I got back from Aruba on Saturday afternoon, and I went and saw John Mayer and Maroon 5.  Wow, what a show. What  a week.  It was so amazing, yes, way amazing to sit on the beach and just chill out. Take a nap, get tan, swim in the ocean with Will Lanier and my family. 

I want to be so sincere.  I want people to really truly believe me, because i feel like i'm sincere in my actions.  I"m not saying - oh i want people to believe me no matter what i say - i'm saying- i want people to believe me like - because i'm an honest person. I'm not shady, I'm not a liar, I really just speak the truth.  I mean, what more can you do?  What more can you do besides be yourself and be honest with people?  Moreover, what more can you do for yourself besides be honest? 

I don't care what you're going through, i don't care who you are.  The best thing you can do for yourself, is be honest.  If you are weak in some area, admit it.  It hurts so much when I have to admit that to myself.

When i have to admit that i was wrong, or that i'm struggling with this or i can't handle something, it sucks, alot.

Random, i know.

Another thing:

I want to have such an amazing perspective. I want to be able to see things from so many different points of view.  I want to have such a great view on things, so like - i can understand how people see things.  I don't want to look at a situation and see it from 1 side, i want to be able to understand it and truly catch all of its dimensions.

Honesty, Perspective

Gain both, gain much.

Ok,
 
So i'm in the Newark hotel business desk typing this up - i'm gonna try to make it short but i'll update later
 
i'm going to aruba tomorrow morn before a brief stop in newark/new york city
 
my parents grew up in enyce so i've been there alot - like 4 times in the past year - anyhow - so - we waited in line for a/b an hour to go up the empire state building - and it was kinda fun - i'm with will lanier, my mom dad and steven and his girlfriend kelly, and i notice a guy wearing what appears to be an aggie ring on his hand - i try to take a look at it closer, but i fail - and i assume that it might be but oh well - on the way down - after seeing some amazing sights of enyce at night lit up - wow - guess who i'm in the elevator with - and i decided, once we got off - to ask him about it - and i go - 'excuse me sir, i noticed your ring, what school is that from?' to which he replys with a heart "TEXAS A&M".  My heart skipped a beat - and i said - 'howdy, i'm daniel, class of '07' - it was awesome - and i know some of you might think this was ridiculous and goofy - but i don't expect you to feel a/b it the same way i do - i guess thats why this is my blog and i share my feelings - anyhow - he shakes my hand and says - i'm class of '54 (This is his 50th year reunion - this past Muster was) - so he puts his arm around me and we walk out of the empire state building talking a/b my major and his major (journalism) and - he was just way cool - a cool old guy - a/b 72+ , he was so awesome - so - he said - have a great time here - and i echoed it back - and he left - and then i wanted to ask him so many questions -where does he live - where did he live on campus - he had to have been in the corps - what outfit - was his wife an aggie -
 
anyhow, i leave for aruba in '07 hours
 
 
I'm proud of my school, it is so special, I wish i could share it with EVERY, SINGLE ONE of my blog readers - because it means so much to me - and you reading my blog means alot to me too
 
I'll talk to ya'll soon

I was driving along home from work on Thursday afternoon and just cruising and jamming to incubus or coldplay one of the 2

and i decided it would be way tight to wave to other people on the road - it was a beautiful day - ya know?

so i caught eyes with this guy on a harley - going the other way - and my hand was already hanging out the window - so i raised my hand and waved to him - he took his hand off his bike and gave the biggest most happy grin i've seen in a long while - it was really really funny - and i laughed - and it was like - he knew me or something - one of those ones that you do to someone you know - anyhow - it was really awesome and it made my day

When I listen to Foo Fighters songs, I feel inspired and very, man i don't know how to say it - but - well reflective would be the best word.

Listen to Learn to Fly, be reflective. Good music is good music.

I went to Austin by myself this past weekend. I stayed with Evan North and Ryan Granzow. Austin is really really fun and cool and I think I might like to live there next summer.


Thanks and gig 'em.
