Putting my new attitude to work

This weekend presented a challenge for me that in the past would have made me completely flip out, but I chose to take a higher path and remain calm. I got a flat tire on my brand new car and getting it fixed has been easier said than done. The flat occurred Saturday night, although [...]

Time for reflection

I have wanted to be a writer for as along as I can remember. I scribbled out an essay about it when I was still in elementary school in my once-terrible handwriting. I wrote a much better essay about it to get into college and I have written in a journal and now also a [...]

Be careful what you ask for

Last summer brother bear and I banded together to make a request of our parents. We told them that we were old enough to know whatever was going on health-wise for my dad. He was probably going to be getting chemotherapy in the fall (which he did for his leukemia) and we wanted our parents [...]

Concert re-cap and looking ahead

The concert last night was almost a weather disaster, but it turned out just fine. After driving home in a torrential downpour/thunderstorm/hail storm/wind storm we trekked down to the Tweeter Center for another great night of Dave Matthews Band. The show was amazing, but I still Saturday’s night is the best one I’ve ever seen. [...]

Round two

Tonight is the second Dave Matthews Band concert that I’ll be attending this week. I am so pumped. The band is playing at the Tweeter Center and I am hoping that the weather holds up. I just love seeing DMB live. I have liked them for more than a decade and so many of their [...]

Give me truth

“Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.” -Henry David Thoreau The concert and camping this weekend were really fun, despite a bit of rain that forced our early departure. We arrived Saturday afternoon and it was sunny, warm and pretty much the perfect day for our adventure. We hung [...]

Political post revise

Earlier I posted about how I think it’s terrible that Senator Barack Obama is not accepting public funding for his presidential campaign. A friend posted on here that I was not digging deep enough and was manipulating what was previously said. My response is basically to say that if you like Obama, you’ll find a [...]

Mourning the loss of an icon

I was deeply saddened last Friday when I heard of Tim Russert’s death. There are some people in the world that when they die, it seems unbelievable. Russert was an incredible journalist, prodding both those on the left and right of the political divide to give honest answers to difficult questions. I considered him to [...]

Camping preparations

I’m getting all ready for out camping adventure this weekend. I just went to the store and bought a sleeping bag and some other supplies. I hope everything goes well. I’m a bit nervous, but I think it’s going to be really fun. I’m really glad that brother bear decided to come with us. Other [...]

Much Better

Things are much better today than they were yesterday. I went running last night and this morning before work, which was great. It was so beautiful and quiet out, very relaxing. Everything is sorted out with the family too. We all apologized for everything that happened and I think took a minute to think about [...]
