Today was pretty chill. Woke up, ate breakfast, chilled, and went to Arlington for my friend Andrea's birthday!!!!! Yahhoooo. She's nineteen, and I'm jealous. I only have a few weeks left of being a teenager.
I kind of want to do stereotypical teenager-y things....maybe shout to the world that they don't understand or wear a prom dress or have a MySpace photoshoot or ...I don't know.
Honestly, I feel like I'm still going to be a teenager even when I'm not. I'm too young of a person to want to grow up, and as mature as I am I feel like a child. I think it's the maturity that wants to cherish every joyful moment.
Anyways, it has come to my attention that I should probably blab about how the name of my blog came to be. The name, "The Good Stuff," was actually inspired by the Kenny Chesney song that I love so so much!!!! The title is a reminder of what things in life, as simple as they may be, are truly significant to the human heart.
'Cause it's the first long kiss on a second date.
Momma's all worried when you get home late.
And droppin' the ring in the spaghetti plate,
'Cause your hands are shakin' so much.
An' it's the way that she looks with the rice in her hair.
n' eatin' burnt suppers, the whole first year,
An' askin' for seconds to keep her from tearin' up.
Yeah, man, that's the good stuff.
"'Cause the one thing stronger than the whiskey:
"Was the sight of her holdin' my baby girl.
"The way she adored that string of pearls,
"I gave her the day that our youngest boy, Earl,
"Married his high school love."
"An' it's a new tee-shirt saying: 'I'm a Grandpa'.
"Bein' right there as our time got small,
"An' holdin' her hand, when the Good Lord called her up,
"Yeah, man, that's the good stuff."
So, on Thursday I move to Maryland for camp. I'm excited, yet sad that I'm leaving good ole' Virginia. I'm gonna have to start packing and planning things to bring. Wah. Packing always stresses me out.
Errr, it's 3 in the morning and I want to wake up at a decent time. Wayyyyy to go me....
Goals for the morning:
- make a packing list
- back exercises
- Economics studying...
