New Lease On Life 03.10.10

I’ve noticed in the mornings while getting ready for work, my mom will often look out of the window and say how beautiful the day is. This is on truly beautiful clear days, as well as gloomy and rainy days. Her view on life itself has been completely altered. She now enjoys [...]

25 Life Lessons Learned By Age 25 02.11.10

Here are 25 things that I’ve learned or realized so far at the age of 25.

Friends become strangers.  And more importantly, vice versa. Prior to leaving middle school for high school, my all time favorite teacher told everyone to remember that some of the friends that you have now won’t even talk to you once [...]

Twenty-Five 02.09.10

Yesterday I officially became a quarter of a century old.  I now get a slight bit of a break on auto insurance and can now rent rental cars without paying those ridiculous fees for being under 25.
Twenty-Four was an okay year.  Almost identical to the previous few, but hopefully Twenty-Five will prove to be much [...]

Even The Tough Cry, Sometimes 01.12.10

Like every single human being I experience all feelings and emotions, but I don’t often show nor talk about them, even to those I am most close to.  I choose to keep them to myself rarely letting them escape.  I don’t think I will always be like that, it’s just the phase that I’ve been [...]

Each year as Thanksgiving approaches, I can’t help but imagine the Thanksgiving scenes from TV shows.  Not necessarily the details of them, but how the get-together is made into a much bigger deal than the usual family dinner together.
This year my dad got a job that had to be done over the holiday weekend, which [...]

My Mind Wanders Like This Sometimes 11.08.09

The sad thing is the girl’s thoughts are probably exactly in line with this comic as much as mine are at times.  This should be a reminder to myself to think more optimistically.

Best Approach To Possible Happenings 10.09.09

Hope for the best.  Expect the worst.
That’s what I do.  So much better than expecting things to work out in the best way when there’s always a chance that they won’t.  It doesn’t give you as much of a let down if things fall through, yet sets you up for a nice little surprise if [...]

Response Suspense 10.02.09

I hate sending someone a message, someone you don’t really know but would really like to know, and not getting a response in a decent time-frame.  I think it’s just really seeing acknowledgment that what I said was taken correctly.  I’m always second guessing myself, the wording of things I write, wondering if I perhaps [...]

Integrity 08.31.09

Some people have it; some people lack it.  Out of the numerous qualities and values defining a person’s character, integrity is one of the more important ones to me.  A person’s word is not taken for much nowadays, and it really is a shame because if you take away all of the material items, your [...]

Holden Coat of Arms 08.17.09

The only thing that I’ve found so far is that the birds appear to be called ‘eagle displayed’.  I’ve not made it to what the colors, shape of the shield, birds, number of birds, helmet, etc. mean yet, but will update this post as I discover.
If you happen to stumble across this post and know [...]
