You married the wrong guy.

Far too often we rush into things before we fully think about it. We are all guilty of letting our hearts think for our minds, and we as humans fail to look beyond the now. It took me this long to realize that it’s true, you simply just married the wrong guy.

Almost every relationship has a winner and a looser, and up until now I believed I was the latter. But, as I began to reminisce about the past I came to the conclusion that the exact opposite was the case. I may be the one alone in my room writing a blog post about you, but at least I am not sitting behind a desk wishing I was living any life but the one I do. Being alone is far greater than being wed to someone you no longer love. We all know that you aren’t happy, and knowing I have the ability to fix that tears me up.

Time and again I have threatened to give up, and time and again something keeps calling me back. I used to promise that I would be here when you realized you were wrong, but I am breaking that promise. That may be the case, but I will no longer guarantee something that my heart wants and my mind vetos. After all, that is what got us into this mess in the first place, isn’t it?

It saddens me

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:47:00 -0500

when people do not pursue their dreams. Often times we let things get in our way that give us an excuse to hold back. Some people dream big, others do not dream at all. But I tell you this from experience, it is the greatest and most challenging adventure you could ever endure: dropping everything you knew and had going for you to pursue something that is in no way secure or sure.

I have been drowned in doubt and discouragement from those I once thought I loved and loved me. Relationships I was sure would last a lifetime crumbled even quicker than they were built because I chose a path that was not as convenient for them. I know what it is like to love something, and with confidence I can say that I will just know when it happens.

That was always an interesting concept for me: the phrase, “you just know” rang true for every happy couple I have encountered in my twenty years of life, or at least that is what they wanted me to believe. But that never made sense; how can you be so sure of something one day, and just as sure of the opposite the next? Well my friends, I have done what was once personally deemed impossible. Not with women, not even close. But when the thought of playing music for the rest of my life popped in to my head, I just knew.

I may not have a wife, but I do have a purpose. And to you, my bride, I pray that you are pursuing your dreams just the same. Wherever you are now, keep doing what you are doing, and know that I will always love you. Because I know that when the time is right, we will meet at the intersection of my dreams and yours.

You have heard it said

That nice guys finish last. Man, is this the truest thing that I have heard in a while. Women often speak of how they want a real man who treats them like they are the most important person in the world. That may be the case for real women. Fake women (let’s call them girls) are not interested in that at all. Both women and girls have strong desires to meet this guy and have them a part of their life. However, women take advantage of the opportunity when they meet this guy, girls take advantage of the guy himself.

Are girls fully responsible for nice guys finishing last? Absolutely not. Nice guys are looking in all of the wrong places and/or all of the wrong times. Often times we set ourselves up for disaster. You cannot set a wounded animal in front of a lioness and expect her not to eat. We just need to be more prepared and more alert so as not to get wounded in the first place.

I haven’t quite figured out how to fully tell a woman from a girl right off the bat, but I will be sure to let you know as soon as I develop this skill. I may never have females figured out, but at least I have figured out that I do not want one that is not a woman. And so, I leave you with this:

Nice guys may finish last, but at least we finish.

What is it

Wed, 13 Feb 2013 04:47:34 -0500

that I am doing to improve my life and the lives of those I encounter? I recently read a blog post from Jake, and he had stated how I had inspired his blog to be more of a reflection of important memories/events in his life. I thought long and hard about the significance of this… If I have even caused one person to focus on the quality of their life, well I cannot ask for much more than that.

Life is too short to not remember it. I want to be able to tell these stories for the rest of my existence. And if I need a blog to help me remember, then so be it. I have not been on this earth very long, but I have made it through some key years in development and have learned a tremendous amount from those years. Before I turned 21 I have:

-Attended a university

-Dropped out of that university

-Toured a few times

-Played guitar on a few records

-Started a band

-Worked for Nickelodeon

-Worked for Marriott

-Got promoted twice

-Quit my job

-Became a professional guitar player

I am proud to claim each one of those as a part of my story. I have made some pretty life changing decisions just in the past year that will effect the rest of my life. How will I know if I made the right decision? I guess there is only one question to ask myself, and that is: am I happy? And I say absolutely. I may not be making a ton of money like I used to or have a signed piece of paper that says I spent a lot of money to be told that I am smarter than the average bear (I think the proper term is a college degree). But I get to fall asleep every night knowing that I serve an omnipotent God who loves me and I play guitar for a living. What more could I ask for?
