Summer and moving on...

Seems like this summer has gone by ridiculously fast, I’ve had some great times and have made some decisions that will affect me for the rest of my life (for the better I hope). I’ve done more in the last 3 months than I have in the last 3 years and it’s been fuckin’ awesome. I stopped worrying about money so much, went back to school for another degree, and started accepting how fucking cool I am
(not as cool as Billy D. Williams….maybe as cool as Shaft)

Life is good, I got plenty of problems just like everybody else but there’s no point in letting them piss me off…I’ll get around to them eventually….someday….maybe. In the mean time I got plenty else to be happy about….plenty….this little spiel has nothing to do with the blog below but just felt like writing it….fuck you, it’s my blog.

Thing That is Dope: Moving On...

Back in 2006, I moved to Chicago with my Dad to study for the MCATs and as my dad would put it “straighten up….and develop better study habits, they are so so terrible Naveed terrible”. So I spent 10 months of my life studying 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and did pretty damn well on the MCATs considering I had yet to take a single science course. But I spent so much time worrying about what I’d miss here, I didn’t even take advantage of the fact that I was living in Chicago….in a condo in the middle of downtown no less! I was afraid to move on, afraid that everything would change when I came back to Phoenix. Did somethings change? Sure…but nothing that was important…I think this was the year Samee started growing a mustache but my best friends were still my best friends and Arizona was still hot as Satan’s ass. Within this summer I’ve seen lots of friends move on to bigger and better things, and I couldn’t be more proud of them.

Dimitri-my little bro in the frat, moving to San Diego for a duel MBA/J.D. program….if Plaxico Burress would have shot his fuckin’ leg off 5 years later, Dimitri would’ve gotten him off with a slap on the wrist, no jail time

Silvia-an amazing woman moving to California to go to FIDM and pursue her passion, I can’t think of anything more admirable.

Brenda-I’ve known Brenda for six years….and I’m still not sure what an occupational therapist does, but she’s amazing at it. My girl will be traveling all over the country to help people, I couldn’t think of a better job suited for her

James-I still don’t entirely understand James thought process and how he makes the life changing decisions he does, but he’s going to Mexico for 9 months (Alex says two weeks) and I couldn’t be happier for the big guy.

Jeff got an internship with the Astros so he’s moving to Houston, which I think is fucking awesome, not because I dislike the guy but because this is all I’ve heard him talk about since I met him…I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a GM or owner someday….he does look a little like jerry Jones.

Ivette-just got a job offer with Xerox and at 21 years old she’ll be making as much me, working half the amount (I’m not bitter) and I couldn’t be happier for her, there is a chance she may relocate to the eastcoast but it’s still such an amazing opportunity.

I often tell all of my friends that there probably won’t be another point in our lives when we can just get up and go. I love Phoenix, but there is so much the rest of the world can offer, why would you want to live in the same place for the rest of your life? Nothing will change when you’re gone, maybe Samee’s mustache will get bigger but that’s about it.
