It will be a look at the path to recovery, my progress accompanied with a plunge into the depths of spirituality.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.comBlogger24125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-39402275374968690872012-02-15T15:43:00.002-05:002012-02-15T16:05:39.137-05:00UpdateGood day family it has been to long since my last post on blog spot. Whenever I attempt to construct a post I have this overwhelming feeling of humility that prevents me from <em>bragging</em> about current endeavors. For now I will subside this emotion and allow arrogance to flow freely from my finger tips.<br /><br />My life at this moment is at a phase of personal growth, I quit my job in October at the drug treatment centre. I did this to embrace a much larger opportunity. My old College teacher asked me to open a private practice, in which he would surpervise me. He sends over students who wish to resolve personal issues and pursue greater enlightenment into themselves. My teacher remains a great influence in my personal and professional life.<br />Academically I am finishing up my first year attaining my BA in Thanatology (study of death and bereavement) at Western University. This course has been an amazing experience, it is constantly reminding me that I am on the path to something greater.<br />Accompanying my academic studies at Western University, I am enrolled with the Gestalt Institute of Psychotherapy to become a psychotherapist. This has been an incredibly enlightening journey. It is by far one of the most challenging things I have ever done.<br /><br />Aside from these two endeavors I am still studying the Greek Language and just recently graduated level two. I am now in level three in which fluency is stressed. I can read Greek very well and my writing is coming along. I am also continuing my studies into mythology and have a greater interest then ever before.<br /><br />I am still studying the pan flute which is approaching three years now, I have been contemplating learning the lyre next.<br /><br />I am still on a quest for my spirituality and meditate religiously. I still study ancient writing systems and runeology. I also have been investigating the great Greek philosophers and plan on pursuing this academically when I find the time.<br /><br />That is the end! I will write again in several months.<br />I wish you all the bestPrince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-22701704961245049892011-08-09T18:12:00.003-04:002011-08-09T18:19:35.017-04:00Greetings everyoneDear family;
<br />
<br />It has been a long time since my last post, I still feel apprehensive about writing about myself in a bragging manner. Since my last post a fair bit has changed, I still work as a counsellor at a long term treatment centre. I am still pan fluting, studying the greek language,mythology, runeology, spiritual practices, meditation and expanding my horizons in my personal studies. The main reason for my blog is to say that I am now going to university, my short stay in the field has driven me to pursue even deeper the troubles that haunt people and addicts. I am now enrolled at Western for a year program in grief and bereavement counselling, after which I plan on puruseing a 3 year degree in psychotherapy.
<br />It is amazing tracing the paths of life and seeing where the lead you. A very wise man and good friend advised me once " do you know why the gods don't tell you what your going to do next" "Because you wouldn't do it". Such true words echo the corners of my mind at this time.

I am writing this to update everyone on my life and all of the new aspects of my life. 3 Months ago I scored the most amazing and suiting job that I could ever ask for. My job is at the longest and most hardcore treatment centre in all of North America. My job consists of very intense counselling, groups and running a farm in between. I could not imagine a better job not only do I call people on there shit all day but I work with farm animals and tend to the 100 acre farm.<br />Another aspect of my life I integrated 8 months ago was learning Greek as a second language. It is a long road ahead but it is well worth it. My first exam in translating I received 93%, my teacher is very impressed with me and my dedication. Along worth learning Greek as a second language I continue to study Greek mythology. I find Greek mythology very intellectually stimulating and as relevant in this century as it was when it was written.<br />I am still pan fluting religiously and just recently purchased a new instrument. It is incredible it has 22 pipes and is a testament to my growth as a musician. <br />I am still learning ancient writing systems and remain dedicated in deciphering ancient carvings of the Norse people.<br />I still meditate religiously on a quest of self discovery and spiritual guidance. This has proven to be difficult in attaining some level of self discipline and enlightenment. Meditating is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">definitely</span> one of the more challenging aspects of my life as it requires a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">different</span> kind of perseverance. The gym now seems easy compared to the mental discipline I go through.<br /><br />Looking at my life is a very humbling experience in seeing how far I have travelled in such a short time. My life is at a wonderful phase and I am very fortunate for everything and everyone in it. I am someone all to aware of the ups and downs that life has to offer. However I look to the future optimistically and welcome it with open arms. If life is experienced in contrast and I am someone who has seen and felt the absolute lowest possible emotions; this has granted me the sincere gift of feeling happiness and joy at such heights.