No, not world peace, or the end to world hunger, a clean reliable source of renewable energy, or even people that know what they want out of life.  The tshirt has finally arrived ( Read more... )

So I was volunteering at Bromenn today and was taking a wheel chair to 616 to pick up a patient that was recently discharged.  Two quick side stories...

1. There really is no 616.  I thought I was told 616 when in reality I was just supposed to go to 16.  This is the reason I came into contact with dirty old man in the first place.


2. We have large ( Read more... )

Rollerblading around this evening I kept staring at the moon.   Just one of those picturesque moments where you can just see yourself sitting on the end with your feet dangling off.  A mere 240,000 miles above looking down on this little blue ball we call Earth.   I kind of want to be there right now.  The silence of space would be a great place to ( Read more... )

So I got my new CD a day early.  Kind of exciting although not jump up and down exciting as I had already heard all of the songs on the CD.  Oh well!  Anyway, this song has been partially featured before but I figured I'd plop the whole thing out there because it fits perfectly!  At least I think there's something ( Read more... )

Yay!  Thanks to (in alphabetical order):  Bill, Jake, Jamie, John, Justin, Karen, Logan, Megan, Meghann, Mike, Neil, Rob,  Sara, Scott, Stefanie, and TJ.  Sorry I wasn't there sooner but it was nice with the singing and all ( Read more... )

So I just pulled that title out of my butt but I think it will work.

Disclaimer:  Yes you probably know what this post is going to be about.  Some may be tired of reading about it.  Some, myself included, would rather not think about this issue all the time.  My goal is not to be offensive or judgemental in anyway towards my friends, relatives, ( Read more... )

I really just don't know.   The issue that has bothered me for I don't even know how many years is about to hit me in the face.  Five years later, including 3 years of college, numerous late night discussions and debates with friends, 2.5 months of counseling, much thought, late night trips around town on my rollerblades, and I feel as if I've ( Read more... )

That's right folks 34 hours in the bank and only 4.75 more to go!  That's the work work.  At 1pm tomorrow I will be volunteering at Bromenn as an escort.  I've been in the building once so this should be interesting at the very least.  Then the week is REALLY over and the fun begins.  The Jamie and I will be driving up to mi casa for a weekend of ( Read more... )

I'm oddly content with life right now.  We'll see how that changes as school/work gets closer but for now I'm a happy camper.   The summer has been going extremely well with a few pleasant suprises along the way.  Although it's flying by a bit too fast for my liking there really isn't anything I would want to go back and change.  I guess that's ( Read more... )

Two rather slightly related stories follow.  I feel as if both fall under the aforementioned subject title and thus have at least a slight connection .

Earlier today Mr. Bolton and I attended a showing of the movie The Island.  I will not get into a review of the movie because that would definetly not make any connection to my second story but ( Read more... )
