Half our time is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.
- Will Rogers

i love reminiscing. it's as simple as that. i think back on all the memories that make up my past, and i can't help but smile at all of the many blessings God has provided me.

this is the mushy, teary-eyed portion of my blog post, so if you don't like this stuff, skip ahead to the next paragraph. heh j/k, im not actually crying or anything, but today marks the date of my brother's 15th birthday, and it is really bringing alot of memories back to mind. at times, i still can't believe that im in college. it all passed by too fast. it seems like just yesterday when i would have to take my brother and sister here and there. hard to believe, but now i think i actually miss that. it's weird seeing friends that i used to see everyday last year only once or twice a month now. it's even stranger not seeing my parents everyday; i guess back at home, it's just something i always took for granted. now that im up here, no longer can i just step outside whenever i felt the urge to shoot a couple of hoops with jason. i miss being able to block all of his shots and steal the ball from him whenever i wanted to. now each time i return home, i find out he's even been stealing some of my basketball moves on the court. now what's up with that? =P

time is such a tricky thing. quoting a great mind, "time.. is a funny thing..so much of it...but so little at the same time." man, how true. there are days where time just seems to drag by, and yet, there are also days where it seems 24 hours is nowhere near enough time.

speaking of not having enough time, i gotta go study some sociology.

happy birthday jason!
