“All that I need is this moment. To send me away with a smile on my face…”

Each day, we all do it. We all go on in total disregard for how lucky each one of us are for the life we have been given. There is no price tag that can be put on living and being healthy. What saddens me most is the people whom are consumed by greed and fail to uphold the basic values of life. What is humanity? Aren’t we much of the same?So many people fail to realize how lucky they are.

This entry is a response to some news a friend told me. Last night he confided in me about a debilitating disease he inherited genetically. There is no cure. At first, I was a bit confused on why he told me and I asked him today why? He said “Because you’re a friend whom has medical knowledge and you’re somebody I can count on to talk to and help emotionally. You’re somebody whom would understand the severity and be able to sympathize because most people don’t or can’t”. From the moment he said that to me I broke down into tears. Very similar to how rain dances in the beginning stages of a unexpected summer storm in a field on a hot day. I knew from all my previous studies and medical background that he was going to die. I wanted to tell him not to worry and not to be scared but how could I say that? I had no clue what he was facing. The thought of my any mother burying their child is an indescribable and such a heartfelt task that nobody can say anything relative to feelings or emotions in a comforting manor. The only thing I knew to say is ” I will always be here for you. 1 mile or 10,000 miles away. I want to come visit you soon… We don’t even have to talk about it unless you want to. We can go to dinner and take the ferry somewhere fun away from life. I promise you to come see you soon. I get away from life often. I can show you how much fun it can be to let go and forget about everything besides right now. That moment.”

So today as I look out my window, I cannot help but think of you. The sky is gray and the rain is falling. The temperature is 56 degrees and falling. I am crying yet again but I have a smile on my face. I don’t believe I will ever cry in front of you because I know you’re scared. I know it’s not fair. I know that it’s going to hurt and you feel all alone. But I want you to know this. Know this if anything that i’m smiling because you have me and I promise to be there for you. I promise from the bottom of my heart that I WILL make you smile when I see you soon. For this I promise you, for it is all I can do. I wish I could do so much more and be the answers and cure that you seek.

Everyone else, take a step back now. Call your parents, siblings, boyfriends, girlfriends, friends, even co-workers and tell them how thankful you are to have them in your life. Tell your close relatives and family how much you love them. In regards to the holidays? Keep remembering how lucky you are to be alive, healthy, and well. Remember that money is paper and that happiness comes from within. Remember how great it is to give than get and that while everything else can be replaced, you however cannot.

((this one is my favorite by the way. It’s known as the Shepherds Prayer. I know it by heart and you may find it comforting to know and just say to yourself at times.))

Psalm 23:

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear AT&T,

I am writing you in regards to the service you have failed to provide. My name is Adam and I have been a Cingular/AT&T subscriber since March of 2002. Since the merging of AT&T and Cingular, cellular service and customer service have declined substantially. From sitting with my head against a window while having a conversation, to having full coverage while still loosing the connection with the other party, your service only continues to decline. Unfortunately, I would like to inform you that during the upcoming year, I do not plan to renew my contract and continue utilizing the service that you fail to provide. On another note, I would also like to inform you that many other of your dedicated customers have confided to me much of the same problems and plan on discontinuing their service as well in 2010. Your services are no longer competitive with other cellular networks. I can assure you that Apple does not wish or plan to renew it’s contract with AT&T in this coming year due to dropped calls, software limitations, and other restrictions made possible by AT&T. I am not ecstatic to leave you AT&T because I have been with you for such an extended amount of time, but when is enough, enough? You claim to be the fastest 3G network in america while verizon wireless is currently in the lead with both speed and coverage. A common misconception is that Verizon is much more expensive, but as of recently their prices have become very completive with you’re very own. I am sorry for leaving you but I am absolutely tired of dropped calls and poor service.

Sincerely,

Adam Haskin

Nickel Creek - Lighthouse Tale

I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves
I keep my lamp lit to warn the sailors on their way
I’ll tell a story, paint you a picture from my past
I was so happy but joy in this life seldom lasts

I had a keeper, he helped me warn the ships at sea
We had grown closer ‘til his joy meant everything to me
And he was to marry a girl who shown with beauty and light
They loved each other, and with me watched the sunsets into nights

And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been and what can never be

She’d had to leave us; my keeper, he prayed for a safe return
But when the night came, the weather to a raging storm had turned
He watched her ship fight, but in vain against the wild and terrible wind
And me so helpless, as dashed against the rocks she met her end

And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been and what can never be

Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face, and that they’d be together soon he swore
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand
Then he climbed my tower, and off the edge of me he ran

And the waves crashing around me
The sand slips out to sea
And the winds that blow remind me
Of what has been and what can never be

I am a lighthouse worn by the weather and the waves
And though I’m empty I still warn the sailors on their way

This is one of my favorite songs =)

So for those of you who know me or actually read my blog, you may know that recently I got my heart broken by a boy named Brandon Tucker. However, you may be unaware of some of the “behind the scenes” actions I did for him before and shortly after out breakup. This post relates to one of them that came true…

