It's funny how I can be taking a "break" and suddenly I feel like I am completely and senselessly wasting my life away. Dustin, get a grip. You are only 24, you might actually need a break, and there is no shame in what you are doing. I was happily discussing dance whatever with a customer, and she asked me that one fateful question that I HATE ( Read more... )

I was recently struck by the notion that this might be as interesting as it ever gets. True, the times certainly are interesting. They are full of lessons, moments, growth, and gravity.

For the handful of skeptics that I have encountered so far: Yes, there really is a city named Sheboygan. It's in Wisconsin. Yeah, the state with the cheese. So far, all of the water is potable. What else should I be asking for at this point ( Read more... )

I am alive. I've been meaning to post a lot lately, but somehow have failed to make the time to get online on a regular basis. I'll just give a short list of highlights for now, I suppose ( Read more... )
