Thursday, September 17th, 2009I am conducting an experiment. It shall last exactly as long as it does. I have been trying half-assedly to be a non-planner for a while, but now I feel like really not planning.
I also feel like putting down a few thoughts that I suppose have become mantras for me. They mean [...]
Quotes, the first installment.
Monday, September 7th, 2009Perhaps I’ll upload quotes I like. I happened to speak this one and want other people to read it.
“Embracing and trusting the artist within it is one of the most worthwhile investments a human can make.”
On being sick
Monday, August 31st, 2009Sometimes we face tests in the form of gross sickness but to smile and to bless takes a weight off of your chest. At first I felt defeated; the answer was not greeted with the joy that it so needed, for I was too conceited and my soul call wasn’t heeded. This feeling is [...]
Nothing To Do But Exist
Monday, June 29th, 2009“I think if I had one second in your brain, I would completely implode,” she said.
“Yeah, man, can I make a documentary about… just you? That would be the sweetest thing ever. We can just drive wherever and I’ll give you complete freedom as long as when I say it’s time to move on, we [...]
Dying to the Cause of Living
Sunday, April 19th, 2009This is a real quick update on a topic I posted about a while back. Here is the post!
Fate had this event in store for me — I got to see Birdlips at JMU on friday, and accomplished what I could not accomplish last time I saw them. This is entirely not related to Birdlips, [...]
The Walking Meditator (or How I Became, “That Guy.”) (Part 1)
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Reading this blog to get to know me is much like looking through a rain splattered stained glass window trying to make out a figure in the distance. You know the direction I’m heading, you comprehend that I am more or less of humanoid characteristics, and you would probably note that I’m either heading in [...]
Lessons in Suffocation: Part 3
Tuesday, February 24th, 2009Today I am going to wrap up and reflect on the previous two posts (post one) (post two) in a different voice / tense than before. This post will make more sense if you’ve read the two posts linked above.

I neither regret things nor hate people. Doing so wouldn’t undo the events, unspend the time, unbruise [...]
Lessons in Suffocation Part 1
Wednesday, February 4th, 2009Thumbing through my posts will tell you a great deal about me. It’s strange, though, since I seem to be completely contextless sometimes. I feel as though I have a great deal to offer the universe as far as advice and positivity goes, but why? Why does it incapacitate me sometimes when I know that [...]
I love being a Religious Studies major!
Wednesday, January 21st, 2009Here is the exact text of a paper I just wrote for my religious studies class. I’m not going to bother giving context, it is pretty easy to get. I love my life now that I’m doing what I want to in school. Kids, don’t be afraid to dream.
My religious tradition would most closely [...]
Life: The Musical
Thursday, December 18th, 2008I’ve always known I’m not the only one of my kind, though I’ve always felt like it. The first time I really felt at home, or really noticed that I truly did, was when I went camping with JMU’s Earth Club. Someone brought delicious salsa from a local restaurant and they managed to [...]
