movin' on.

in two and a half hours my college graduation will begin. that's pretty absurd. all of the work, my senior thesis, sleepless nights, drunken nights, new people, unparalleled experiences and all-around grand times culminate in today's commencement ceremony. that's a lot to take in because its been a long road. but it's strange how quickly it all moves around you. i distinctly remember the first day of college and moving in in the pouring rain. i honestly don't know if it feels like it was a long time ago or not. i guess it's appropriate that it's pouring today, the day of my graduation. my friend and artist, martin, has a song entitled movin' on and it's one of my favorites...i think the first few bars accurately describe the current point in my life...

i told 'em i was headin' north, i'm following my dream,
i'm doing what i love,m makin' dollars in between,
less worried 'bout the love from the models on the scene,
rather be in the club poppin' bottles with the team,
team tougher than the cuffs on the bottom of my jeans...

as my friend, alan, said to me and so many other people have said in the past, today is the first day of the rest of my life. the possibilities are endless and there are so many roads to follow along side so many other beautiful people at the same point in their journey. it's amazing. exciting. scary. but above all else i thin it's full of promise because i'm confident in myself and the others i run with. we'll all be ok. that gives me so much comfort. i love you all. thank you for being a part of my journey. whether or not you know it you've inspired me in some way. i couldn't ask for more. onwards and upwards...
