Things that the Holiday Season Teaches Me

- Despite being told that I have diabetes on both sides of my family, I am able to process TONS of sugar every single day.
- Despite being a pretty nice guy and being relatively cool with most of humanity, I really hate everyone when I'm out shopping. To be fair, they …

How To Be Awesome: Music

Actually, this should probably be titled "How To Be Cheap." In these times, you've got to prioritize where you get your entertainment and art. I don't know about you, but I can't drop a sack of cash on vinyl all the time, especially when I'm funemployed. (also, …

Earth Day, or Why You Ought To Show Some Respect

Earth Day is one of the more interesting holidays we've come up with in the last century. It's the one day a year that you can ride your bike to work, totally pitting it out, and have a little bit of forgiveness for doing so. It's the one day where you can build a …

Pizza, Books, and Movies

Boogie

There are few things in life I find more enjoyable than a nice afternoon at the beach, just boogie-boarding. It's really a great time, every time. Even when the waves aren't super spectacular, it's still a nice feeling.

When I get in the water, I use a wetsuit. I …

This is me. This is me being awesome.

Today I drove from San Luis Obispo to my hometown, a small-ish community between Riverside and Palm Springs. At nearly 300 miles, the drive takes about 5 hours in good traffic conditions with few stops along the way. But that's not the awesome part. The awesome part …

Free Time

After working for several months on setting up the Relay for Life at my school, the event finally took place last Saturday/Sunday. Now I've got free time, right?

The short answer is no.

I've got other classes and projects to work on now; having more free time …

Spider-Man 3: Empathy

When you watch a movie, there are a lot of messages that are sent your way. You can learn a lot from the dialogue between the characters, or from the overall tone of the film itself. In Spider-Man 3, there's a lot of talk about empathy and forgiveness, be it direct or …

Friendship is weird

So, yes.

One of my best friends from back home posted a blog saying that he was tired of all the crap that everyone was saying about each other, and that he wanted all of us to respond with exactly how we think of him. I did what I could to make sure I pointed out …

Sun: Mass at the mission

And of course any homework I might have.

Good thing I'm starting to feel sick! I like how …

Back at school

Yes, indeed, I did get a haircut. Thanks to one of my friends on my floor in the dorms, I'm sporting quite a nice, short look. I had forgotten how much I enjoy having short hair. You can really feel the air around your ears, and that's a nice feeling, at least for …

Spring Break

Even though I'm just hanging out at home, I think this Spring Break will be pretty nice. It's a bit strange, trying to change gears from chaos and rushing from one thing to another to rest and relaxation. I'm actually a little tired from resting. It's like the first …

A beginning

New things happen all the time. Life is created and destroyed. New situations arise for all of us, every day. Sometimes they're wonderful, and you feel like you're floating just a few inches off the ground all the time, except for when you're soaring. Other times, …
