Everything

Hey Party People,

I'm in an unexpectedly good mood all of a sudden. I have no idea why! Just hit me out of no where. Maybe it's the good music i'm listening too. (not just offspring).

Many have proclaimed this the Year of John. Everything just seemed to be going my way this year. Scholarship, FA President, FDIC Payed Internship, Great GPA, the works! I will always remember 2010 as the year of John, and I thank all of you who helped me get here.

As many of you know, this month has beaten me down to my core. From battling the hardest subject matter in school i've ever faced to fighting the political system in FA it has been rough. I reached a new level of stress I did not know existed. This level transpired from mental to physical pain. How could this happen in the Year of John!? However it happened, I have had much time to reflect on it now that it is all over.

My surprisingly good mood and reflection has reminded me of my most appropriate senior year high school quote: "If you can overcome the stress, you can overcome anything." Truth be told, I have no idea where I came up with that and why I came up with that. Even when I wrote it I thought it sounded weird. Now I'm glad I did. It's almost as if something inside me knew I would be facing a major stressful situation in the future and I needed to write this quote years in advance to give me the guidance. Back to the future.

All I can say is I got through the pain. As Vinay would say, "You are like Jerry Seinfeld, everything just works out for you." I don't know if I agree with that completely, but I see some truth in it. Whenever something bad happens to me, something good follows it later. Destiny always has a plan I guess.

Again, I don't know why I am in a good mood. I am heading for some major school and work decathlons. This week begins it all. But I am not going to let that ruin this mindset. I have learned from this semester and It has only made me stronger. Never ruin a good thing, never let an opportunity pass you by.

Now I must end the ramble of my thoughts. It was a good ramble that just sort of spewed out and connected itself together one way or another. I made a little detour from typing to whip this little number up really quick:



I thought my post needed a little art work for the aesthetic-ness of it all. The graph is a rough sketch of the peaks and troughs of the year of John, as fast as I could remember it as a time line.

I hope you enjoyed this Post by Johnny K aka the Tankmaster. See you at new-years.

See Ya!
