Decisions, Decisions

Sorry for the break, but I've been busy making Bad Decisions, so I thought I'd write about it...

My boy Fera used and his crew used to go out Thursday nights to downtown Gainesville and get nice and rowdy. This tradition was known as "Bad Decision Thursday". I proceeded to borrow the idea of "Bad Decision ____" and took it to South Florida with me as we went out on Fridays after work, even as far as to include my Godfather in the quote. The saying was then brought to the Keys for Spring Break 'O8, and after having "Bad Decision Monday", "Bad Decision Tuesday", and "Bad Decision Wednesday"; Rob made the claim that we should just rename it "Bad Decision '08". This has continued, to a lesser degree into '09.

It is important to know that "Bad Decisions" are not necessarily bad decisions, although they may be viewed that way by some. A "Bad Decision" includes partying hard, maybe bringing home a less-than-attractive partner, or even just spending too much money on a certain night.
It's not always that bad, but it sure isn't the most responsible.

I've been thinking about it and I view a lot of good as I've made my return to Gainesville for the seventh year of college. I make jokes about trying to stay here as long as possible, but in honesty I actually am earning 3 degrees. The way I went and continue going about it may not be the most practical, but I'm having a good time and I don't care. I'm not living my life for other people, and no one should. There's no standard way to go about living your life, so just do what makes you happy.

I've made some good decisions in my life (picking UF is probably tops on the list) and I've certainly made some bad decisions (seems it is usually with girls). However, all of these decisions eventually lead up to who I am and what I'll become. Granted, I have regrets about not working a little harder, or not just blocking out what my friends thought about certain things; but I can't change any of that now and the quicker I learn and am able to apply that I can move forward.

As I continue through life, many choices will be put in front of me and I must decide which path to take. These paths may lead to a career, a wife (she'll have to have some patience) and a kid (hopefully no time soon). Some may disagree with the maze that I choose to take, and that's fine as we all have our own opinion on what are good and bad decisions.

All I know is that every "Bad Decision" has made great memories.
