It's a Flying...Disc?

Humans have this strange fascination with throwing objects. Whether it's throwing fists on the Jersey Shore or throwing balls at one another, there is something exhilarating and addicting from the act of throwing something.

Chefs throw pizzas. Librarians throw books. I throw Frisbees.

This revolutionary disc, angled with perfect precision and weighing a particular amount, floats majestically through the air. Its flight patterns, momentum, and distance are tough to judge and complete. But that's part of the mystery though, right?

I love me some fris....

Here Comes the Sun...


Today, I was an umpire for a few softball games (have to bring in the bacon somehow). What started out as a nerve-racking day full of unsuccessfully memorizing rules and hand signals turned into a beautiful, sunny day. I really do enjoy the sun. In a part of the country where sun is a rare sight throughout 3/4 of the year, I have learned to appreciate it that much more. This is going to be a great next few weeks of the quarter, but will make studying practically impossible.

I love killing my GPA.

Family

I love my family. It's great to have a support group who knows where your roots are and where your blood flows. They are the one set of people you are tied to for the rest of your life and will love you no matter what.

This great care and compassion that I have the privilege of experiencing is amazing. I am truly blessed to have my family in my life.

Let's Read A Book


One of the great calamities facing society today is the fleeting departure of physical Literature. Nowadays, people are so obsessed with listening to their iPods, or reading Sparknotes on the Internet. One forgets that losing him or herself in a book is a privilege and often exciting adventure. By reading a book at surface level, or delving into the truths that the text hides, there is much enjoyment to be taken from reading.

I like reading. I wish more people did.

It brings people together that are thousands of miles away from each other.

Let's Be Real


Let's be real. Right now, we are in an age of science and reason. The days when the heavens were visible through the stars are gone, and probably never going to be back. The days of innocent and naive childhood, when my biggest concern was collecting all the dandelions from the yard and giving them away as a bouquet to my mother are nonexistent. Today, I am plagued by the misery of work, an unjust society, and life changing decisions that need to be made.

Where is the happiness in that?

The happiness in that lies in the mystery of tomorrow. The idea of an adventure waiting to be had and knocking at my door. Where will the decisions I make today take me in the future? It's baffling at times not knowing what lies ahead, but it's a challenge we all must face at some point.

Happiness is just a step away.

Sunny Days Gonna Come My Way


It's a sunny day in Seattle. This rare occurrence makes one really notice how beautiful this city can be. With things going on such as the compassion grant and April being the "green" month, Seattle has a lot going for it. The sun just adds to the glory of how great this city can be. This just proves that through the rain, clouds, and dreary weather, a brighter future lies ahead, waiting to be seen.

I am a huge Seattle fan and love to live here.

Chiquitita


Through the recent events I've experienced, I've found it challenging to find the happiness in things. This is purely a result of life, and that sometimes it's difficult to find things we enjoy.

This is when you must listen to really great musicals. Mamma Mia is my current choice and sure has cheered me up.

"Sing a new song, Chiquitita......"

I'm a fan of songs.

Life

I'm trying to tell you something about my life
Maybe give me insight between black and white
The best thing you've ever done for me
Is to help me take my life less seriously, it's only life after all
Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable
And lightness has a call that's hard to hear
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it, I'm crawling on your shore.

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.

I went to see the doctor of philosophy
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind, got my paper
And I was free.

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.

I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before
I went in seeking clarity.

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains
I looked to the children, I drank from the fountain
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine.

We go to the bible, we go through the workout
We read up on revival and we stand up for the lookout
There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line
The less I seek my source for some definitive
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
The closer I am to fine
