Twitter

So I've decided to check out Twitter for the first time and I'm still evaluating it. I'm optimistic like I was with Blogger.com but I'm trying to be a bit more cautious with it cause I'm not totally seeing the reason for live updates instantly. Maybe I'll end up really liking it. We'll see.

So it's 2:21am in central time. I'm sitting by the pool at my fraternity brother, Dylan's house enjoying a nice cool breeze (for Texas) staring at probably one of the brightest moons I've ever seen. It's a beautiful clear night. I can't imagine a more perfect experience. It's so soothing right now my nerves would just melt away if that was a problem.

I'm so excited for Dylan and my best friend April getting married Saturday night. I couldn't be happier for both of them. It tells me that i shouldn't worry about my lack of relationships because my time will come in due time. And you never know where true love will find you in life at the moment it hits you. It's crazy how situations play out right in front of your eyes and can develop into wonderful things. I'm glad they've found happiness. I hope to someday find that happiness for myself. I believe it will happen when i least expect it too. I do believe life and joy happen best when you aren't looking for it. I know that special someone is out there for me. I just hope I recognize it before it's too late.

One thing I take great pride in knowing is that if it wasn't for me, this whole wedding, relationship, experience would not have been possible. It makes me feel warm inside knowing that. Kind of tingles, I will admit.

Anyway, I gotta get some sleep before the long day ahead of us all. But before I end this I want to get some things out and written down.

Dylan, you are one of the most interesting people I've ever met. I've always been intrigued by your views of the world and your take on life. You've helped me see things differently than what I grew up knowing and by doing so have truly been a breath of fresh air. As a brother I can honestly say you will always have my back in good times and in times of need. That's not something I've felt much of growing up. I love you for that among many more reasons and I will always have your back. You respect me and support me and always make me feel appreciated. A true brother. I'm so happy to call you my "brah".

April, I love you so much. I'm so happy for you and proud to consider you my best friend. You've truly been a blessing to me in what I feel has been an awkward time in my life. I expect us to have a long and enduring friendship for the rest of our lives. You are one of the few people I can't imagine not being a staple in my life to turn to. Your sanity and insanity, friendship, caring shoulder to lean on in times of need, ability to brighten my day and support are not taken for granted. You're the sister I wish I could have grown up with.
