24 hours spent having a damn good time with some damn good friends.

we ate, we drank, we shopped, we gambled,
we partied, we laughed, we yelled, we danced…
we lived and we won.

here’s to the good life - jl
 

three days ago, i texted austin if he wanted to go to vegas.
last night, marc booked a room at the cosmopolitan.
this morning, i decided to go.

tonight, this is where i shall be.

this weekend, it’s going down - jl 

the temperature is rising, the sun is getting brighter,
and the days are getting longer.

summer, i’ve missed you dearly.
let’s make plenty of cinematic moments this time around. 

“and that was the beginning of my heart spinning like 
these wheels in my head tonight.” - jl 

i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart).
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling).
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet).
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you.

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart…

the movie was amazing as expected.
IMAX in 3D was so worth it, especially for the climatic battle…
and for scarlett johansson.

last year, i was humbled and honored to be asked by paul sarmiento and neil dy to be their confirmation sponsor. this past weekend, they said made the choice to be Catholic by themselves. they said yes to a journey with the Holy Spirit; they said yes to a lifetime striving for Jesus Christ; they simply, yet profoundly, said yes to God. 

to my little brothers, i love you both. you make me so proud and happy to be Catholic, to be a man, to be alive. to be your sponsor and a witness to your confirmation is one of the greatest blessings of my life. i’m thankful for every moment with the two of you. i’m overjoyed that you have changed your lives through Christ. i smile knowing you’ve made your families happy. continue to live well and do good. be yourself, be better, be amazing, be Catholic.

i have no expectations for you two, only faith and hope.
be real…live and love admirably!
