To become one with the Force.

To finally find that separate peace away from the rest of the world.

To gratefully be able to sit down, relax and hear the thoughts in your head.

My senior year in high school has been one wild Reek ride. More often than not, I find myself up till midnight or later, plugging away at some crazy problem pertaining to the natural force of a crate sitting at a 30 degree angle and hoping to calculate the coefficient of friction. Perhaps other times, I find myself entrenched in a looping sine graph or my nose buried within the confines of Catch-22. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love knowledge and learning. But, only to a certain point.

Then, there's the balance of clubs and organizations, a small tutoring job that I would love to blog about and sports. And, somewhere amidst all of the madness lies the inevitable quest for college. What's a boy to do?

I'm disappointed that I have not poked around hear as I used to and if even for myself, taken the time to relax, pour out some thoughts and relish in the greatest galaxy in the universe. I miss it.

But, school and the never ending demands of life press further. For now, I have decided to go on hiatus. Probably most people think as they read this, "Well, sho', I never even knew this guy existed anyhow...!" And, more than not, that's true. But, I really did enjoy just having the opportunity to poke around the blogs (this is my first time here in MONTHS!) and release some of my own steam. And, if for nobody else, this is for me. To keep that mental post it note to someday return to this wonderful community. So, for now, Qui-Gon has found the scintilatting red point of a lightsaber protruding from my torso. Yet, as we all know, nobody whom we love and care for are really gone. Just as Qui-Gon achieved his higher power, perhaps someday too I will find some solace in my life to return to blogging.

May the Force be with you...always.
