Books I want to Write

So recently I’ve been using this new, very fun, program called Stumbleupon that does a semi-random search of the web. How it works is that you download this add on for your internet tool-bar, and then you set some preferences of things you like. (ie. art, music, college stuff, religion, news, politics, etc.) Then from [...]

Amarillo By Mornin’

So this past weekend I joined a group of about 25-30 students from all across Texas in the one and only Amarillo Texas. First of all, this was my first time flying by myself. I’m almost 20 years old, and had never done it. Most of the people I know have. That said to say [...]
