Friday, October 30th, 2009My mother and I were sitting in a parking lot discussing my future. I was feeling pretty hopeless facing graduation soon with a BA in Philosophy and Religion and no idea what to do next. I was getting sarcastic and bitter towards myself, kinda frustrated that my dreams and desires seem to be so worthless […]
I Like Mantras: Think. Everything is Beautiful
Friday, October 16th, 2009A dear friend of mine one day suggested I find a mantra. I had been trying to think of one for a while. Some ideas popped in my head but sounded forced, cold, not-accurate. “There’s not a spot that God is not.” “Let it be.” Things like these blew around the caverns in my mind […]
I want to create
Sunday, September 20th, 2009I want to make, to have, to hold, to shape, to love, to mold. I want to give and reach and find. I want to bend and stand and bind. I want to be and wait and try. I want to hope and think and die. If we think we’ll ever grab it, our delusions […]
The Nonplanner
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 volumes to […]
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 a […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 spill the […]