Back in July after Brandon and I ended things, I decided to visit my friend Aric for a week in Santa Barbara, CA. Brandon had been on my mind much of the trip and I had it in my mind that things would work out when the fall semester came 2 weeks later. The week passed quickly and shortly before I knew it, I was sitting at a bar in the Los Angeles Airport. My non-stop flight back to Orlando had been delayed 3 hours and I had some time to kill. Shortly after sitting down, a man joined me. He was quite handsome and looked to be somewhere in his late 20’s early 30’s. Not long after sitting down next to me, he struck up a conversation with me and asked me, “What’s the matter kiddo?”. I was hesitant to begin talking to some guy I didn’t know because I had been drinking a little but it didn’t stop me. I wasn’t ashamed of what had happened nor was I embarrassed. I replied to the man, “I got my heart broken, as cliche as that may sound”. I was worried to what he would say next but he reassured me that things will be ok and that if it’s meant to be, that it’ll happen. He told me that he had gotten his heart broken recently too and cheersed his vodka cranberry against mine. I had no idea who this person was but I liked him. He was a complete stranger who had given me the time of day and still reassured me that everything would be ok.

After talking abit more, I discovered that he worked for E somewhere/somehow. I then proceeded to tell him how I use to love watching Chelsea Handler on Chelsea Lately. I also told him that I stopped watching her because my ex held me when we’d watch her either on the couch or the bed (Vodka is flowing by now and I really am not sure if this guy is gay or not. Turns out he wasn’t btw). I also mentioned to him that just the month before, we both bought her book “Dear Vodka, It’s me Chelsea” and had begun reading it together but, I put it down after things ended between us. The man stared at me for a second and asked me “why?”. I didn’t really have an answer for him except that she made me sad. (ok so remember that the vodka is still flowing by now). So out of a crazy whim, I asked him that if I wrote her a letter if he’d try and give it to her for me? He was hesitant but because he had gotten his heart broken recently, he accepted and I began to tap away on my computer. I wrote:

Dear Chelsea,

My name is Adam Haskin and I am writing to you because I am heartbroken. I fell in love with my best friend and about a month ago, we called it quits after dating a 1yr and 6mo. While we were together we would always watch your show in each other’s arms. We both purchased your book “Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea” and began reading it together. I am only a 20yr college student but understand how rare it is to love somebody and have them love you in return. I blame myself for much of the fighting we endured over the course of time mostly because I slowly sank into depression. I just want another chance to prove I am a better man now. Although I am not as close to you as “Chewy”, I do know that you understand what it’s like to be loved and to love somebody in return.

I also understand that you are very busy but it would mean so much to me if you could mail me an autographed copy of your book mentioning “Brandon Tucker”. I know again you are very busy and may be unable to fulfill this request but it would mean more than anything in the world to me. His birthday is at the end of this September and it would be the best gift he or I could ever ask for. I just want another chance with my “Polar-bear”(Brandon Ray Tucker) because my “Booger-bear” heart is very much broken.

Sincerely,

Adam C. Haskin

I quickly printed it from a print shop in the terminal directly across from the bar we had been sitting at. As it printed, a young lady smiled at me and asked me if I would like an envelope. I smiled ever so big and accepted her offer and quickly walked back across the terminal hall. The man I had been talking with took my letter and said, ” I can’t promise you anything. I can’t even promise I will be able to even get it to her because it’s a very large company but, he said he’d try his hardest. He told me to cheer up and try and not be so sad and that if nothing comes. I completely understood and honestly acted like it was cool and that it would never happen…

From the moment I got home from California I checked the mail. I would go at the same time, 3:00pm every day just in time to catch my mail lady “Kelly” to ask her if I had gotten anything before opening my box… 2 months passed and Brandon’s birthday soon passed too. I continued to check the mail until Wednesday of that week, when Brandon finally left on his trip to Maryland. I knew it was dumb to ever think that The Chelsea Handler would ever write me. Just another fan in a pile of 3841390 letters. The week continued on though into the weekend and eventually on into today. I had given up on hearing anything from her. I had given up on my boyfriend who I loved so very much. I had given up on school and many other things.

As the rain began to fall today, I ran out to my car to close the sunroof. While standing in the rain, I thought it’d be dandy to pick up whatever bills or junk mail that had begun accumulating in the small little metal mailbox. As I inserted my key and opened it, to my surprise was a vanilla envelope. Ecstatically, I ran back to my apartment and opened it to read what had been enclosed. As I tore the edge off and pulled out another copy of her book “Dear Vodka, It’s me Chelsea”, something came over me. I quickly flipped to the first page thinking that, “maybe, just maybe he’ll give me another chance. maybe this boy will see how much I do for him and how much I love him. He’ll love this gift. It’s so perfect and unique that no gift could ever be better….”

….

“Brandon Tucker can Suck it!” —Ch

———

bahahaha! I wasn’t sure if I was happy or sad at first but quickly found that I was happy that even Chelsea knows how dumb he is.

Thank you Chelsea. =)

-Adam-
