So one of Todd's "resolutions" this year was to go to a real science fiction / fantasy convention and he happened upon one that was held this past weekend in Colorado Springs.It was definitely more sci-fi than fantasy but one of Todd's favorite authors was there - George R.R. Martin. One of Todd's friends informed … Continue reading Stereotypes exist for a reason…

I'm feeling lighter today. Literally and figuratively.The Britney Mission is in full-swing, Jillian Michaels is making attempts to kill me and I'm finding myself eating more and more vegetarian meals as the days pass.I blew through the last barrier and am well on my way to breaking through the next one.

So I got this new daily desk calendar the other day...I love calendar sales! Anyway, January 2 asked several questions, most of which are worth answering, so I thought I would.What makes me feel alive?Easy. Learning and traveling. I started classes again yesterday and only have one that's actually on-campus. My professor is engaging and … Continue reading Make it happen…

This morning. That's mine.I feel terrible. Awful. Probably even ashamed.I don't even know what I did. But this I do know. I can trust people less.

Apparently it isn't wise to … Continue reading What’s YOUR wanna-get-away moment??

So I recently had a conversation, albeit brief, with a friend about "stuff" that was going on with me. The conversation moved quickly to religion and faith. She's not necessarily a religious person, but I've found that sometimes those are the best people to bounce my thoughts and feelings off of.I feel like I've been … Continue reading Gimme some time, I guess….

I recently read a blog of a friend of mine...he talked about why he's going to school to study what he's studying. It got me thinking, I guess. I've switched my major plenty of times. More than I should have, honestly. I started as a secondary education major; then on to music production; then to … Continue reading How did I land here??

New Year’s Resolutions are interesting things to me.I’ve always made them. My whole life is filled with New Year’s resolutions that haven’t been kept. Just TONS of them. I once made the resolution not to swear. That was a complete wash. I should probably work on it more and do it less, but it’s still … Continue reading Resolutionizing the world….mine, at least
