this is your life. are you who you wanna be?
Anyone who has ever watched The Shawshank Redemption knows to "Get busy living or get busy dying."
Last night I went to the memorial service of the first guy in my high school class to die. I’ve known him most of my life and we’re from a small town. This year, the winter alumni basketball game doubled as a memorial game for him. He fought cystic fibrosis all his life, making it to age 24 before he lost the battle while waiting for new lungs. He knew that his life would most likely be sho… Continue

the coolest thing I ever accidentally did.
My friend and I went to France in June for a wedding. After the wedding (and a week in the Loire Valley), we headed south to the coast of the Mediterannean. We'd thought it might be fun to spend a day in Monaco, so we planned to splitting the 4th of July between Montecarlo and Nice. It wasn't until we were headed back into France from Barcelona that I noticed the front page of a Frenchman's newspaper: Tour de France 2009 Grand Départ Monaco 4 Juillet.
I had known that the Tour started on the 4t… Continue

I Was Here - by Lady Antebellum
You will notice me
I’ll be leaving my mark like initials carved in an old oak tree
You wait and see
Maybe I’ll write like Twain wrote
Maybe I’ll paint like Van Gogh
Cure the common cold
I don’t know but I’m ready start cuz I know in my heart
I wanna do something that matters
Say something different
Something that sets the whole world on its ear
I wanna do something better with the time I’ve been given
And I wanna try to touch a few hearts in this life
Leave nothing less than something that says… Continue

hither, thither and yon
I'm going to Europe for the first time in August. I have 25 days, and I'm starting in Switzerland and then heading west by rail. I'm spending a few days in France, Belgium, Holland and London, but other than that my plans are not concrete. Any suggestions on things to do, or places that I should not miss?

second chances
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
-Henry David Thoreau
My life has been pretty awesome. I've been blessed with a wonderful family who encouraged me in (almost) everything I've tried, along with lots of other cool people and loads of fun opportunities. I've done quite a bit in my life... met a lot of people, been… Continue
