    The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Stories (Barnes & Noble Classics)

    2 quarters and 3 years later...

    ...and here I am.  :D!

    My god.  It's been this long since I posted anything?  Looking back at all these blogs, it's really something.  That's the only word I can use, what a literate, suave fuck I am.  Hot stuff.  You know, I think everyone should look at their xangas 'cause everyone I know has facebook now, but used to have xanga when we were all in high school.  Try it guys, it's really cool.  Your life is so much different than the kid who posted those blogs, I'm telling you.  I'm sure this blog could be longer if I post again.  Though it's now almost 8 in the morning and my heart is thumping and I haven't slept yet!!

    Ben and I hardly talk anymore.  Some friendship we had there.  Michael Ward is my best friend currently.  Where was he all these years?  Him and Aleksey, actually.  Wow Aleksey.  8 years of knowing each other.  That's a real friendship unlike anything I've ever known.  Andrew Southworth is a cool guy, too.  There is some potential for a future workforce, I think.  Him and Adam Brixey.  "Tricksey Brixey."  Would love to work with some of the people in my class.  Some of them have become close friends of mine.  Steve and Paul?  I don't talk to them anymore.  Saw Steve recently, he's doing good.  Funny how quick friendships change, don't you think?  For that matter, relationships in general.  Back with Meghan again.  Things are going really great there.  Surprisingly great.  It scares me.  I used to say in my older blogs that I loved all my high school friends and missed them a bunch.  Well, it's not so bad meeting new friends.  I encourage it.  I can't wait to meet more new people with whatever I do as a career. 

    I also said that I was changing into a different Bryan in college.  I am a different Bryan.  The man with two faces in the mirror.  Only now, at this point in life as I sit here typing this, do I realize why I love "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" so much, and have been fascinated by it since as far back I can remember.  It is that duality of humans.  No, it is the multiples that make up a human.  The complexity we share and don't share.  The constant struggle for self-identity.  Things like this make me wonder.  If I died tomorrow, would anyone really know who I was?  Who I was in the blogs below is only someone similar on the inside, the very core of my being.  Other than that, alot has changed.

    And here I am, 2 quarters and 3 years later.  I asked myself in an earlier blog, about the drugs, the crazy parties, the random gunfire in the woods, the loves found and lost, the late nights working my ass off while the roommate was throwing up all over the place... was it worth it? 

    Yes. 

    I just looked out my window a few minutes ago.  It's 8:16 AM.  This morning marks the first fall of snow.

    so hm...college still. what is there to say new? I feel like shit yet i feel terrific. I'm the same yet entirely different. i've seen things and experienced things that have made me think, and made me feel like a different Bryan. Sure, i go back to see my friends in the band. And with my college buddies who i grew up with its entirely the same as the good ol' days.

    but not in highschool. i saw them at their last club w. how weird it felt to be discluded from the fun of my youth, having to watch what i missed out on. They're all growing up without me, and they don't seem to care. these people are people i grew up with too, and they say its "awkward" that i come back to visit? is it so bad for an alumni to see his long-time highschool buddies? apparently so. who knows? maybe things will change when summer comes around, but as for now, well...

    lets talk about the drugs, the sex, the alcohol and the shootings that happened just a few weeks ago.  what the hell? lol  i'm trying to fit in.  but just tonight, i saw a girl who i rly feel like i could have a connection with.  and what do i do?  blow it over cuz i suck at looking like "hot stuff."  i can't even talk right in front of her.  she must think i'm an asshole for trying to look cool, and i can't even show her i'm half interesting.


    i've been changed from the good guy that all my friends looked up to, into something totally different. that "family unity" award doesn't even feel like it belongs to me when i come home and see it on the wall in my room. the only time i really act like myself is when i'm around my 3 best friends here at WSU. atleast people are open and i can talk to them, and atleast i've found one buddy who i can sort of relate to. its the little things that get me through each day.

    its just like film class said about the horror genre; ...all the things i've seen in college can transform someone as right as rain into a terrible tornado of hellish monstrosity. as long as my friends keep faith in me, and my parents keep faith in what i want to do with my life, i just might get by and become the best fuckin director i ever wanted to be. its all starting to fall together now; the dangers, the friendships, the situations that teach us moral life lessons. i may hate some things about college, but i have to put up with it and just start being myself. Being the Bryan everyone knows at home.

    I wont be surprised if nobody cares to read how long i ramble on, this is mostly for myself to remind me of the major step i've made, and that i'm about to make. hope you highschoolers learn from this message. make the best of college and dont be afraid to be outgoing. it helps aLOT. but be yourself. i've learned from that.

    so i was looking at my xanga and everyone else's and it reminded me of the good times we all shared.  i may lead a separate life at wright state, but i can't forget the ones who rly made high school worth it.  here's a shoutout to all you guys...

    Brad Taylor, Murph, Boso, Bradford, Aleksey, Ryan, Andrew, Andre, Kevin, Sarah, Erica, Megan, Laura, Adam, Mark, the entire rest of the t-bone sections (trombones rule!), Kaela, Mia, Doug, Mr. Ellis, Matthew, Grg, Nick, Stopa, Val, Luuuke!, Shayla, Mike Jones!, and the entire rest of the band, if i stupidly missed out on anyone.

    i can't WAIT, just 28 DAYS TIL BREAK!!!! and i'll be home to chill (literally) with all my hommies here at home.  If there's anything i can say about the place i grew up in, and the people i grew up with its this...There's no town like Wo-town. : D

    so yeah, sittin in my room literally, at 15 past midnight, and i'm thinkin, "So this is college...hmph."  not bad.  i mean, i did make friends that i feel like i've known all of highschool, but its not like i've gotten caught for pot yet, or had any drunken, unprotected sex.  is that so bad?
    the best thing to hope for now is that i can just get thru the next 2 quarters and 3 years, and hopefully go to USC...  i rly wonder if it'll be that easy.  prolly not, but what else to do?  i have nothing else i can think of that i'd rather do than make movies.  so if that doesn't work out..well...

    finally graduating feels so nice.  i never imagined what it would be like, but you dont know how it'll feel until you're there, sitting with everyone and the band is playing.  Suddenly everyone around you is your friend like you've known them all your life.  You find yourself joking with them and laughing and saying how great its gonna be because its finally over.  And even though you knew you would, you find yourself saying "i can't believe its over."  Tossing your hat in the air is the best part, unless ofcourse you end up with an extra hat plus three tassels afterward.  but we took pictures and i swear those were great two hours.

    Aleksey and Ryan came over and we went out to meet up with Stopa, Megan, Joey, Sam, and a bunch of others at Steak 'n Shake.  it was nice.  then today Aleksey and i went over to the school just to find out i dont have a diploma with honors sticker cuz i just have a regular diploma.  oh well.  so then we got the new super mario bros. for the DS and i'm so tired from lack of sleep i think i might pass out typing this.  if not, i'll finish it.
