The Year In Review: 2005

’05 was quite the year. For me, it was filled with conflict, reflection, incredible sadness, exhilarating joy, and most importantly, growth. I suppose most years offer this, but the personal impact of the twenty-first year of my life was quite large. I invite you to take a look back with me as I reflect and [...]

From the Shaver Lake to Las Vegas

The last few days have been fantastic and this trend looks to continue a little bit. Right now, I’m writing from the airport terminal in Las Vegas, Nevada as I wait for my parents to arrive. I’m in Nevada for the next few days to see family and ultimately, to put the “break” back in [...]

Well, A Way Up North Where The Air Gets Cold

Merry Christmas and Happy Haunuka. I hope all is well folks. Last night, I did my immediate family Christmas. I got the two things I really wanted; a big wool coat and an olympic zip-up sweater. The wool coat is something I’ve wanted for a while. I had one when I was little that I [...]

Christmas Time Is Here (at least the Eve)

While it hasn’t exactly felt very “Christmasy”, I’m none the less excited about the big day. As cynical as I am, I really love Christmas. Not for the presents and stuff, but because its a great excuse to get together with friends and celebrate for whatever reason. Getting together with friends and family and then [...]

Site of the Year!

Many of you have followed Stuff On My Cat, that little side project of Mario’s and mine. I’m very proud to say that Yahoo! named it one of their favorite sites in 2005! It’s right up there along side one of my favorite web sites, PostSecret and another very cool one, 43 things. Yahoo!’s Top [...]

So That Thing I Mentioned Last Time…

What was bothering David is probably not on your mind, but may have been there for maybe a total of twenty-three seconds. Regardless, its kinda tricky, but it has to do with my brother mostly. I don’t see him motivated to do anything with himself and I think his friends are horrible, horrible people and [...]

Cheering My Spirits With Laughter and Mirth

So far, since coming back to Fresno on Monday evening, I’ve been to Starbucks on 5 separate occasions. I’ve frantically searched all of town for the perfect gifts and that’s essentially how I’ve spent my time. It’s so important for me, for some reason, to find gifts that are incredibly meaningful. I become very dissapointed [...]

You Told Me You Would Move Heaven and Earth

Been in Fresno for a few days now. I must start out with a big thanks to the good folks at work who let me bolt early and leave sooner than later. On Monday, I rolled into town just before 9:30 and met up with Matt. We caught up briefly at Starbucks and then mobilized [...]

So I Locked Myself Out ON My Balcony.

Read title. Discuss.

It's Good to Be Done.

A little time has set in since the trauma known as finals has ended. It was a good run, for sure, but I am incredibly glad to see it over. This quarter was a tad more stressful than it should have been. In that respect, I’m a bit disappointed. However, I did have two of [...]
