How y'all doin! Ok so the last time i talked to you all was in March of 2003...man i was hoping to make it an every 9 month update. Oh well, once a year is going to have to do, so don't expect to hear from me again until 2005. Quick recap of 2003, got motorcycle license in September and turned 21 in November. That's all you need.
Yeah, ok, so i never made an update with NYC pics...sorry there are too many pictures and i did not want to sort through all of them.
This New Years was spent in Sin City. Yep Las Vegas. And everyone knows the cliche. I'm not going to repeat it.
I know my webpage is completely out of date and looks all primitive compared to current sites and most people use xanga or blogs to write about themselves. Well if you've been keeping up with me, then you know i don't do what most people do and really i'm just lazy to update the layout.
Now for what y'all have been waiting for, me talking about myself. On January 20, 2004, The Jahnkes is going to embark on his final semester at California State University, San Marcos. Man that's crazy. I still vividly remember my first semester there and that was two and a half years ago. Amazing. I like San Marcos, I've met a lot of people there who i like, some i don't like, and also some pretty good friends. The campus is growing into more of a "real school" now, we just opened a new library and we opened dorms last semester. Good stuff. When i graduate, i will be proud to say i graduated from CSU San Marcos, and i'll also be proud that i can brag about a little piece of paper.
To be honest with you, i don't know what made me want to write and update this jahnkes. It's 11:45 pm sunday night and i have work tomorrow at 8. I'm tired of where i work, but so are most people. I've always liked to think of myself as more mature than i should be for my age, but really i'm not even sure anymore. I mean acting mature is always a good thing, but i think in the past it has kept me from acting my age. I mean i just turned 21 a few months ago, and hell, i'm going to enjoy being a young 21-year-old guy. Tough though, when you're on the brink of the entering the work force in a mere 5 or 6 months. Sometimes my friends call me an old man because i have a tendency to fall asleep early some nights, and sometimes i am just content staying home and not going out. And sometimes i don't go out because of lack of funding haha. For some reason i usually find money for beer though, except for tonight, me and bobee only had a combined 7 bucks. Anyway, as I am coming close to college graduation, i look back on when i graduated high school. I though i knew exactly who i was. Hell, sometimes i'm still not sure who i am or what i want to be. But the one thing that college has taught me is that you never stop growing and never stop changing. Change is inevitable, and if you don't learn to embrace it, you are going to get left behind. Everyone always seems to be trying to stay ahead of the game, and there's nothing wrong with that, but if you can't stay ahead, at least try your best to keep up. Now i'm not saying you need to keep up with the joneses per say, because i'm the last person to do that, but change is good and everyone should keep growing.
It's that time for New Years Resolutions. I don't make New Years Resolutions. Now don't say i don't have goals, i have goals of my own, but i'm one to take things as they come. There's one new years resoultion that i like to think i have kept...always do what you can to make yourself a better person.
Ok this turned into something of an essay, but hey, it's been like 10 months you should have expected it to be long. The next time i talk to you guys, i'll probably have graduated and done something to try to squeeze more feeling out of this life of mine...see i told you i have goals. But hey, you might get lucky and i might update sometime in the next 12 months. Hope you all are good and have a great year. It's time to go, the rerun of Real World San Diego is on, and i need to watch it because i missed the premier. And i still plan to be on that show one day.
The Jahnkes.
