Its all apart of me....and thats who I am.

Published on October 16, 2004 By Joshua Price In Life Journals

I had a very interesting night, tonight at the mullet festival. People who know me, know what I am about. I am busy and success driven, even though I work all the time I don't really need to, I work out a lot to keep my body in top condition, I eat healthy so I feel good, and I am an over-achiever. All of these traits and more drive me to be the person that I am and if people don't like it, well.........I guess don't hang out with me. Proudly, this is the way that I was raised by my mother and step father and I take pride in this and represent the hard work they have put into me.

How this came up was tonight a bunch of friends that I was with were trying to get me to do things that aren't bad, but just aren't what I normally do. I did a few of these things just to show that I was flexible but they kept on making fun of me about the way I eat and do stuff. Not trying to be stuck up but I am in better physical shape than most people my age, my health is one hundred times better than most people my age, and already in my life I have achieved three fold what most can account for. Evidently I am doing something right if I am that much ahead. I have had countless girls say to me, "You are a wonderful person but I want someone who is not so busy with getting somewhere in thier life at this point." Well, I know there are girls out there that are looking for someone like me and I guess I'll just have to keep searching.

I also just realized that we all have our own weaknesses in our personal structure. The thing that scares me the most is being able to find the one that is right for me. Even though I am very pickie, I believe that there is one out there for me but I wish I could just go ahead and meet them now, so that we might go ahead and start developing a lasting relationship and be able to look upon this younger time in our lives and see just how far we have come. Even right now, I don't really want a deep committed relationship because I don't have the time or energy to spend, but ideally I want companionship from someone at this point. Someone that we can share our ups and downs, accomplishments and shortcomings, and even be able to experience the lessons of transitioning into the world together. Even being able to have a shoulder to lean on whenver you are down is nice every once in a while.

Best Wishes, Joshua Price

What a post. Seems like you are a very driven person, a go getter and thats good. You also seem to be overly proud and to me your priorites are screwed. Stop thinking about yourself. life isnt all about "me". If you don't, I swear at the end of the day you'll end up sad and lonely ( mabye not physicaly but emotionaly and spiritualy). It would be sad if a person who is a strong willed as you ended up that way.
Good luck

"Well, I know there are girls out there that are looking for someone like me and I guess I'll just have to keep searching."

At the risk of sounding trite or cliché, that is exactly what I am looking for. I find myself wanting to reject those pursuing me based on their education (or lack thereof), goals, and where they are in pursuing them. I want to say, "You are a wonderful person but I want someone who is getting somewhere in their life at this point." My mom thinks I should just enjoy the company of whomever when I have a spare moment, but I like to think that the gentleman is working as hard as I am while we are not together, not just waiting to talk to me, or the like. If they are not doing something with their life, what are they going to do with me?

Despite this common bond we may have, I do not believe that I am upper-caste enough for you. Enouh money to live economically comfortable, and enough power to speak my mind... but both are self-created. Everyone I know, the places I have been, have been through my own endeavors, not my parents. (Not saying yours are.) In fact, my mother meets people because of me. I have Jeff Miller recognizing my name and face, Don Amunds' cell phone, AmVets and Exchange Clubs that love me and support me in my endeavors. My whole highschool still knows me, and there was a time when I couldnt walk into any classroom without the younger set all calling my name. I leave a lasting impression on any OWC teacher who has ever had me. Okay, an impression on anyone.

... and that's who I am.

Time will not permit me to say any more, so I will talk to you later. Have a great day at work.
