Know that loosing can only make your better and show you how much you really have to learn.<br /><br />Take naps, eat fast food, listen to music, go to the beach, party.<br /><br />Love.<br /><br />Do one thing everyday that scares you.<br /><br />Meet as many people as possible, you can only learn from them. Make sure you listen.<br /><br />Take care of your body, its yours and the only one youll ever get. Use it every way you can, dont be afraid of it or what other people think of it.<br /><br />Follow directions, but make them your own. <br /><br />Dont be afraid of the future, be confident in yourself, you will survive and only be stronger.<br /><br />Climb a mountain, go barefoot, watch both sunsets and sunrises. Be able to laugh at yourself. <br /><br />Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyles because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.<br /><br />Travel. <br /><br />Mabey youll marry, mabey you wont, mabey youll have children, mabey you wont, mabey youll divorce at 40, mabey youll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary-whatever you do dont congradulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either, your choices are half chance-so are everybody elses. <br /><br />Get to know your parents, you never know when they may be gone for good.<br /><br />Respect.<br /><br />Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth. <br /><br />Live in the moment. Dont worry about todays burdens, but rather the regrets youll have tomorrow of how you wish you had done it differently today.<br /><br />Live. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:62200 2005-11-19T23:05:46Z 2005-11-19T23:05:46Z If you had a bank that credited your account each morning with $86,400.00 that carried over no balance from day to day and allowed you to keep no cash in your account and every evening cancelled whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day, what would you do? Draw out every cent of course! Well, you have such a bank, and its name is Time. Every morning it credits your account with 86,400 seconds. Every night it rules off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to no good purpose. It carries over no balances. It allows no overdrafts. Each day it opens a new account with you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the days deposits the loss is yours. There is no going back. There is no drawing against the tomorrow. You must live in the present- on todays deposits. Invest it so as to get from the utmost in health, happiness, and success. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:61909 2005-10-22T19:35:14Z 2005-10-22T19:35:14Z <table width="400" align="center" border="1" bordercolor="black" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> <tr><td bgcolor="#66CCFF" align="center"><br /><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="color:black; font-size: 14pt;"><br />You Know You Drink Too Much When...</font></td></tr> <tr><td align="left" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><br /><font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif" style="color:black; font-size: 10pt;"><br />Your doctor finds traces of blood in your alcohol stream.<br /><br />The back of your head keeps getting hit by the toilet seat.<br /><br />The parking lot seems to have moved while you were in the bar<br /><br />When you go to donate blood and they ask what proof?<br /><br />You think the Four Basic Food Groups are Caffeine, Nicotine, Alcohol, and Hotties.<br /><br />You have a "happy hour" at home<br /><br />When you are sober, people ask you what's wrong?<br /><br />You spend all night making a board game called Alcohol Land<br /><br />Although you drove home the other night you can't remember how you got home or where you parked your car<br /> <br />"Hi ocifer.

The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by <br />scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable <br />than my own meandering <br />experience…I will dispense this advice now. <br /><br />Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not <br />understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. <br />But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and <br />recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before <br />you and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you <br />imagine. <br /><br />Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as <br />effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing <br />bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that <br />never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm <br />on some idle Tuesday. <br /><br />Do one thing everyday that scares you <br /><br />Sing <br /><br />Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with <br />people who are reckless with yours. <br /><br />Floss <br /><br />Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes <br />you’re behind…the race is long, and in the end, it’s only with <br />yourself. <br /><br />Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you <br />succeed in doing this, tell me how. <br /><br />Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. <br /><br />Stretch <br /><br />Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your <br />life…the most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they <br />wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year <br />olds I know still don’t. <br /><br />Get plenty of calcium. <br /><br />Be kind to your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone. <br /><br />Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe <br />you won’t, maybe you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky <br />chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary…what ever you do, don’t <br />congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either – your <br />choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. Enjoy your body, <br />use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people <br />think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever <br />own.. <br /><br />Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. <br /><br />Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. <br /><br />Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly. <br /><br />Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be gone for <br />good. <br /><br />Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the <br />people most likely to stick with you in the future. <br /><br />Understand that friends come and go,but for the precious few you <br />should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and <br />lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you <br />knew when you were young. <br /><br />Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live <br />in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. <br /><br />Travel. <br /><br />Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will <br />philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasize <br />that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were <br />noble and children respected their elders. <br /><br />Respect your elders. <br /><br />Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, <br />maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one <br />might run out. <br /><br />Don’t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will <br />look 85. <br /><br />Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who <br />supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of <br />fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the <br />ugly parts and recycling it for more than <br />it’s worth. <br /><br />But trust me on the sunscreen… urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:57924 2005-07-21T15:42:31Z 2005-07-21T15:42:31Z well i just got back yesterday from family vacation- virginia, north and south carolina and georgia- none of which have a lifeguard on duty at the gene pool. <br />did all my laundry last night and re-packed cause today im road trippin it up to uf and ucf w/ kt ray and amanda, stayin at jennas house and then goin down to spencers and blizzard beach be back sunday~ so excited! <br />other than that not much is goin on at all, <br />its been a crazy summer like whoa!<br />t-minus 30 days till i move to college! thank god so close!<br />im out urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:57797 2005-07-06T13:39:27Z 2005-07-06T13:39:27Z 46 days till i move in to college!<br />so close! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:57519 2005-07-05T02:58:20Z 2005-07-05T02:58:20Z Gone- Jim Chappell Take chances, tell the truth, date someone totally wrong for u, say no, spend all your money, fall in love, get to know sumeone random, be random, say I love you, sing out loud, laugh at stupid jokes, get revenge, apologize, tell someone how much they mean to you, tell an asshole what you feel about him, Live Life. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:57209 2005-07-04T04:46:23Z 2005-07-04T04:46:23Z burn-alkaline trio GOD I CANT WAIT TO LEAVE FOR COLLEGE!<br />AUGUST 21ST WONT BE HERE SOON ENOUGH!!! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:56873 2005-07-02T04:13:34Z 2005-07-02T04:13:34Z the facebook totally owns my world urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:56646 2005-06-30T11:41:29Z 2005-06-30T11:41:29Z wow<br />i cant believe its over.....<br />how awesome was that?<br />cant even put it into words!<br />wow<br />already put my pics onto my cpu....557! count it<br />idk what to do now w/ myself, no schedule<br />and wtf is this rain doing here when i get back!?<br />anyways...halla at me so we can hang!<br />i leave again on the 9th and im probably going to see spencer b/t now and then so....cell it urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:56334 2005-06-16T03:47:10Z 2005-06-16T03:47:10Z Every Little Thing She Does is Magic um...i dont think i can put into words how excited i really am.....nope....cant do it urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:56139 2005-06-14T06:23:35Z 2005-06-14T06:23:35Z italy day after tomorrow! urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:55814 2005-06-13T19:51:37Z 2005-06-13T19:51:37Z www.woot.com<br />they sell one thing a day and when they are all gona....they're gone urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:cougar93:55767 2005-06-13T13:10:09Z 2005-06-13T13:10:09Z italy: T-minus 2 days<br />count it!
