"What can be said to a man to console him when he feels helpless? When he feels unfit to be around his peers? Is there anything? Pondering this for any length of time one may arrive at possible options for this poor soul. But the experience of the author is that there is little one can do. As there might not be such a thing as fate, it is a ( Read more... )

It seems very odd to be writing on this live journal once again. For some reason it still intrigues me to post something on here after a long reprieve from doing so. It would take a large amount of space to quantify what has happened in my life since the last post. After I graduated from high school I did not bother to use this forum as an ( Read more... )

I just finished the book Cold Mountain by Charles Frasier. It is one of the best works of literature in print. Everyone should read it whether you have seen the movie or not. Regardless of reading preference, just read it. As for me, I loved the book. I really identify with Inman. There are many reasons and the least of which need not further ( Read more... )

I realize every time I use this journal that it has been an incredibly long time since the last post. While not impossible, it is wasteful to think that I could possibly recount all the things I have done as of late. The most important thing right now for me is that I am attending Western Michigan University in the fall. I leave at the end of ( Read more... )

I saw the end of the movie Forrest Gump tonight. For me it's an emotional movie for many different reason. Some I prefer not to talk about. But the character of Forrest Gump, to me, embodies the most humble a person can be. He lives a black and white life with no shades of grey. Everything is literal and he truly loves only one other woman ( Read more... )

Is life worth living? This seems to be almost a childish thing to ask but some people analyze things to such a point as to find little purpose in their life. I have never believed I served much purpose but never have I wanted to stop living. There is good in the world and it is worth looking for. It is discouraging when it is believed some ( Read more... )

More often than it is admitted people continue to pursue things based on little more than principle. They feel that given the time invested in the given venture it is worth their effort to try and meet the conclusion that is desired. Sometimes this principle is based on a personal belief that the pursuer does not deserve anything else. Other ( Read more... )

It has been quite a long time since I have posted on this. My original reason for starting this journal was to keep in step with the on-line activities of my peers while in high school. After I graduated I did not care that much to update it. I still don't. But since it is my creation I owe it enough to add a few comments once and a while. I ( Read more... )

I am back from camp and I have to say I miss it a bit. All the kids behaved for the most part and I think they liked me pretty well. All but one of the counselors went to Center Line so most of the people they were talking about I knew but not as well as I would have liked. I talked to all of them and they were really quite nice to me. All of ( Read more... )

I am figuring that this journal is all but forgotten by now because I barely update it anymore. Between working and finishing up this semester of school I really don't have time for anything else. I did go to Bill's surprise birthday party last night which was nice. Which made me think of how it was nice to have people around that are known to ( Read more... )
