College Blues: Last day

Well, this is my last day in Dublin. Friday at 5 in the morning, I'll be leaving Dublin, my home, my family and my friends. I'll starting a new journey for my life. A new chapter has just been open in the book of Michael and another one closes, But that's life.

I have lived in Dublin for about 8 years now, I've had my ups and downs, but it comes time in a mans life where he needs to move on and make something of himself. That time has come.

I've really like doing these " College Blues" notes. Not just so everyone can see how much I love tony, but to reflect on an enjoyable life. For some reason this note has been the hardest to write, I shed a tear every time I think about what I've been through. I can't imagine what I'll be going through in the next 8 years. But now it's the future and I need to thank people who will affect my next 8 years.

Tony Lipps-For the 3rd and final time, Mr. Tony Lipps. Tonight I went to his house for dinner with my family and his family. We got on the topic of crazy adventures. Tony and I decided to tell our craziest time together and then it hit me... We have had more crazy times being best friends for 8 year then many people have in a lifetime. Tony and I have had a unique friendship. We have been through our bad times, our good times and everything in between. He has always been a solid force in my life. He doesn't know this, but he has taught me so much about myself. I have really started believing in the saying that Best friends are the siblings god forgot to give us. Tony has always been my brother, my friend, my best friend. He will have a very successful life. He is determined to be the best in everything and He is! Tony and I have so many more unique journeys and adventures to have in our life.

My Mom had this conversation with me tonight, about how I would stay friends with Tony, due to us going different directions in our life. It shook me a little, but it hit me.. There is no option, We HAVE to be best friends. We have to grow old and watch our kids play basketball together. We have to keep in touch. Tony, you are my best bud. I love you like a brother. You have been my brother in a lonely world. You will always be with me in my heart. So thank you Tony for being so loyal to me, for being my best friend

Terry- Anne-I truly do love my sister. Terry-Anne hasn't been a huge figure physically in my life, due to the distance between us. But she never lets me down. She is the most fantastic sister a person can have. She and I are very much a like. We have so much in common. I truly do miss my sister, She happens to be my favorite family member. She will always lend a helping hand in need. In the future I know I'll see her more. I love you Terry. I truly do. Remember you're walking down the red carpet with me.

Thank you!

David Corris- Dave is my key to college. He will become my best friend in Chicago. He has always been a good buddy of mine. I look up to him like an older brother. I can't wait to get to see him almost every single day. We truly hit it off in the summer of 06!! He befriended Tony and I. I really appreciated that. Now look at me! I'm all grown up and can't wait to see you!


Derek Herman- Derek! Dude! This is it! Our time to run Roosevelt. I'm so happy I met you and we becoming roomies. Thank god, there are so many weird kids out there.... So lets run this place and I can't wait to finally become your friend and learn from you! You seem like a "cool cat" not a tool thank god! Well, Derek. I can't wait for you to become my support system in college... Good luck man!

Brianna Schumacher- You seem like such a great girl!! I can't wait to meet you. You will be a big part of my future and what not. Lets go to the gym and work it out!!!

Hylton Lea- Words can't describe this man. He happens to be the nicest, caring, best looking individual I know. Hylton will help you out before he helps himself out. I really believe you will be a big part of my life, heck you are a big part. I try to model myself off of Hylton. But of course, I can't be as good as he is!

I love you Hy!

Well, guys, That's it.. Its over... That's all folks... My chapter in Dublin is over.. A new chapter just opened up... Chicago..

I will miss you, Tony... I truly will. Bye Buddy. Keep your head up!! And never look down!!

I love you, Man :)

5 days before I leave.. College Blues

As promised I am writing my " famous" college blues note. Let me start of by saying these last few days have been nothing short of amazing. I have recently realized that I have some stellar friends. You may or may not know but I recently had a pool party at my place, which tony and brad set up for me. I decided to take a look around the pool for a second and it hit me like a brick wall... This is it.. my last pool party, with these people, these people i have associated with and become so close too. So tonight, I'm not going to look a head to the future, neither will I look behind me of what I have done. I'm just going to look right in front of me and focus on what I have been given today.

