Recently, there's been a national debate on whether or not the US Army and White House have conspired to make Jessica Lynch and Pat Tillman into war heroes, simply to give the American public something to cheer about over in the middle east. People will say it's wrong to change or stretch facts to give America hope in a time of war, but what people seem to forget, is ...

"Everything happens for a reason." Spoken so many times by all of us. Have we ever actually looked for proof of this? Blind faith has never been my strong suit. So, does everything really happen for a reason? So many things happen everyday, I can't imaging this is true... but wait a second. Ok, we've all been through something that's seemed like a complete waste of ...

Ok, so it's 7:30am and I'm blogging. Not a usual thing for me as I'll typically roll out of bed a few minutes to 9. Last night makes this even stranger because I was still awake at 2am. I'm not sure what happened to me, but I'm in one of the best moods I've been in, in quite a while. Alright, so I took a Claritin ...

It's been a while, so here I am. A few hours removed from the Badgers ending their season with a loss to UNLV in the second round of the big tourney. It's a shame, really. They could've had a magical year - and in many ways they did - but fell far far short of their potential. This got me thinking. How many of us are actually ...

This is to everyone who thinks global warming is real. First, it's my birthday, so You can't argue with me until tomorrow - when I may have taken this post down already. Second, no where - and I mean NO WHERE, will you be able to conjure scientific evidence that global warming is real. Provable facts include ones such as our planet has had ...

I sit here on my last day as a 28 year old, thinking a lot of things. I think of where it's all gone, what I have to show for it, will the next 28 be any better... I think about people I've known who have touched my life, jobs I've had that helped put me in the position I'm in today, places I've visited and left and ...

I like nature... when I'm outside. I really do. I love a running stream, fall colors, an apple tree, and a walk through a snowy trail. But when I'm inside, I expect nature to stay out. Maybe that's wrong... to think it's ok to go out into nature, but not let it in... but whatever. Which brings me to my current dilemma - the ladybug. ...

It's been a month now. Silent. I've written in my head a dozen times, but the text is illegible to someone who isn't writing it with me. As alone as you can feel with your own thoughts, mine seem to occupy me very well. I'm actually starting to feel crowded. Plus I'm claustrophobic. If you feel something so painful that it makes you change for the ...

Alright, so a long week is over. 5 o'clock is creeping up in a few minutes and then I'm off to some amature NASCAR style races with Heather and Eli. This week has been nuts with the Chicago trip, coming back to hectic work situations [clearing my throat], sleeping poorly... but I'm looking forward to 10 minutes from now. Tonight will be fun as long as the ...
