Time.

Oh how time flies...

Prom has already come and gone. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was buying roses and asking someone totally different to prom. This past weekend I've truly realized what fun is about. Fun is really about the moments. It's about freezing time and your thoughts and yourself and the stress and the school and the work and the jobs and the money... you freeze all that just to be a superstar. To be yourself. To be beautiful, or hansom, or to be goofy, or lazy or what have you. Fun starts at the root of just being.

Prom was pretty dope. I love not having any pressure to impress or to fulfill anyone else's night but my own. That night was one of the few times where it was cool to just have what I wanted for once. Being able to chill with some buds and have a cookout then get dressed up and look good to dance the night away is what it should all be about. In the end I'm honestly not gonna remember how I asked my date, and I'm gonna try to forget the fact that I didn't get her a ticket :0... but it's truly the little things I'll never forget.

I wish we didn't make such a big deal about the preparation though. You do all this work and spend all this money, and so many people come away heartbroken because the night didn't seem to be worth the money. Once again kids are realizing first hand that life isn't like the movies (if your criteria for success coincides with societies). I read in the school paper how other countries have a similar thing and have some cultural dances. I think it'd be sick of the USA had a little bit of that. Like everyone knew a latin standard, and waltz, and something else. I think that'd be pretty sick. One day I'm gonna take ballroom dancing. Anyhow I just hope everyone had as good of a time as I did, and if you're a junior and you didn't, just remember to take the pressure off yourself for next year. And this is life stuff people... don't let other people kill your happiness. Whether you're the guy or the girl, this is your moment too, so don't let someone negatively alter a wonderful memory that you deserve to keep for the rest of your life.
