Going back in time, and the giggling man.
So I had the brilliant Idea to start playing a sport I once loved, and left to pursue other things in life. Soccer is a sport I played for a very long time. A very long time ago. I haven’t touched a ball in about 6 years until today. It felt great to be back on the field. But there were ups and downs and on top of it, I realized how long I’ve been out of it, and how bad I have become....
Me, my love, my fear, my love, my fear, my fall
I promised myself three things when moving here. 1) To never lose touch with those I care about, 2) To learn and grow as much as possible, and 3) To delve into surfing and my passion for it. I failed on two of those today. My plans were to get up early and surf, and then to FaceTime with some wonderful people from back East. I slept in and missed not only the surf, but an opportunity to see my...
St. Valentine
There are many interpretations of the holiday known as Valentines day. From my interpretation of the stories I’ve read over the years it goes like this. There was a Catholic Priest who went by the name Saint Valentine. He was a priest who refused an unattested law set in place by the Roman Emperor Claudius II, allegedly ordering that young men remain single. The Emperor supposedly did this...

East Coast Bonds
I received a package in the mail today. It was an order I placed from the influential Pop Punk Band Man Overboard. Now this is no big deal at first glance. “So what? It’s merch.” you may say. But take a closer look at the label and the name they used to send it to me.
What other band do you know who would take their time to do such a thing? I know of none. Now, even though I...
New Venues, For Old Passions
The Yost theater. Quite the venue for my first California show. I had the pleasure of meeting up with a friend of mine before he performed that night and it was really the first time I had the pleasure to have a more personal and in depth conversation with him. He’s incredibly supportive and inspiring even though we are not that close. We talked of his successes and failures and the time spent...
A different kind of awful
I am pleased to announce I will be writing in conjunction with lifestyle and clothing company A different kind of awful. My site will be changing in terms of images posted, but my writings will stay the same. The unwavering support and humbling response I’ve received about my journeys, struggles and story, from friends family and some strangers have be flattering and inspirational. I’d...
The Wonder Years
Rest Assured
How many times have you asked yourself why something is happening to you? I bet every time that you can recall, it is a negative experience your reflecting on. We’ve all had them time after time, and it seems unfair and never to make sense. I’m personally coming to a point where I’m asking myself, quiet frequently, why all the good things are happening to me. It’s made...
