Hello again, as usual it has been awhile since my last entry. I went back to Ohio for about 3 weeks for the holidays. It was good in a way and bad in a way. It was nice seeing friends like Colleen, Kyle, Monica, Saskia, Alex, Zach, Josh, and Clayton. Yes I saw Clayton. I was most afraid that I was going to do something that I regretted over break.

I didn’t actually accept the position until a week later because I thought other people would get back to me before then. But since they did not, I wasn’t going to wait any longer and I accepted. Basically, I will be co-leading a group of 4 in trail construction and maintenance in the Trout Lake region of Washington. It is almost like Americorps ( Read more... )

I don't usually write poems, but I found this idea a great deal more compelling in some sort of verse rather than in statement ( Read more... )

Earlier today, I was pondering our complete facination with people deemed as "celebrities." If you really, really think about it, its completely absurd! Where did this utter awe for these people stem from? Well, thats a good question. It derives from our very own lives in fact, or at least I believe.

Frankly, the future and the past effect our lives more than we sometimes realize. Personally, while in college I would only think about what homework needs done, what ( Read more... )

I am unsure of what people usually write in this online journal, but as for me, I think I am going to use it as an excuse to write. If you know me, you know that I like to save a lot of junk. I make scrapbooks, take hundreds of photos, save ticket stubs, and really keep anything to help recreate a memory. After all, I believe life is all about ( Read more... )

Sooooo I guess this would be considered my first real entry. I went to church this morning for the first time since I don't even remember. I forgot how silly it all is too. However, it does bring a sense of community, togetherness, and unity of fellow sufferers of our pathetic species. Which may be one aspect I ironically admire about congregation ( Read more... )

Ummmm wow, I have been FORCED to sign up for this "livejournal" thing. Well, not entirely forced but heavily persuaded by Mary Mooney! Yes, the blame for this is going out to Mary. If I become totally addicted to this website, I am going to send her the bill. In fact, I really don't know who is going to read my entries. Actually, I don't really ( Read more... )
