The Blog Baccalaureate Address

Having a brother who is graduating high school next week, I have had the wonderful opportunity to attend the many many many ceremonies and recognition services held throughout this past week. Tonight, I attended the Senior Baccalaureate ceremony (called Senior Recognition service, I think in part because nobody knows what Baccalaureate means, or how to spell it).

So, in honor of graduation, here is the Blog's very own attempt at an address:

Dear distinguished readers of the InternBlog, all three of you, the honorable Gabe Ross, and Mr. Anonymous (who in the world are you that keeps posting on here??): We have gathered here today for the twentieth time to recognize your achievements, again, for the twentieth time. Soon you will venture out from these wonderful hard-wood seats that your rears are so familiar with, into a world full of wonderful opportunities. I encourage you, no matter what you do, to strive to become the 'better you'. For this is really your best life now.


Many of you have received gifts from friends and family over the past few days. Remember that life is not about material possessions, but about victory and prosperity.

Sometimes in life you will go through hard times, times of sickness, or sadness. Remember good ole bugs bunny:

Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive. -Bugs Bunny.

ok, ok, enough of the sarcasm, if you couldn't sense it, but, if i were to give a speech, i would say to strive for success, strive to accomplish your goals and dreams, seek God in everything, even when you have to make a decision on what to drink, or eat, or what parties to go to, or what church to attend, and the biggest thing I would say is actually echoing what I heard today at church, discover who God is Yourself, seek after Him and find out who He is to you. Define the Relationship. Have the good ole DTR talk with God.

Thank You, good night, and don't trip across the stage when getting your diploma :)
