, and I will never forget about him.

I love you, man. You will be forever missed...

You weren't just strong, you were ARMY strong. you weren't just a cousin, you were MY cousin. you didn't just fight for your own life, you fought for all of ours. You're a hero to me, and to us all Scootah. I miss you kid...

RIP Scotty Milley

Psalm 91

1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you say, “The LORD is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
