One of the best
…days of my life. Spent 12+ hours with the most amazing girl ever, watching Pulp Fiction, skateboarding videos, old WWF promos by The Rock, showing her a bunch of family photos and other sentimental stuff, playing guitar hero 3, and so much more! :D It’s been an amazing day for sure, I can’t wait to see her tomorrow, and to top it off, i found out my grades for this past quarter at SSCC- 3.8 in Rock History II, 3.9 in English 101, and 4.0 in Sociology 101!!! Making my quarter GPA a 3.9 and overall a 3.6. :)
Sure needed this after all the depressing, crappy-weather days by myself and the ones where i stayed up all night to finish a bunch of grueling homework.
Anyways, things are definitely turning around and i’m looking forward to the future I’m heading towards. It’s not often that i feel this great, but that’s what makes it so amazing when i do. I’m loving life right now and i owe it to my friends, family, Liz, and of course God.
Thank you all so much. <3
A New Year
Ahhhh finally I’m back on Tumblr! :)
Since the last time I posted I have gone through two quarters of community college, bought an electric guitar, been working for over 6 months, experienced another relatively-short relationship, and gone through some insurance troubles. But it’s okay, cuz I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico! haha (not kidding)
Anyways, I’m now just finishing up my second quarter of college. I still find homework frustrating and boring, even though I love learning, but college has been fun so far! I’ve taken rock music history I and II, college algebra (not so fun), astronomy, english and sociology. :) As you can probably guess, rock music has been my favorite, but I’ve enjoyed the others as well.
I haven’t been playing guitar since I bought it in December, but that’s only due to my lack of free time between school, work and homework. I will be learning very soon though :)
I have also been driving a little, but due to car problems and issues with insurance, I haven’t been doing much of that either. Again, this should soon be fixed!
I had been feeling pretty depressed for a while, but I think that’s mostly due to crappy weather. I really dislike being in the rain, even though I love the sound of it. The dark clouds are also a downer. But I’ve had many fun times with friends to keep life good and It’s only getting better as 2011 progresses and the weather gets better!
Well, that’s enough for now. Just a short update on my life. It’s going pretty damn well and since I started running again last week I’ve been even happier :)
I will posting something a little more insightful soon, so stay tuned.
Thank God for everything I have, including all of you who make life wonderful! Also, I wish the best for those affected by the quake and tsunami that hit Japan. You are in my prayers.

Count Your Blessings
Dude, I got a freakin’ job! XD
So, I just realized how fast life has changed in the past 3 years.
I went from an immature, lazy, shy 230 pound kid stuck in a rut (first 2 years of high school)… to a more social athlete my last 2 years of high school, joining clubs and getting my art out there… to really enjoying church and loving God, having lots of fun with friends and family, having a job, great relationship, an awesome car.. oh, and i’m about to go to college. :D
Life is good! Thank God.

Differences
I’ve always thought that the saying “time heals all wounds” was true, and it very well may be, but when you’re stuck between two options and the first, most desirable option that could save everything, just isn’t possible and hasn’t been for a long time, you have to suck it up and go with option two.
I did that today, and it is one of the worst feelings I’ve ever had, but it had to be done.
While we are no longer in a relationship, we are still great friends. Our farewells tonight were ironically the most caring and sincere that we’ve had in a long while…Which I truly appreciate.
Love you Jasmine.
You should know
That I’ll always be there for you.
My insecurities, my worry and my paranoia are all flaws, but they are not there because of anything I think wrong of you or anything that I find wrong with us.
They are there because I care about you more than ever. I love you and I want you to be happy.
I’m glad I’m not stressing you out myself, but no matter the cause, stress should not be a big part of your life. It only makes you feel worse and I would like nothing more than for it to go away.
You make me so very happy and I just would like to return the favor.
Hope this helps :)
Four Long Years
So, this morning I went out for a three and a half mile run. After running, I walked the rest of the way home- about two and a half miles. On my way, aside from the constant thirst, my mind wandered from my girlfriend to school, then to friends and family, which led me to realize something very important; it has been way too long since I really thought about all my memories of my Uncle Mike. In a week it will have been four years & four months since he passed away.