Tony- As promised, I'm going to talk about Tony again. Lets start with a bang and by saying he is the most outstanding person I have in my life. He is very supportive with what I am doing in my life.
Let me tell you a story. I love my brother, I really do. He is a great guy with wonderful intentions, but one day I was over at his house and he handed me a newspaper article about how actors or anyone who goes into the performing arts makes the least amount of money then any other major... so I got the hint, he was looking out for me, but on the same token Tony has always encouraged me to do what I want and I act for him and all my other fans, but most importantly for myself. Tony has shown me to always look up when things got you down. He is a person who is a very modest. A humble man who really he has it all. He's smart, outgoing, very forward with everything, but most importantly the best friend a man can ever ask for. To this very day Tony pushes me as an individual and keeps fighting for me to do the right thing and it will help me in the future, but most importantly right now.. When it matters. But Tony, a little tip for the future, Always keep looking forward, my friend. Our friendship doesn't end on August 21st. Remember that

Thanks Tony.

Cameron Brown- Cameron and I have a very up and down friendship. He is a wonderful guy, let me start of by saying that. Cameron is more level headed then I'll ever be. He thinks before he does everything... and I mean everything. He also has this amazing nature of helping people out when they are in need. Thats truly is a gift not many people have or will ever get!
Cameron and I are the shakiest friendship you will ever see. I am very worried about if our friendship will last in the future, but for now.. In the present It is very solid. We recently became very good friends again and I really do appreciate what he does for not just me, but everyone. Cams the kind of kid who will get to know everyone and never has judged a person before he talks to them.. He is an honest guy. I don't know if Cam and I will be friends for life.. but for right now, this is perfect

Thanks Cam!



Lucy and Jaime- Lucy and Jaime.. are my best friends that are girls.. Jaime has always been so protective of me, I love it. She won't let anything hurt me. Lucy has always been that girl I can go to when I'm not feeling so good about myself. Both these girls are so different, but have one thing in common which formed a friendship and that is theater. Theater united these ladies and ever since then you can't break them a part. I have no idea if I'll keep in contact with them, not because I don't want to but we live such different lives. Nevertheless these girls are wonderful individuals and will always be in my heart as two girls I can trust to be my best friends.

Thanks and stay strong ladies.

Katy Fattahela- You were my prom date and a wonderful date at that. We have been through so much together. It's very hard for me to write about what we have been through, because a lot of the stuff kills me to even think about. I don't know if I'll see much of you Post " Dublin era" but getting to know you was a blessing in its self. You have always struck me as a confident individual and if you aren't, you must be the best actress in the world. I am so taken back by your ability to get to know everyone you meet. This attraction you have with people will get you a long way in life. You are so caring, if you ever meet katy, remember one thing She wants to get to know you regardless of who you are and the best part about it is SHE ACTUALLY CARES! Katy I love you for who you are.. Never change that.. no matter what the future has in store for us.

Thank Katy




Jenny- Jenny, wow, how do I even begin. I am so happy through everything that has ever happened to us, we have remained great friends. I respect a lot of the things you did for me, even though I never ever told you. You're a beautiful girl with a great heart. We both made mistakes during our relationship. It's something we overcame together. I blamed everything on you when it was my fault. I wasn't caring enough towards you, but nevertheless that is in the past, we need to focus on the present. Me seeing you again is still up in the air. We have come so far from the first time I met you, but who's to say we don't even go further. I truly will miss you as much as we fight or we argue about stupid things.

There is one thing that really kept our friendship/ relationship a live and that was the love of acting and music.. It seemed like I dedicated every song to you, which I probably did, but acting really pulled us together. You will always be my Millie and I will always be your Bottom.

Thanks Jenny!

Well guys, I have 5 days left. It's been a great deal of fun lately. We have spent every night like its our last and for that THANK YOU!

I'll leave you with a quote

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.”

Thank you! I will truly miss you guys!

The Eagle has landed! Welcome back Mike Vick!

Mr. Michael Vick is now an Eagles. As an Eagle fan, I'm really pumped that the head office took a risk. It's really about freaking time!! I really don't think Michael Vick will do anything as an Eagle. It's not really a huge risk for the Eagles, but it does bring down the orignization, due to moral views. He did fight dogs and he is a Thug, but regardless I think the Eagles are favorites to win the Super Bowl. Michael Vick, all in all was a great pick up for the Eagles.

Great Job Philadelphia and I'm proud to be an Eagles fan

E-A-G-L-E-S

The start of a beautiful friendship!

I've decided to get into Blogging, not because I'm very good at this, just purely for enjoyment. I'm sure as the week progresses I'll have a lot of "College Blues" writing to have for everyone, but as for now. I'll leave you with this thought

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost."

My next post will most likely be about my friendships and what not.

Thanks!
