For the greater part of my life my friends have been coming to me for relationship advise and 9 out of 10 times it works. Side note, I have never been in a relationship before. All I have ever had the joy of experiencing is unrequited loves with different girls over the years.
The most recent set of advice that I have had to give out is to two of my friends whom are dating. The girl in the relationship is going o be going off to college in the fall, and they are both worried about what will happen when that happens. So in all of my wisdom (that I have gained from time and How I Met Your Mother) and tell them that they shouldn't worry about it for now, and to just have fun. In other words, its future boy and future girl's problem, not theirs.
Anyways, it seems to have worked for the most part. One thing kind of bothers me though, and it always has. Where do I get the right in giving other people advise in areas I have no experience in? I mean, you go to a doctor to find out if there is anything medically wrong with you, do don't ask a carpenter that.
On that note, I have a long history of giving advice out to my friends and family. They say its because I am grounded, I think its because I don't know how it live. Because I give out such good advice and am so cautious, I have had to nicknames given to me: "the conscience" and "jimminy cricket". I am not particularly bothered by either of these nicknames, it just makes me wonder about what role I really should be playing in my life.
Lots of stuff has been going on. To me, and to everyone. I don't know what to think about now a day's. I feel like I'm not getting anywhere in the post anymore, so I think I'll end it here.

Its been a little while
So I really haven't been updating this blog that much as I have been updating my other blog, 365 Random Acts of Kindness, which has been going well.
In other news I got home for my summer break from college late last Friday evening, and have been spending the weekend hanging out with my friends who are home already, which has been a complete blast. Now that I have had some me time, it is time I do some work on me. Emotionally and spiritually I am in a good place. My other blog is tracking the good things I do for people, so that is all good, but physically I am lacking. Many of you know that I am healthy, but I could use some major improvements in my lifestyle. Do not take that as me admitting to me drinking too much or or activities like that, because I do not do that to extent. Everything in moderation, and I stick to that.
Last August my mother and I went on this heath food cleanse, where we ate extremely healthy for pretty much the whole month (21 days to be exact). Today, well in the morning, my mother and I will be doing this again. This program pretty much turns me into a vegan for 10 days and on the 11th day we introduce meat again in small portions. Last summer when I went on this I felt the best I ever had and lost about 20 lbs. After two semesters at college, that weight has come back to me.
In addition to eating better, a few friends of mine and I are purchasing passes to our city recreation center so we can work out as a group, as we all feel we could use improvement in that area. I am feeling really good about this. I think I am finally at the point in my life where I want to make a change to my lifestyle and stick to it. I have made my own work out plan and I am going to stick to it this summer. It is nothing extreme, and I do not expect to come out of the summer looking like a movie star, but I feel if I stay motivated and keep to my plans, I will become a much more svelte self, something I have talked about for a long time.
I am really looking forward to the changes that will be happening to me this summer. I can not wait to find out what is in store for me in all areas of my life.
