This has been
one of the worst weeks that I have ever endured. I can’t even begin to explain it.
At least I have something super awesome to look forward to in the morning!
So it goes.
I finally finished Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle. Talk about a good book. Everyone should read it. I’d really like to read Sirens of Titan but since I don’t have it, I suppose I’ll settle for Breakfast of Champions.
Today I started exercising. That was a good idea. I feel awesome.
I called my grandparents today. I was telling my grandpa about life and how confused I...
Now this man down at the used car lot Tried to sell me four wheels and a trunk. I said, “Man, there is no engine!”, He said, “The engine’s just a bunch of junk. You don’t need no engine to go downhill And I can plainly see, that that’s the direction You’re headed in.”, and he handed me the keyes.
P.S. - Told you so. →
I realize that some things I believe are silly.
Like the fact that aliens helped out some ancient cultures to help speed along the development of the human race.
Or that R. Buckminster Fuller was right when he engineered a plan to develop every country in the world just by adjusting the power grids.
Or that one day, Democrats and Republicans can put aside their differences to promote the...
I guess I just wasn't made for these times.
I’m too young to feel this old. This past week has really taken a toll on me, both physically and mentally. My life needs an overhaul.
Sometimes I feel like I would be really good at things if given the opportunity. I suppose there are cartain things we’re just not supposed to know.
I almost forgot how good the album Stay What You Are is. Thanks, Saves the Day, for a stellar record.
Well, that was a long week. But, I made a promise to not complain. So I won’t. I do hope this week is better though.
Because our own human existence is so dependent on the help of others our need...

As we all know, today marks the 50th anniversary of the delivery of J.F.K.’s inaugural address. It is widely regarded as one of the best 100 speeches of all time. I’ve taken several oral and performance based classes, so I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about.
It’s a beautiful piece, but one section stands out to me more than others:
“The world is...
This station is non-operational.
I just typed the longest post ever. All I did was complain about my job. Then I deleted it. I decided that I’m not going to complain (not even once) for at least one whole week. Hopefully longer.
Sometimes, I like the fact that we can’t take back things we say. I’m sure this opinion will change the next time I place my foot in my mouth.
I have a very “stream of...
I almost forgot...
…that I even had a tumblr. Guess I’ll start to use it. I’m not sure anyone follows me. They have no reason too (since I never update.) I kinda like it that way.
Yesterday, I purchased a new book, Green Living: the Handbook for Living Lightly on the Earth. I’m not too far into it, but it sure is captivating. It’s a great book for those looking for a way to get into...
