fanfare for the common man...

Good people of the internet, I bring you greetings from the illadelph. I have a ton of great ideas for blogs that i have to write but i simply haven't had the time. But i thought that it was important for me to take a lil time away from my cramming to inform all of you that tomorrow, Tuesday, august 15, 2006 is my last day as an undergraduate student. That right people. No more classes, early late or otherwise. It marks the end of finals, midterms, juries and quizzes. There are no more reading assignments, whack projects, papers or group work. I am rapidly approaching the rest of my life and i must say it feels pretty freakin' amazing. My time at Temple University has been fabulous. I have learned, loved, conquered, been conquered, and built legacies but the time has finally come for me to move onward and upward.

To all of you who have shown me ropes, tricks of the trade, hot lunch trucks, the best time to catch dean yamron, etc, I thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. To those of you i leave behind in the hallowed halls of the Presser building, keep it together your time will soon come. To the faculty and staff that have put up with my antics, silly questions, sarcasm and wrong and/or loud notes, thanks for your help and guidance and in many cases friendship. With any luck, I'll see you on the bandstand. Thanks to my friends in and out of school for the words of encouragement and love. They mean a lot too me and have helped to get me through. THANKS TO MY FAMILY. I HAVE TO WRITE THIS IN CAPS BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM I WOULD HAVE NEVER EVER MADE IT THIS FAR. I LOVE YOU GUYS. And i absolutely must thank god. over the past four years i been places and seen things i would have never thought possible. I have been in some places that could have been potentially dangerous. and i have been blessed immensely. These things would not have turned out the way they have without His grace and mercy. The older i get the more i appreciate the way He moves in my life.

I have to return to studying (if i don't do well on the final tomorrow this whole entry will be in vain...). So let me just leave you with this thought: Keep your head high, your eyes and ears open. Protect your heart but don't disable it. Keep the faith, keep the peace, and keep grooving. So long temple U. I'll see you at the reunion.

Thanks for reading.
-truth, Temple University Class of '06

Dude, go and kick the rest of your life's ass. You've got the knowledge, you've got the technology. You're stronger, faster, better than you were before.