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-74246134857712181432010-06-15T16:51:00.003-04:002010-06-15T17:00:31.786-04:002010 CLASS VALEDICTORIANSo I was elected 2010 Valedictorian of the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">entire</span> campus. they said due to my marks, motivation, compassion, and life story etc. they want me to represent the whole campus. I am a little overwhelmed and caught by surprise. So much has happened in teh last few days.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-67241657635520157432010-06-14T17:22:00.003-04:002010-06-14T17:38:45.510-04:00Follow Your PathSince initiating my recovery my life has been filled with many obstacles that I have overcome due to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">creativeness</span> of my intuition. I have been nominated for <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">valedictorian</span> to represent the whole College on July 7<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">th</span>. I had aimed to be valedictorian of just my class but it seems I have demonstrated such leadership that many want me to represent the complete graduating school. I must admit that modesty is something I have tried to practice in the last few years but this is a tremendous feather in my hat. I have found it difficult to blog for the last while because I do not feel like boasting in any way. The main reason for me writing this blog is to inform everyone of even better news then before mentioned. After my internship I was offered a job at the treatment centre. It was rather simple phone duties, evening and night shifts, not the really hardcore stuff. I declined and followed my intuition as I new there was better waiting for me then this. Many tried to tell me to just start <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">at a</span> desk somewhere but I declined. I then saw a posting to be one of the leading counsellors at the longest term treatment centre in all of Canada. My intuition was burning and I new it was for me. After three interviews one which was 6 hrs i played the waiting game for 4 weeks. Many times my faith was tested but I remained true. Today I got the call that we would be meeting at the negotiating tables cause the job was mine. I would say I am rather surprised and excited but I new sometime ago that it was mine. It has been said that if prayer is how we speak to the gods, then intuition is how they speak back. I am one who <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">truly</span> believes this. Well that's it for me now, I will try to blog more often and try to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">alleviate</span> those feelings of bragging.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-24580939159898242692010-06-07T14:26:00.007-04:002010-06-07T15:38:13.677-04:00Last Lady StandingIn one of my many random thoughts, I stumbled upon the great question of who would win? In an ultimate showdown of Nemesis's, rivals and vendettas. Where the very question of loyalty, strength, courage and honour are at stake. Were your very existence is put to the test between your bitterest foe's. Who would remain or better yet who would want to remain after the clash of pure wills. In a world where nothing is certain except death, who would have the courage to welcome his cold hands early? Who would leave behind everything they love, to put their mortality in the hands of the gods!!!!! I myself shudder when I think of the bloodthirsty contestants who will grace the field. I pose the question who would win between Cheryl, Susan, Vicki and Wendy. You must answer why and how the fight would unravel as well. I encourage you all to allow your minds to venture into the dark side and answer the question WHO WOULD BE LEFT STANDING?? <div><div><div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480104985509652082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHuOWd0KKwP03FBYdXLxdqcdatj7gwDUQWrrFRHuJP78CMxkU_fQ6xvr1f6nF4JzSOUXC3tlxe4VkA0Cr8WMR0C6P09xPUTBi7Ljy8Rm-pVB-fAyUWBPNNtQcl_OwQ2AcioMEAlm1mEVE/s320/wendy.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 97px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480106730059900082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhej_Htt6IlbAzFt7qlXXi7lWds_LVDoGI1vycokjvmfbUFpEQ9ZiLguioKhkGuxlF6i1PJtkiKVz6VHTQyPxHmVmmOIpfbdwY9YQ_8TOMctMaDk7Eg9LryLLxvKgtZn3w6YUNgquJp70/s320/cheryl.bmp" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 241px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 144px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480106166395681058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBjRqqPlrLdqiV4vQDCj_EgSf6NFRu3QuB_qBvvZN2h9ACIe7gZVHDrvHZducZ-lZvRiolWb1XWicMie9jOnxCijKLRrUurwlhjSpDqFZR2DXaSDGa8YhbJ_riz_bnOsFGjwmOxi3fF-U/s320/susan.bmp" /> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 90px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480105221980599186" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSpxMicnn5guDya4OJ2KLCLMQIf1mn5EyNeny_L403c3EcLeTsubO80Y3qTwkY1m5tLHijyxwIG9b6TA29Y07nRsWHOxkp6BTlMAMlxqKwqm1wIxT7A6EqD08zEC9x2pxmbW5xragxEcg/s320/vicki.bmp" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-61238201775228309312010-02-26T08:46:00.003-05:002010-02-26T09:00:05.305-05:00Latest updateI realized I have been slacking lately and due to the cancellation of a meeting I was blessed with the day off. My internship is going better then first anticipated I have built such strong rapport with the majority of the clients. Several