I must admit, there has been significantly more on my mind in recent times than there has been in many years. If it were possible to sum up the thoughts to have occurred during the past three weeks, it would take much longer than three weeks to explain them in proper detail. I’ve attempted many […]
For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little. I’ve been thinking about that verse for quite some time, especially with the advent of returning back to school. Part of the challenge for me to return back to school was a feeling […]
Ladies and gentlemen, I continue my semi long-lost tradition of writing one final blog before university classes start. Welcome! As I’m somewhat introspective, I’ve always taken the opportunity to put into words the way I feel prior to embarking on these ten weeks of schoolwork, late night studying, and the ever-eternal cram sessions prior to […]
There’s a growing fear in me that my ability to motivate others is not nearly strong enough to motivate the most difficult person to motivate; myself. It’s very easy to encourage others to spring forward with action. What I fear most is that my life will be nothing more than a propeller of others, with […]
“The trouble is that, as modern people, we have too much to live with and too little to live for.” Enough. Too many quotes are being displayed without anything to back them up.

Dear Lucifer, For as much of my life that has been spent inside of your world, it surprises me that we’ve never had the chance to chat. Got a minute? Of course you do; you aren’t going anywhere for, say, ever? Maybe it’s prime time that we had a chance to level with each other. […]
