A Shadow of the Past

May 7, 2008

And Yet Another to Add to the List

May 2, 2008

So I completely failed my goal to try andblog everyday last month. It was pretty disastrous but oddly enough I am kind of okay with that. I have learned so much recently. I became so utterly depressed and lonely. I lost sight of who I was in Christ. I lost …

Last Night

Something to Appreciate

Apr 16, 2008

This a good picture of what college kids do on a beautiful sunny day. We simply enjoy it and be thankful. It is nice to drop everything sometimes and just appreciate. There is so much to be thankful for. I'd say the only thing that is missing is a nice …

I'll Have You Know

Apr 15, 2008

I'll have you know that college is both exhilarating and absolutely dreadful. When you take part in the dorm life like I have (and will continue to do) it then becomes BITTERSWEET in BITTERSWEET'S purest form. I wouldn't trade the lessons learned though. …

The Goal

Spring Break and Beyond

Patience (My Depleting Virtue)

X-Country State

It has been a while and its one of the few things I really miss about my high school years, which iscross country. Our team was very small but we did surprisingly well for such a small team. Everyone got along great. There were so many good times even in …

Dance Dance Revolution Universe

Weekends are great. My roommate Tommy and I stayed up till 5:00 a.m. playing Dane Dance Revolution Universe. This is something I wouldn’t highly recommend for a number of reasons. Reason number 1: you feel like you’re dying of sleep deprivation …
