I haven’t been writing.  Truth is, I’ve been running so fast, trying to do so many different things, and desperately trying to become a man as big as I am in dreams, in an insanely short amount of time, that I just got burned out.  I felt like I was jumping off of ambitious cliffsRead more

Running is the closest physical activity I have found to God. I went out running last night at a Minnesota cabin.  Along the way as I cut through a forest, and looked for monsters out of the corner of my eyes.  I didn’t see any between the trees which is good.  The monsters around hereRead more

            I sit in the sun, waiting for my dreams to come true.  The only difference between me right now, and someone who has given up hope in their life, is that I’m still trying.             I’m reclining in lawn chair typing this on the shore of Lake Sylvia, MN andRead more

          Last night I sat in this library and looked around.  Books were everywhere.  The height of the racks felt like skyscrapers and rows felt like I was in a city built on information, and there was so much to pick up and learn.  I felt so small compared to this metropolis-sizedRead more

    Last night I laid in bed and couldn’t sleep.  I felt waves of depression creeping over me like a snake.  I think we all have nights like this.  I’m always pushing myself to make the right decisions, holding myself accountable to reach such a high standard, but sometimes reality catches up to me andRead more

            I live in Minnesota and spring weather brings flashes of warm and cold weather.  Perfect example:  It was beautiful earlier, and now it’s snowing as I write this.  The instability also inspires a lot of interesting, unusual storms of thought to develop in my mind.              This morning, I looked outsideRead more
