I was looking for such kind of post since a long time to understand this topic in well manner. Now I am satisfied and got lots of thing after visiting this post.

Brodah i agree weezy has some weird similies, bt it does make a lotta sense. And more than quite a few of his songs are filled wid emotions and are very meaningful. Try the album rebirth for instance. And particularly the songs; 'paradice' , 'prom queen' , 'im single' among others. Im sure ul appreciate them...evn how to love is applaudable for his take on the topic.

Your post is too beautiful and I really impressed by this blog. Everything is fairly defined in this post. You should continue do this type of post. It’s enjoyable post.

2011-04-21T22:08:17.218-04:00

Of course he doesn't like to be compared to 2Pac! I even said in my post that making that comparison is unfair. Reading comprehension is good, by the way.

By the underground comment, are you saying that I need to listen to songs that he didn't put on one of his major CDs to find something meaningful? That doesn't do much to change my opinion... it just makes me think that his love of money is greater than his love of meaning, which I find more than a little disheartening.

I'll try to give that song a shot and see if he says anything that impresses me, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Either way, I'd be embarrassed to release songs with the lyrical blunders he had made. Again, hiding the songs that have meaning and/or make sense on underground mix tapes and tracks that are never released doesn't make sense to me. If he really does have meaningful tracks, how come the average radio listener doesn't get to hear them?

2011-04-21T19:57:09.534-04:00

Its unfair to use let it rock as a demonstration song thats not even his song.....try listenin to no ceilings carter 2 I am not a human being those metaphors make sense and are hilarious and some songs are there are meaningful....before judging somebody for the songs that come on the radio listen to his underground music and he says he's not tupac and doesnt want to be compared to him

OK Josh here is is a year after this post and I am reading it for the first time (sorry about that) And it was if you put the poem just for me. I needed to read that right now. Thank you so much and thanks for loving my sister and for still being a part of this crazy Wallace clan. I was really scared that we were gonna lose you too. Hunter & Ali & Maddie all love you so much. Uncle Josh is the coolest!!! lol

Thanks again,

Hey Josh. I was thinking of you today and decided to drop by. I hope you're doing well. I see that you're no longer a teacher. What are you up to?

2010-01-25T16:55:50.916-05:00

I just want to thank everyone for the prayers and encouragement... not only the comments here but also those that came through texts, Facebook messages, and chats.

Just to clarify... nobody has given me a hard time about any of this. I'm just posing some questions about who I am and trying to better figure it out. I find the concepts of identity and self-image quite interesting, which might have something to do with why I find counseling so compelling.

I'm just at one of those crossroads in life. Everything was pretty much set. I used to know exactly where I fit in, but now I'm kind of in limbo... not sure exactly how I fit anymore. And I'm not necessarily talking about fitting into social circles (although that's part of it too, I guess). I'm not sure how I fit into the world.

It's confusing, I know... dang it, I wish I could explain better...

2010-01-25T08:00:06.572-05:00

So I was on your blog catching up and while I was on this particular post Matt was reading over my shoulder. Two things he pointed out....NO IDEA you were UFC fan and he absolutely LOVES that. And the other one not so pleasant...In your 'Tarheels Newsbox' it says Wake hands 23rd ranked UNC third straight loss. Yeah he checked out when he saw that...it really disgusts him but nonetheless, he still watches, albeit gut wrenching.

2010-01-25T07:10:58.193-05:00

So I've tried posting this from my phone all night-- but for some reason it would only let me log in on the computer. So here goes:

I'm not real sure I have advice that would be considered profound by any means, but I can totally relate Josh. For the past year, I've I guess you could say that I have identified myself as the girl who lost her best friend. Yes, I know it is no comparison to your loss because by the grace of God I still had my husband to turn to. But the things I have faced both physically and mentally (and even emotionally) since March, Jenni and I would have talked through and we would have worked together on them. We had gotten so accustomed to spending so much time with the two of you, it is almost like I had to learn to live again in the past 10 months. When we all moved from Western, I experienced the same feelings but you guys where just a phone call away. Sadly, she isn't a phone call away anymore. There are days that I have just cried and cried because I am lonely without her. Not that my husband isn't enough (by all means I have learned to treasure him more through all of this) but there are times where girls need other girls. It's just when things in life become so natural- not necessarily routine- that when they are no longer there, its almost like learning how to walk again. I praise the Lord each day for this miraculous level of strength that I have found through Him. From where I stand today, I finally feel like I am beginning to crawl through life again. I'm not sure how long it will take me to get back to walking through the days, but I'm not giving up hope and I'm not forgetting the person who has impressed a lot upon me. I don't think your feelings are unhealthy, rather I think they are completely natural. I wonder if that friend at work has lost someone close to them, and if so-- how close of a relationship they had. Many years of your life were spent with Jen and caring for her in ways that even when you were dating-- most people didn't have to do. Each day I wish we could get back into our old routines or make new ones (so we didn't feel like there was as big of a void)... something that once again seems regular in this chaotic mess we call life. I thank the Lord that the strength you have shown in the past months. I know you didn't see how you could live past March, but you have. There may be times even today that you are still numb, but you are making progress. You will know in your heart when it is time to change anything. I love you Cuz, and am here for you for whatever.

2010-01-25T05:49:16.948-05:00

To build on what our boy Quim said, there are 3 things that make a person who they are: the relationships they have with people; the experiences (good or bad) that we go through; and the environments we reside in, for whatever length of time. All people are different from one another because none of us have the EXACT same mixture of these. This past year, and the struggles that it has brought, have permanently defined who you are as a person. IT IS A PART OF YOU IN THE SAME WAY ANY SUCH PHYSICAL BODY PART IS. You can in no way just simply overlook this. It would be like trying to ignore that you have a right hand, or a liver. Jenni's death IS you. And if people can't accept that you struggle with that, then forget them. It is a perfectly logical, perfectly NORMAL thought process that you are going through.
However, if you need Val or myself for anything please let us know. After all, we are changed by this just as you were, lacking severity. Valerie lost her best friend; and I watched my best friend lose his wife, and my wife lose her best friend. I could tell you had been distancing yourself lately, but I thought it was something I had done, so I apologize. Again, if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. May God continue to bless you, and we love you.

2010-01-25T03:29:00.114-05:00
I don't know if that will help you much, but I though it could. Besides, I don't know if I have enough authority to post this in here, so I'm very sorry if that bothers you in any way.

In Spain there was a writer and philosopher called José Ortega y Gasset. One of their most famous statements was: "I'm me and my circumstances". That meaning that everyone sees reality through their own perspective. So when an live impact make a change in your perspective also change the way you see yourself and the rest of the world. That's not bad at all (I think), but I also think that while you acquire new experiences (new circumstances) they will slowly change you as well.
After all that brick, what I'm trying to say is "let the world surrounds you. Learn and grow. Our experiences make what we are".

WOW I have no words of advice but I just wanted to say I (for lack of a better word) enjoyed reading your latest entry. It was insightful and heartfelt and I was very touched. I admire your courage and hope that some day soon it won't be so "complicated" for you. I think of you often and pray you are well

Josh, congratulations on your acceptance to L-R! I am not suprised, but I am glad that you got in. I know how you work and you will be able to handle those classes with no problem. Your advisor doesn't know you like we do. I've been thinking about you and Jenni a lot lately. Working with kids does have its perks and you showed one of them in your blog. Although they may have bad circumstances, etc. they do have good hearts. I'm praying for you. If you get by this way stop by and see us. Love ya! Take care of yourself! MK