of the clients request me for one on ones and to facilitate groups and classes. I have done everything in my power to enable the best for these men in their recovery as I am sure they know. I have decided to continue my education in the addiction field in the future in the mean time I am researching Aaron Becks work (Cognitive therapy) and Carl Jung. I have been left so thirsty for knowledge to the neglect of personal growth throughout my years of active addiction. <br />I have been soaking up all the experience provided to me at my placement like a sponge. I value everything there both good and bad. I have involved myself in <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">every way</span> possible from directing <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">activities</span> for the guys to tackling and challenge presented to me. <br /><br />Outside of my placement I have still been <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">pursuing</span> my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">vigorous</span> exercise, I just had to tweak the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">schedule</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">alittle</span> bit. I am still learning ancient writing systems and digging into as much mythology as possible. I have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">continued</span> to <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">pan flute</span> religiously and look forward to our next family jam. My poetry is on hold somewhat but I still write every few weeks.<br /><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">That's</span> all I can think of for now.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-9140444658187339202009-12-22T08:31:00.003-05:002009-12-22T08:36:50.303-05:00Final CompSo I wrote my final comp yesterday, the end mark on the exam was 93%. I was hoping for 100% but oh well. I have been informed however there are some judgemental people on here who assume <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">deceit</span> and false information on my blog. As crazy as this may sound to some of you, I was informed of a certain someone with nothing better to do then fish for information and be very nosy and rude. I would appreciate it if <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">this certain</span> someone would stay off of my blog until they do some serious growing up.<br />Today I have my placement interview as well.

Everyone threw me a huge party which was very emotional. Jon (my teacher) and my classmate Deb sang some songs to me and we had a huge pot luck. I pulled off 100% on my exam which was a good way to go out with a bang. I am going into my final federal comprehensive exam with a 97% overall average. Which is amazing I am told. Seeing I am top in the class I have been offered two placements already at to of the most well known Rehabilitation centre's and now there in a bidding war over me LOL. When I got into this field I new I would do good however I had know idea I would do this good. I write the final on Dec 21, I am alittle nervous as it is 6 hrs. wish me luckPrince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-71552554191102762292009-11-25T11:16:00.002-05:002009-11-25T11:26:04.605-05:00UpdateIt's been along time since I wrote a blog, I guess I have just been emerged in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">routinely</span> hectic operations of my life. I decided to write a blog to update those who were curious as to how my progression on my journey has been unfolding. School is almost done I write the final federal exam Dec, 21 which I am already studying for while working away at my current course. I have been averaging 95% all the way up to 98% for the last several months. With the rate I have been obsorbing my education keeping it congruent with my hard efforts I am well on my way to being <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">valedictorian</span> of my class in June. I am still my teachers little prodigy and I am sure he <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">See's</span> the light that shines with in me that will act as a beacon for several lost souls. Outside of school I am still pan fluting daily and have made great progress. I have continued to read at an <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">extremely</span> fast rate. I am currently reading The Iliad by Homer which I am thoroughly enjoying and I have continued my studies in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Runeology</span>. I'm not sure how many people know this but several months ago I became <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">abscessed</span> with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Runology</span> and ancient writings. I am currently learning Icelandic, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Scandinavian</span>, and Anglo Saxon runic carvings. Other then what I have listed I continue to grow and look to the future. With my plans unfolding properly I should begin my placement in January.<br /><br />My physical fitness is also incredibly and I am maintaining my 6 days a week of training on top of my busy <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">schedule</span>. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">That's</span> all for now.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-1423652840834562532009-10-19T08:58:00.001-04:002009-10-19T08:59:48.550-04:00Christmas<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">OK</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">here's</span> what I'm thinking.

