Yes, “On Death”. That simple, that plain. Though, I’m not going to necessarily tackle to topic of Death itself (something for a later post, I think). This post is kind of how I dealt with Death recently. Because it’s been coming at me from every direction, and as a result, plans to blitz through tons of writing these past few weeks stalled out and my initiative and motivation were squashed.
Well, I don’t know how to say this, but something in me just kind of snapped. I’m sick and tired of feeling helpless, of not being able to get my voice out to the people who can make a difference. So, I’ve decided to take things directly to Washington. I’m gathering donations and selling what things I can to get up to D.C. as soon as possible to talk to as many people in congress as possible, and maybe even the President. View full article »
There is a story behind how I became the Sports Editor of The West Georgian, when I myself have very little experience as a participant in sports or similar activities. I figure it’s interesting and serves as a good springboard for talking about sports themselves.
This is my third year working for The West Georgian, the student newspaper for this university. I’ve been a staff writer and an Ombudsman (abuse sponge) and worked hard because I believe in the mission of our paper: To provide news to the students and to provide a venue in which students can get experience delivering the news.

Wow. I…uhh.. hate to admit this, but I almost forgot about this site! Shocking, I know. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in schoolwork, newspaper stuff, club stuff, and on top of all of that, I got pneumonia! So, now, I’m recovered and back to 100%. View full article »
I’ve not made any updates lately since I’m currently dealing with moving, getting bills covered, preparing for the next semester and trying to relax a bit after a stressful summer semester. I did 15 hours in the summer, which is pretty crazy as far as I see it, and walked away with a 3.20 GPA for the whole thing. So, I think I did pretty good. Especially considering I did that while writing for here.
So, while I apologize for the lack of content lately, please understand why I’ve not been updating. I’ve not forgotten my loyal readers.
Well, when I started this site up a couple weeks back, I really just thought about it as a place for me to rant on and on about things that mattered to me. I find it rather pleasurable to write at great length, with as much depth as I can, and I find it even more so when I see that it’s enjoyed by others. I’m about to hit 200 hits (it only counts you once per day, by the way) in just over 2 weeks, which is pretty astounding to me, because I know I have many friends, but I didn’t think that everyone would really find it all that interesting to see what I’d put down. What this tells me is that I’m hopefully doing something right. View full article »
Earlier today, while awaiting taking an exam, I thought to myself about how I spent about an hour and a half yesterday writing up a long belabored post update on my life and where it’s been since the last post. I then realized that I only post there about once a month or so and the only people who look at it are a couple of close friends who, while I care about them a great deal, are not entirely enough to motivate me to write on a regular basis. Additionally, my motivation to do so is further reduced by the fact that I put most of my personal updates (day-by-day) on my Facebook account, which reduces the number of topics which aren’t covered there already.
