Stephanie and I graduated from Brigham Young University. The weekend was filled with fun, family, and celebrations. Both of our families were in town, a party was held for the graduates (including Erin), and we began the strange goodbyes to 'college life,' the only life we've know outside of home.
It really was an exciting weekend, but the full force of it didn't come until the next week when we slept in as long as we wanted, then did nothing all day except apply to jobs. We now enter quite the strange unknown world of 'real life.'
Mostly my mind is random. Sometimes full of useful information, often... not. However 'Writing maketh an exact man' and so I will continue.

Where in the world is....
Today in my History of Creativity Class we discussed the Islam, and the Muslim explosion that took over the civilized world through the dark ages of Europe. We discussed how Spain was controlled by Muslims far into the middle ages and we learned of many of thier influences, one of which was The Alhambra, a palace/fortress built in the 14th century. I remembered/recognized it because of a computer game we used to play about the one and only, Carmen Sandiego. So, "many thanks for the food, now off we go to Fort Jesus."
The past week has represented a large change in my life. I find myself with a lot of extra time on my hands, and I also find myself, in some ways, more relaxed, open, care free, talkative oftentimes, and yet lonely all the same. I've begun a whole new socially experimenting me. It's hard to explain, but especially today and yesterday, I've been returning to a forgotten zone of flirting (something I was never good at) and seeking out social situations. I must admit there is a level of excitement, mostly adventure, not knowing what will happen at any given moment, and despite this exhilaration, I can't quite say it "just what I wanted." We shall see though what I do with this newly re-found freedom.

Elevator

It often seems that the darkness and sadness can last forever, even to the point it seems that perhaps life was meant to be that dark and dull and you become complacent in the misery. I am pleased to announce that it's not true! It just takes some time, sometimes you're only in the middle of the ride, but everything will be just fine, everything will be alright!!
I can't say I've been super sad recently, just content with a seemingly sub-par life. This past weekend though I had quite a wonderful couple of days, and I saw the light again of a joyous life. This is why I have thus decided to make the conscious effort of making my life move upward again, and hopefully be on top of it all by the end of the semester. If not, I'll sure have fun doing it :D

This is the start, of something new....
Oh my gosh, I'm doing it. Everyone please stand and applaud before I puke my guts out. I can hardly beleive that I'm actually starting a blog... Isn't it funny how people rub off on you in the strangest ways. I've met enough bloggers that I couldn't help myself, so here I am! Ahhh! I don't actually like to talk that much, nor am I much of a writer, and heck, with school keeping me so busy all the time I doubt I'll ever get much on here more than a sentence or two... but I feel like I'm ready to make that commitment and make an honest effort to make this bogg of somwhat meaning-ful-ness-ish...... :] Okay, so by way of introduction my name is Michael Murray, I'm a sophomore at Brigham Young University in Provo, UT. I grew up in a small town called Payson, UT althought I currently go home to my family in an even smaller town in Washington called Anacortes. I love the ocean, I love music, I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, I also love learning; these things put together are pretty much why I'm here at BYU studying. So I like to think a lot, and I'm excited to see how this all works out... thanks for reading.
