That's life. That's it. You go through the motions, and then it's over. What I've learned recently is, it's the people you surround yourself with, the path you take and the experiences you have that make it worth living. And perhaps everyone dies because it's the looming fact that it will end that makes you live your life to the fullest, or try to anyway. Maybe we're not here for an eternity so that we can enjoy the ride that much more. Life is not a vicious cycle, but a beautiful thing. I've decided to embrace my life, and love every moment, good, bad or indifferent.
I am finally at peace with my life, and I will be at peace with my death.

The Summer That Ended.
Summer is over tomorrow.
I accomplished a fair amount of things on my list.
Here's what didn't get done.
1. Write ten new songs (I wrote two.)
2.Learn to play guitar (Not fully, I learned a bit of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, though)
3. Go to a summer concert or two.
4. Work up a good flip-flop collection (I wore the same pair all summer)
5. Go to St. Andrews with Jess and Mon (It was basically impossible to have done that)
6. Sleep outside.
7. Go camping
8. Go tubing
9. Drive dad's boat again
10. Walk really far down the shore at the Reach (The water was too high)
11. Don't waste any time. (But it what else is summer for, really?
12 . Go to the caves in St. Martins
13. Climb Mt. Carlton (We always talk about it, never do it.)
14. Jump off the pier into the water (Again, a case of the water being too high.
15. Bring a friend to the Reach.
15 unaccomplished things out of 110?
I'm not complaining.
