I Want to Leave a Legacy
I want to leave a legacy…how will they remember me? Did I choose to love…
Today’s entry is not what I imagined myself writing. I made a commitment to blog for one hundred days straight, which thankfully was not a New Year’s resolution, for it quickly fell to the wayside…my internet at home went out for [...]
I Am Independent, I Am In Control, I AM…Bursting Into Tears?
Hey everybody-
Today is Wednesday, which means my day is blissfully free of classes…oh yes, you heard that right. It may only be day three of being a student again, but I’m already celebrating my days off, so sue me. I’m going to skip over the run through of my day with you, as there truly [...]
Relational Intensity…And Chocolate Chip Cookies.
There are few things in life that take away my ability to formulate specific sentiments into words. My friends ofter hear that I’m a “words guy.” Verbal communication is definitely my default mode. Spending hours crafting my words into something that adequately expresses or conveys my emotion is something I enjoy enormously as an outlet [...]
But for a Moment.
Moments are funny things, in that they’re both complex and simple in the most profound ways. For example, sharing an evening with precious friends is not necessarily difficult to grasp or understand on a fundamental level. Should one feel tempted to pull a Freud, however, an analysis of the individuals represented in such a situation [...]

This evening, I had the opportunity [...]
When An Old Adventure Becomes A New Struggle
I am, I’m captivated by You
In all that You do
I am, I’m captivated
Have you ever had a day where you felt as if you’ve run smack dab into the center of a brick wall? Today felt like one of those days, and it entirely overwhelmed my understanding of where I find myself in this moment. [...]
Today.
Today is July 28th, 2009…and I’m turning twenty years old. Twenty…when someone speaks and says, “You know, twenty years ago…” I tend to think that they essentially mean, “back in the olden days.” I suppose twenty years just feels like a long time ago…even though some of you may beg to differ.
In spite of this [...]
Heartbroken by a Hooker
Open rebuke is better than a love that remains carefully concealed.
On Wednesday night, I spent the evening with a mixed group of Parisians and Anglophones. We all met up at for our weekly get together at “our” Starbucks, a rather nondescript coffee house, nestled into a little corner on Boulevard St. Michel. After a good [...]
Springtime in Paris
Hey everybody-
Last night I went out to the suburbs to meet up with some people, and stumbled upon some of the most picturesque streets in this quaint little Parisian village…so I snapped pictures, and thought I’d share them with you. I was definitely probably freaking out the neighbors as I took these, but hey…for real [...]
Overwhelmed with Perspective
Hey everybody…
As you can see by my mobile post from this morning, I grabbed coffee with the crazy Texan Aaron this morning…good times all around. More on that in a minute.
After our coffee, we headed separate ways, as I walked to La Poste to send a few things Stateside. I popped into an old French [...]
