For the past year or so, I decided that I would try starting my own website (www.lonnie-smith.com). It was fun, and exciting for a while. But after the initial awesomeness of designing a website, it begins to be just another blog. So I decided that I would save a few bucks and return to the tried and true blogger blog thing I had going on. So here we go!
get excited.

I So Hate Consequences
It seems that I have been neglecting my blog lately. There is nothing new about that though.

Ramblings on Relationships Pt. 1
Relationships are funny things. The subject of relationships have been thrown in our faces so much the past few weeks with Valentine's Day being this past Saturday and all. So of course all the focus is put on romantic relationships. I suppose they are important. There are so many relationships that we build all the time, with everyone in our lives. Often times we have a pretty skewed view on different relationships. Friendships become competitions, romantic relationships become engrossed in materialistic ideal, pride destroys family bonds; the list could go on and on forever. We as humans drop the ball in the relationship department.

Plug in Baby
What a day this has been. It started much earlier than days should. Six thirty just isn't good for me. But no matter, I got up and packed the car, kissed my mother and sister goodbye, and set off for Clemson. Saying goodbye, for me at least, is hard every time. Now it is much easier to deal with, but it is still difficult.

Nostalgiatopia
I guess being going off to college is kind of a big deal. Its a big step in life. I guess it is normal that as you reach different pinnacles in life you not only learn more an more new things about yourself, but you also take a lot more time to sit back and reflect on where you have been; all that you have been through.

The Mesopotamians
There are some things in life that you just never get over. Personally, the fact that every morning I wake up in the place I've dreamed of since i was four blows me away everyday. Like right now, I can just make my way to a nearby window and see Death Valley. How cool is that? And the people here are just amazing. All the new friends, and new experiences I've been able to share with those people, it is almost surreal sometimes. When I go home, I can go home to a family that loves me, and whom I love. To a church that everyone knows my name. To a place that loves me. Now when I go back I am going back to an absolutely amazing girl. There are just so many things in my life that, ten years ago, I would have never thought i would have had. Goodness, even a device made of metal and a little plastic is holding like over 6,000 songs that i can listen to absolutely anywhere. It is so amazing.
