So close, yet so far!

Today could have been one of the coolest days of my life. Hands down. But it wasn’t.
Why you ask? Well let me tell you.
So I’ve been following @donaldmilleris on twitter since I found out he had one. That’s the author Donald Miller, for those who don’t know. I’m a big fan of his books: Blue [...]

Training for a 5K

This past weekend I was flipping through the local newspaper and found that the Guadalupe County Fair is coming soon. It always comes to town sometime in October. This year it is on the weekend of the 3rd. Each year I like to some way participate in the fair. When I was a Boy Scout [...]

Have a Good Day

This semester I’m lucky enough to be able to eat breakfast in our cafeteria everyday, something I never was able to do before. I like it so much, because it’s very slow paced and I have plenty of time to do as I wish before class.
I normally eat breakfast by myself -there are normally about [...]

I’ve Left My Heart In China

Breaking Bread with a Man of Many Talents

People have always fascinated me. Any kind of people. I find interest in people who spend their lives in and out of prison, people who have traveled the world over, people who live to experience, and people who’s lives are full of stories from all they have done. Today I was lucky enough, though it [...]

She said Yes

This is a few days late, but I have good reason for the delay.
Just two days ago I made a huge decision. It had been in the works for a couple months now, and I guess if you want to get technical, it’s been in the works for just over 3 years now. Saturday I [...]

10 MPH

Today I came across this very awesome video on the all famous YouTube. It was one of the featured videos on the home page called “10 MPH (Segway Across USA) Award-Winning Indie Film”. I was intrigued by the title simply because it’s a cross country trip. My heart desires to someday take a trip much [...]

A New Goal

This weekend was pretty awesome to say the least. Jackie drove down to visit me on Friday and spent all weekend with me, for which I’m pretty stinkin’ thankful. We had a lot of fun, and did some cool things. A friend of mine was nice enough to let Jackie stay in her apartment which [...]