This time to avoid some trouble I was wondering if auntie <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Wendy</span> would take pride in supplying everyone with the music? I was thinking about 3 <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Xmas</span> songs maybe. We will all be together at grandmas and grannies so if Mrs G wants she can use her piano. Now we just need to figure out what songs to play. and hopefully Grannie will join in on the fun at <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Xmas</span>. I promise to be <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">gentle</span> :).<br />any suggesions on songs?Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-86948951122631590192009-09-08T19:56:00.002-04:002009-09-08T20:02:11.278-04:00Public SpeakingToday was the first of a long journey. Today I started with my first of many puiblic speaches about my life. It truly was a great experience I did a college in Brampton and one in Mississauga. I never realized how unique and intense my personal story is. The students absolutly loved and appreciated what I have been through and that I was willing to share. I'm sure it was a learning experience for them as well as myself. i did poetry readings and had several conversations with the students. I was blessed with many heartfelt complements and truly have grown alot in one day. Several other Colleges are intrested in hearing me speak and some asked if I would be intrested at speaking at some high schools.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-72302824814700559372009-08-17T07:45:00.002-04:002009-08-17T07:56:39.975-04:00UpdateSo today I have been clean for 6 months and 1 day. I haven't blogged for awhile so figured I would drop in to tell everyone whats new. I'm still doing great in school, time has been going by so quick due to the speed of my life. I have slowed down on my personal reading due to the excess amount of reading I have for my schooling. However I still try to get a chapter in a night.

So <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">that's</span> pretty much all that is new just been going with the flow.

I discussed with my mom if she would be willing to learn auld <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">lang</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">syne or greensleeves on the guitar. Then I got to thinking if other family members would be willing to learn there parts as well. I was thinking auntie Wendy could play violin. Granny on the banjo or harmonica. and Uncle Ken with whatever he wants as I heard he's a genious with instuments. Lisa on her flute. and Grandma on the piano. To top it off Melissa volunteered to play the old whiskey jug. If anyone else can play and wants in let me no on blog. Also let me know what song or if u have a suggestion for another song</span>Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-59266408940396441522009-07-22T07:45:00.002-04:002009-07-22T07:52:11.386-04:00New HobbyEver since beginning my journey in recovery I have made substantial changes to my once routine life. I have recently calmed down on my readings as I was getting to far ahead of myself. I also bought a dirt bike a week ago, to nurture some of my destructive behaviors. Well the latest <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">edition</span> is quit contrary to what I am use to. I recently began learning to play the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Pan flute</span>. I <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">figured</span> with all of the years and experience blowing into beer bottles it would be very simple to begin to master this instrument. However I was wrong it proves to be much more difficult then blowing into a jug, but with my new found drive and determination in life, I believe I should be able to master this wonderful <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">instrument</span> rather quickly.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-42361238731047451022009-07-13T20:25:00.006-04:002009-07-13T20:59:57.717-04:00Raw Emotion<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYWlv7xCmZO5N8T-DMifnFUSLXa2yquWRmIJWbOWXjhvOpGg0sqiq2a8tcjhCEa0ZuYocsgy9pDfXBIh0hPvIOT-iZIkWSkteYUc4BSWIKQu2vrrwYjmYQ3Jdud-LE9oE-JXQ7p-c99Q/s1600-h/psycho.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358106909393833362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 235px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivYWlv7xCmZO5N8T-DMifnFUSLXa2yquWRmIJWbOWXjhvOpGg0sqiq2a8tcjhCEa0ZuYocsgy9pDfXBIh0hPvIOT-iZIkWSkteYUc4BSWIKQu2vrrwYjmYQ3Jdud-LE9oE-JXQ7p-c99Q/s320/psycho.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>So as everyone saw Andrew was the apparent winner of the contest. It is all false, During the contest I noticed the handle of my spatula was very slippery and I had severe difficulty holding onto it through out the contest. This caused burns to not only myself but to the valuable grilled cheese. As the good sport I am I went over to shake <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">andrews</span></span> hand. It was then I saw him with a tub of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Vaseline</span> scrambling to hide it. In a fit of raw emotion <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">screaming</span> at the audience and other <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">competitors</span> this picture was snapped.