I pray for him, think about him, and talked with my friends about his passing away and how much I miss him, but it’s been a while since I thought about him for a long time and I’ve never publicly talked about how I feel. So here goes.
My Uncle Mike was one of the most loved, loving, caring, fun-loving, sincere people I’ve ever known. I will always remember him messing with us kids, throwing firecrackers at our feet as we played in the yard at the family cabin on the fourth of July…taking me and my sister to the beach for a long walk…letting us watch Futurama even though my aunt and mom didn’t like it…all the funny stories he used to tell- like that one about his Black co-worker he called his “brotha from anotha motha” :)…how it used to bug me when he called me CCB…and that bright orange king-county shirt he gave me to use as pajamas.
You have no idea how much I wish I still had it.
Just about every night, right before I go to bed, I pray that he’s up in heaven, having a good time, smiling down on all of us, proud of what we’ve done since he left us.
I also wish he could have been there for all my wrestling matches… all the family parties he’s missed…and especially my graduation. I’m not sure if it’s out of selfishness or what, but I’ve also wondered, since the day he died, why it had to be the day of my birthday party.
I hope that when I pass away, I’ll be able to go to heaven, give him a big hug, tell him I love him, and ask him why.
Pizza Gallery
I thought this was just hilarious. Maybe you will too.. So, today Jasmine, Nick, his little brother, my family, and I are going to Goodwill to look for overalls for my Mario outfit right?… …You’ll see it eventually. Anyways, we see Pizza Gallery right next to the Goodwill and Jasmine says that they make some really good pizza and they have an offer of $1 per slice! I’ve never tried it and it’s really inexpensive, so I said “let’s go get a slice after we go find these overalls”.. Well we buy the overalls, walk into the Pizza Gallery and as Jasmine is ordering 2 slices of pepperoni and 1 hawaiian for my little sister, I’m admiring the artwork on the wall. There were a bunch of pizza-related illustrations drawn and painted on pizza boxes. Pretty freakin’ cool. Then I go to grab some cheese and crushed pepper to put on the pizza and the young guy (about my age) behind the counter goes “you should really draw something on the back of this pizza box” and hands me one…then he says “you’re Cullen right?” and I’m sure I had a shocked look on my face as I replied “yea, how do you know my name?”..he says “you go to Evergreen right?” and i said “yeah..” then he replies “I really like your art, you should take this”.. so I took it. Makes me happy to know that my art is known and admired even by people that I don’t know myself. I’m gonna turn that pizza box into a masterpiece. :D
Conversation
Today, the strongest relationship of my life strengthened a little bit more.
While eating dinner with my significant other, as well as walking her home, we had a meaningful, in-depth conversation that really helped me know her much better, by looking at her past and seeing everything that we have in common.
It’s really something special when you’ve been exhausted from so much walking, biking, running, staying up late to sketch for a while, as well as fun times with the ones you love.. and you STILL feel so wonderful after saying goodbye to the one you love most that you find the strength to run all the way back home just to text her as soon as you get inside. :)
Jasmine Hulse, you mean the world to me.
Favorite songs as of now
Today was another amazing day with my bestfriends -James, Nick & Tyler- and my girlfriend Jasmine :D
I had so much fun!
Rockband/Guitar Hero, Biking, Carnival, Dairy Queen, and more Rockband!
As usual, after the fun died down so did my mood…but along with my wonderful girlfriend’s kind words, this playlist right here helped resurrect my euphoria.
Check it out :)
Similarities
I’m sure there are many more, but here are some similarities between me and a certain someone. :)
We both have 2 freckles on one arm and a 1 freckle on the other.
We both share a passion for food, playgrounds, being close, video games, movies/tv, funny internet videos, good music, and God. :)
Oh, and we both think teachers parked at school during the summer just might be having an orgy.
kinda weird huh?
to be continued…
