So the latest two blog entries on here were written while I was on vacation. I didn't realize that my Instagram wasn't hooked up here, so unfortunately those fun pictures didn't post then, but hey, you can find them now. :D I will soon be writing about the aftermath of the trip, stay tuned!

The Here, The Now.

Peering out my balcony window, I did a double take.

My eyes sent signals to my brain that were nearly incomprehensible.

The fog, the clouds, the grey was encompassing the skyline.

It seemingly whispered to the city “Go ahead and invade my world, I will embrace you, but I will always win.”

Second Go Round

Waking up to a slight hangover after a fun night out is easily dealt with when in a city you love.

It feels like it has been a long time though, because I am not stretching my writing muscles, not opening the flood gate of...

I was at work and...

The Wonders of Reading

We have all heard that books can take you places you never knew existed. That half the joy of reading, is the adventure you go on. I have bought into that way of thinking, and I bought in long ago.

I have met all the creatures residing in Narnia. I have seen Paris bars and cafes after World War II ended....

I have been thinking about pauses a lot lately, and namely what they mean to me, and how I use them.

What does it mean to pause?

Is it defined simply by taking a moment?

Does it have to be a moment of rest?

Or is it merely a function on a video game that allows us to walk away from an adventure? In my...
