They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Want to know what's worth more than that? A billion dollars... OR taking a massive shit on a toilet made up entirely of gold where the flusher thing is encrusted with 24 carrot diamonds.
Ballin.
I've been in thousands of photos in my lifetime. From the time my dad took a picture of me letting out a battle cry as I prevailed victorious over my mothers vagina on the day I was born......to this past weekend of me "raging" as grown men pressed the play button on iTUNES at EDC NY.
Yes, moments of my life have been captured through images since the day I was born. These images help me remember the moments I may have forgotten. These images help me re-live the events that are now just a distant memory. These images remind me of the good and bad times but nonetheless, they help me remember.
I'm graduating college in a couple of days and I want to remember every single second of it. To do this, I went back and looked at every picture that was posted on Facebook, Instagram, Flickr or even those losers who still use photobucket.
I thought I grasped everything and then I took a shit.
After being constipated, I met up with some friends and we just talked. The conversation led us to reminisce about college. The more we talked, the more I remembered, the more I laughed and the more I realized, I know whats worth more than a picture. And that's being around your ratchet ass friends.
This blog entry of mine has no structure. It really has no centralized idea of what it wants to talk about. I wanted to talk about pictures and how they evoke memories and happy feelings but then I wanted to talk about college. And then I wanted to talk about my friends and a whole bunch of other shit and it then it dawned on me...WHO THE FUCK GIVES A SHIT, I passed Writing 102, I can talk about whatever I want!!
This entry is a mish mosh and it EXACTLY encompasses what college was like, a mish mosh of EVERYTHING. You had your triumphs, you had your defeats. You had your joys, you had your heartbreaks. You had your laughs, you had your cries. You had your friends and....you had your friends.
It is the people that made college what it is for me. To everyone graduating, look through all the pictures and remember all the good times but don't ever forget all the moments a picture couldn't capture. All the times you needed a shoulder to cry on, remember that friend. All the times you needed help in organic chem or another subject that you will never again use in your life, remember that friend. All the times you did a secret handshake with someone, remember that friend. All the times you saw that one person at a party and made a high pitched voice like OMGERRRRD, remember that friend.
All the times you had a one night stand with a fat and ugly human, forget that person.
A picture can capture so much. But nothing can capture time like being with your friends. Many of us will graduate and go off on our own road. But if that road ever leads you back to spending some time with a friend that you've shared so much with, make sure you take the opportunity and cherish it. A picture is worth a thousand words but spending time with those people in those pictures is priceless.
My unstructured and "all over the place" entry is coming to an end but before it does, I just wanted to emphasize: cherish the people you've met over these past 4 years. To those of you who haven't graduated yet, I can't emphasize enough, cherish these moments. Stop masterbating in your room and go out to that party and meet as many people as you can. Don't ever lose sight of why you're here, getting an education, but the social interactions you make, will either break or make your college experience.
To all those that I've met in college, thank you for the most unforgettable four years of my life. I will take with me all the memories we've had and hope to build on them in the future. I can't express how thankful I am and I hope that one day I can repay all of you back in someway. There are so many of you who have done little things for me that probably either forgot or think I'm not talking about you but I am. I am thanking ALL of you.
This blog entry might have been all over the place and chaotic but it's a not a goodbye, it's a see you later.

i've been lucky to have spent 4 years with you