When I look back it is quite astounding at the journey I have already <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">embarked</span> on. In 4 months I have accomplished so much. After all the time of drinking and using I finally began to change. I suppose that I am greatly blessed. Most people have to strive to find there spirituality, mine was pretty much handed to me, although at a fairly high cost. In know way have I not earned every day of sobriety. With my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">vigorous</span> training at the gym, attending meetings regularly, reading, schooling, doing homework and finding time for family. How I do it is pretty <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">remarkable</span>, I guess after such a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">roller coaster</span> ride of a life, it actually feels good to be coasting along nicely before another huge hill. I know that I owe my sobriety to myself, as my teacher said. "There is not one person who gets you sober but yourself". Sure there is support that helps out huge, but in the end you make the choice to put down or pick up that drug/drink. Many people make the mistake of reallying on others for there emotional stability, then if that person leaves, you are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">left </span>out the cold. That is why I make sureto be self reliant, know one determines sobriety but myself. If I ever do chose to pick up <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">again</span> it <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">is</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">know ones fault</span> but my own. I hope that day never comes and I try to solidify my choices with my new found <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">spirituality</span>. Nothing beats self reliance but when you are blessed starting every a day with the gift of sobriety, the pulsing summer sun and the faint calling of a chickadee it only reminds you were true happiness lies.Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-86277327710009395122009-06-09T20:09:00.000-04:002009-06-09T20:10:36.701-04:00For anyone who gives a shitSo as I have the highest class average. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Tomorrow</span> the teacher will be an hour late due to a speech he has to give in Blue Mountain. He has asked me to educate the class for the time that he is gone. When I started school, I had never planned on being top in the class and teaching them stuff. This was for anyone who gives a shit <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">lol</span>Prince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-79946416897991385862009-06-08T18:11:00.000-04:002009-06-08T18:12:44.204-04:00UpdateSo I have my marks for my last two classes. In pharmacology. I got the highest mark in the class with 85.75% and in Assessment treatment and planning I got 85%.<br />On the pharamacology exam I got 88%. And 86% in the other. I just thought i would sharePrince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1705615806997333776.post-55610083703674887382009-06-04T08:22:00.002-04:002009-06-04T08:27:58.633-04:00I'm BackAfter lots of thinking I am back on the block lol. Not trying to be a drama queen. But when your right your right.<br />I love talking about myself to much and how great I am.<br />I had a 20minute presentation to give and a 6 page essay on top of that. I got 95%. So not only am I extremly good looking we can add smarts to the mix. I do amazingly in this course because I have been there done that. I was talking to my teacher about it. Sure you can read what a drug does to you in a book. You can't describe personally what it feels like and the struggles it imposes. nothing bugged me more at a young age then when people tried to help who only had book smarts. Another words you don't know as much as if you have been through it all personally. If there's some nerdy guy helping out youth who has never done fuck all in there life but go to school and not research in the field. what do they actually know. Former addicts bring something else to the table lots of research that cannot be done in a classroom setting. Look forward to talking more about me. Its great to be back after a week hahahahaPrince Charminghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02917783278353087795noreply@blogger.com3
