Knocking His Halo Right Off

Boy and Me.

Happy Halloween!!!

When My Mom Was My Age

- She had been married for 3 years.

- I was born.

- She moved across country (drove with a 2 year old and 5 day old).

- She had published a short story.

- She had long hair.

- She had lived in the North, East, South, and West parts of the country.

- Because of us children, she sacrificed her degree to move with my father and allow him to finish his PhD.

Today I turned 22. I feel so old. I can't believe 22 years ago today I was born by my 22 year old mother.

25 Years is a Long Time

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!

Fireworks on the 4th...even though today's the 7th...

I know it's a little late, but I'm still playing catch up.

Here's a clip I filmed from the fireworks on the 4th.

Me, Rob S., and two other guys I met that night laid on the grass by the Hudson and played Ticket to Ride (It was my first time playing, but I kicked trash!).

A lovely evening.

And AMAZING fireworks!

A Tribute to Fatherhood

I love my dad.

Happy Fathers' Day.

Here are some more caring fathers:

Google Yourself

Finals ended. Holidays started.
It's been a wonderful year, and I had plans to write all about my current life quandaries, excitements, understandings, and opinions, but instead, I can't bring myself to ignore a discovery I made this evening. Finally getting past the semester, I've just sat down to reacquaint myself with this wonderful online journal of mine, and in doing so I've been pleasantly distracted with the number of hits I've had from people (boys) googling their names and finding themselves on my dating list. I even had a friend of mine inform me of his discover of my blog. I only wish people would leave comments so I could have more reactions than just that of this solitary friend. The irony of this whole googling thing is for as much as we'd like to know what other people can discover about us by googling our name, we seem to only google our own names!
I hadn't intended to make such a list--I truly haven't kept it all my life, I merely complied it during a boring day in my creative writing class a day before posting it--but I'm sure glad I did, seeing how much entertainment it has brought me.
So, go ahead, now that you've read this, you know you want to--google yourself.

Beard Hats!

I'm going to try and make this for my brother for Christmas!

Feb. 6th

My roommates remembered my 1/2 birthday!

How nice was that.
