I just purchased a shirt online from this great t-shirt company Threadless. I think it fits me perfectly… (ha. pun)
Go to Threadless and buy yourself a fun t-shirt! If you use the links I’ve given in this post and purchase something, I get $3.00 off my next order!
Here are some previous shirts that I’ve purchased from Threadless
Enjoy.
EDIT: So, I don’t know who it was, but someone has already used my link to buy a shirt! That’s $3 buckeroos off my next order! Whoever you are, thanks!

She’s the bomb. I love her. This is an old photo, but it gets the job done.
Love ya, Amber!
Okay, I don’t know how much longer I’m going to do the whole posting my title in brackets thing. Probably til the end of the month…
With business aside, let’s get down to the heart of the matter. Over the last several days, I’ve realized that I’ve done what I kinda vowed not to do: Let the events that have happened to my friend affect me and my relationship with God and with other people.
Since last week, I’ve fallen flat on my face into sin, hurting God and other people. I’ve kinda withdrawn myself emotionally, putting up a barrier between me and my friends. I’ve lost some of the joy and zeal that I normally have. I’ve let tiredness become an excuse for most things.
Lately, I’ve been hearing people say, “Hindsight is 20/20″ and it’s very true. I see the mistakes I’ve made this past week, and I’m going to work hard to spot when I start doing them and quit it right then and there.
Thus, If I have hung out with you over the last week and I haven’t been myself or I don’t seem to be giving myself fully to the company, I am deeply sorry and apologize. It’s not in my nature to be withdrawn or constantly ‘tired’. I hate that junk. So for that, I ask forgiveness.
I’m ready to go back to being filled with energy and joy. I like that a lot better than this sad and depressing state I’ve been in the last two weeks or so.
With that being said, I was watching the news tonight after American Idol on FOX and there was a segment on this Cal State Fullerton senior who has been living out of his truck for almost the last two years. My friend Emily was telling me about people she knows at USC who live out of their cars during the semester while taking care of all their hygienic needs at the university’s gym. Anyway, the guy keeps a blog and it’s a pretty interesting read. Already in the first half an hour of the segment getting air on FOX, he’s received almost twenty comments on his blog entry for today. Check out his musings on what it’s like to live in your car at www.gotruckyourself.blogspot.com. Tomorrow he’s doing an interview for national television. He also was contacted by some of the press in France. Crazy.
Alrighty, not much else to say I suppose. I saw Wicked on Sunday night at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood with my mom. It was my gift to her for Christmas. I must say, it was absolutely outstanding. The vocal performances were right on and I was just blown away by the set design. Good show.
That’s it for me tonight, I’m trying to keep the posts a little cohesive. I have more to write about, but I’ll save it for tomorrow. Tonight was fun. More on that later.

I drop by his place tonight. He’s in his room so I hang with his roommates for a bit watching V for Vendetta. He comes out, says hi to me, gives me a hug, and grabs a drink of water. As he retreats back into his room, he waves at me and says,
“Cy, I’m saying goodbye for now. I probably won’t be seeing you for a while.”
I get up and give him another hug.
Well, he’s moving. Most likely at the end of the month. I’ll be sad for a little bit, but the joy from knowing he’s taking care of himself and getting better overwhelms any sorrow I can feel. I see this as a new chapter in his life and my own. A chance to end one story and begin another. I wish the best for him and hope he keeps his smile.
Sometimes clichés are great: If you love something, you’ll let it go.
I love you, man. Take care of yourself. Get better.
I exit my English to find this scene in front of me. I notice it almost immediately, make a comment in my head, and walk past it. I stop dead in my tracks and decide that I need to take a picture of this. I backtrack and as nonchalantly as I possibly can, grab a snapshot with my phone.
For the sake of humor and drawing attention away from things too serious, please caption this set of photos:
