Before you get judgmental and questioning my choice in videos you must read on.  Even though this song has been around since 1999, I just recently discovered it and I really like it.  I just graduate of West Virginia University with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering.  Even though this song is talking about middle school or high school graduation, it still has parts that apply to any momentous point in time and other parts that should apply throughout life in general.  One of the latter aspects is heard in the lines about how we keep thinking that times will never change when in fact they have to.  That is the natural progression of God’s plan for us. He knows what our future is and gives us glimpses of it occasionally, we can always look back on our past, both the good memories and the tough ones, and because of those two factors, the present really is a present to us.  Some of that living in the present also means going for what you are seeking and even wearing your heart on your sleeve.  I’m not saying to go about whatever it is without thinking about it or praying about it but in most situations, what do you really have to loose?  Pride? phesh, give me a break.  Now as far as being friends forever, I would like to believe that but I know that it isn’t always true.  People come and people go and you never know when you may run into them again but by then you’re probably more of an acquaintance than an actual friend.  Don’t ditch everyone, hold on to those closest to you and fight hard to maintain those connections.  Every single person that has come into your life has been there for a reason and you were in theirs for a reason a well, whether or not we ever realize what those reasons are.  One final motive that this song has been sticking with me is the underlying melody is based on Pachelbel’s Canon and I really am drawn to anything that sounds like it.  Now you are free to judge however you want to.

Since the overall theme of this post is graduation, below are some pictures that my great aunt and great uncle took at my graduation in December.

Hope you have enjoyed them and my insight into a “pop” song.  Until next time, Ciao! Ciao!
