Okay, I really want to start writing everything RIGHT NOW because I feel like time is marching on and I am the fat kid visiting a safari. I can’t keep up with the tour group and I fear I may get left behind, for the Lions. Time feels so short and I just can’t describe how I am feeling. My exams are coming up and I don’t feel as if I am ready. I don’t think I am mature enough for these LIFE DEPENDING choices which will…

I like roaming the streets alone and reading alone. I like riding the tube alone and walking home alone. It gives me time to think and set my mind free. It gives me time to fly away in the void of my imagination and create another world of my own where I like eating alone and listening to music alone. But when I see a mother with her child, a girl with her lover, or a friend laughing with their best friend, I realize that even though I like being alone, I don’t fancy being lonely. The sky is…

I am just a dandelion – as every person inhabiting planet earth. Eternity is a concept beyond my grasps and comprehensions. It comprises of thousands, billions of momentary lives – like mine and yours. We flicker on and out. We are here one moment and the next we may be gone. How much…

I am a father of 6 children, my wife had three and I had three when we met and we love them all so dearly. Three months ago I had to make a choice to move from Ohio to North Carolina for work but it was at a cost. While two of the children live with us 4 of the children do not.

My wife's oldest child lives with her father, my oldest lived with us as well but she is almost 19 now and has moved out and is still living in Ohio. My second oldest who will be 17 this year lives with…

So here goes my first blog post ever..

I am a senior at UCSB majoring in psychology with no desire to become a psychologist. You can imagine my parents' excitement when I told them that little jewel of news. I also have to explain it to every single person that asks me what I am majoring in because college small talk is always leads to the question "What do you want to do with your degree?" 

Why must you ask this question and then don an expression of…

There are very few moments that create the feeling of that proverbial shift in life. Once in a while if we pay attention, we may notice something that inspires us. This inspiration is the driving force that we define as growth.

I have just finished The Fault in Our Stars, and I am left speechless. This beautiful and tragic story has the unique capability of also creating a sense of duty. I do not feel that I will now go and change the world—or even myself—but I do have a…

          I have been thinking a lot of Life and Death lately. I keep thinking "What would it be like to know I was going to die soon?" I wonder if I would accept it or I would freak out. I know you guys don't know me so you don't know how this effects me. I always thought I'd be strong, now I don't know what I'd do.

          I've also been thinking about why I've been not doing fun things. Like today, I could have rode in a mechanical car kiddy thing and I didn't. Why have I not…

"It is not the way you deal with triumph but the way you deal with loss that shows who a person truly is"-Some famous dead guy that I just misquoted.  He's probably rolling around in his grave or whatever,…

Hey everyone!! It's just after midnight here in Thompson, Manitoba - making it January 3rd, 2012, my 23rd Birthday!! 2012 is going to be a big year for me so in turn the age 23 is going to be big as well. As you may or may not know I am a fourth year Sociology student at St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish, Nova Scotia and I will be graduating this May. After May 6th (graduation day) I will be entering the 'real world' and have to become a true adult, which university does a really…

     So, I'm done my art homework, and I have nothing to do! I had to do an assignment about the Die Brücke art movement, and an art appreciation of Emil Nolde's "Masks Still Life" If anybody has any interesting facts or opinions about either, let me know, because I've got four more days of work to fill, with nothing to add...

     Se onr sverdar sitja hvass!

For we all wished to sing, 

the things that we love to hopelessly cling.

But alas some are forever lost,

from their dreams they are forever tossed.

But one merely needs to listen,

and then the tears will truly start to glisten.

Some become bitter out of their loss,

their hearts covered by ages of unforgiving moss.

For why am I…

So, I've been thinking a lot about life lately. It's mostly because I got out of a two year relationship with someone I was once engaged to, and now she is dating the guy she chose over me...while we were still together. I'll let you figure that one out.

There's a lot I want to do in my life. I know a lot of people say that, but I've already done a lot, and I can't help but want more adventure (yes, this is my "Disney Princess heart" speaking) - I mean, I've been to Japan,…

I start this blog post with a question, 'How does one get out of his/hers town/state?' Now this question isnt answered by directions or "Googling" it. This is just a question waiting to be answered by people who have left there town/state for something better.

Now Colorado may be a great state to many people, but to me..... Its just Colorado. Nothing more, nothing less. This may happen to many "kids" my age but, when you we're born and raised in Boulder.... You've seen it all thats…

I was just wondering whether there was anymore Loughbrarian Nerdfighters out there?

(Obviously, if you live somewhere near Loughborough, or in the surrounding villages, then I'd like to hear from you too!)

Wow, this was short, Well, Theres nothing else I have to say.

Other than maybe the fact that I'm going to be a Maths teacher (After A levels and uni, though)

But I will make it happen :D
