HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANDALL! (a little early *grin*)

It's funny thinking about the past and how far you've come to rise above all the hate, possible regret and mistakes that you might have made and learned from. It's also quite interesting how you can never get away from the past. It's like you "keep moving forward" but the past is always going to follow. It's never going to go away. You might not have thought of the past often, but it's still there and there is usually something that will bring up certain memories whether it's music, smells, something that someone says or anything that can bring back a memory. Kinda a moment that I'm having right now.

Moving on. It's so interesting how your life can change in a moment. Whether it was something you just discovered or perhaps you were told some life-changing news, as I was this evening. It was the perfect way to tell me and in that moment, I realized that nothing will ever be the same. The thought of that realization did make me sad for a moment, but the news is just too good to feel sad for long. Sometimes life makes changes that surprise you, but at the same time, life that happens is always promising.

So it's been a few days and I'm worried that events are going to repeat themselves. I'm really hoping not. That's all I can say at the moment.

I have been back on track for about three days now and feeling pretty positive about it. I had a great run today. It had been about a week since I had really exercised due to a strain in my back (that's what I get for trying to be a roadie) and the medication did it's job perfectly. I am almost 100% and happy that my run didn't do any harm. Happiness. I have dedicated myself to running my first Half Marathon this year. I am quite stoked to say the least.

I am quite excited about next weekend. My holiday is coming up! Florida Music Festival aka FMF 2007! Tons of my friends are playing it so I can't wait! Even my ATL crew is coming down...which makes me so happy! This is gonna be a good one! I got off of work the entire weekend so even on Sunday I can re-coop! Oh happy day!

Oddly enough, I saw two movies in the past two days. Both nights were great times with great friends and I really needed them! I had a couple of tours that were really unsettling. They had a great time and we accomplished all that they wanted and expected, but they were not fun to be around. They were such unhappy people that I couldn't stand to hear them bicker anymore. It was making me upset so much that I was tearing up by the end of the tour. That is quite unmagical. I needed the night out with my happy and positive friends. We saw Superman 3 on Monday night and then In the Land of Women on Tuesday night where we had the entire theater to ourselves, they waited to start the previews until we arrived (and we were a few minutes late), free popcorn, free drink and everyone was so nice. What a fun night! I heart my friends!
