Surreal



As I was sitting here at Starbucks trying to study anatomy after not touching the material for a while, it just hit me how fast time has flown by.

I’m 23, soon to be 24 in a couple of months.  I’ve made many new friends, lost contact with some old friends, but fortunately maintaining strong healthy friendships with many of the friends I’ve grown up with (shout out to my 5 1 0 home boys).  I’ve made more mistakes than I can count, but also accomplished much more than I ever thought I would, all thanks and glory to God.  

I never imagined myself being in this position.  UCSD Alumni with a bachelors studying in advance for a course I have yet to take because of horror stories I’ve heard from other students.  Time has flown by in my relationship with my brother as well, whom I’ve been able to see fall numerous times, pick himself up, grow up and mature, and just develop into this awesome, loving son, brother, fiance, and soon to be husband.  It’s pretty weird to say all that being the younger brother, haha, but it’s true.

There’s so much that has happened in these past 23 years.  So many more loved ones of my loved ones who have passed than I ever thought I would see.  Rest in peace to everyone who’s passed, and know that your friends and family will never forget you

I’m just procrastinating from studying anatomy which I will have to inevitably take in about 3 weeks.  So I’ll end this note here.  Within the next 3 weeks:

1.  My brother will be married and I will have an older sister that I’ve always wanted. (7/30)

2.  It’ll be Stacy’s and my 1 year anniversary (8/02)

3.  I’ll begin my dental program at Western University of Health Sciences (8/02).

Life, right now, is so surreal.  It’s amazing and unbelievable how much God has blessed me and how far He’s carried me.  It’s even more amazing and unbelievable knowing that with God, the sky isn’t even the limit to what He can do: there is no limit.

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you… we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

“I get angry at racists for the wrong reasons. Sorry, but I’m not a chink. If you’re gonna be racist, at least use the proper term.”

“Why is it when there’s a mob of people trying to get through doors, they open only one of the doors? I see this all the time. Are you fucking stupid? Why doesn’t anyone ever open the other door?”
