The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.
The tragedy of life lies in having no goal to reach.
It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled,
It is a a calamity not to dream.
It isn’t a disgrace not to reach the stars 
But
It is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. 
—Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays

The tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal.

The tragedy of life lies in having no goal to reach.

It isn’t a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled,

It is a a calamity not to dream.

It isn’t a disgrace not to reach the stars 

But

It is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for.

This one time… Tags

This one time, I realized that 99.9999% of people only read these blogs on Facebook.

You’re missing out the best parts, the tags of my posts!


This one time… OCD

This one time, I realized I suffer from some strange breed of OCD.

I can’t stand using more than a couple pens, it bugs me to know that they’re all half-full.

I’m seriously stressed because I’m worried I’ll finish the black ink in my pen before the other colors.

I love to throw stuff in the garbage, or put it in a “I did that” pile.  I’m working on reading a bajillion books, and I fear that I enjoy FINISHING a book more than actually READING it.


Friendship is unnecessary,
like philosophy,
like art,
like the universe itself
(for God did not need to create.)
It has no survival value;
rather it is one of those things which
give value to survival.
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

This one time… ADD

This one time, I — Hey look, a butterfly!


This one time… Sneakin’ In

This one time, an unnamed friend and I decided to sneak into various hotels to go into the pools.

We never got caught!


This one time… Big Waves

This one time, my family and friends and I got this small inflatable boat, and decided to go up against the biggest and meanest waves around.

It was ridiculously fun, it was akin to riding a bucking bronco, along with 5 other friends, in the ocean. (If that doesn’t sound awesome, you need to get your head checked.)


This one time… Stars

This one time, I watched Star Wars.

It was the beginning of a fascination with the universe that hasn’t stopped!

(What was that one thing that really made a big impact on your life?)


This one time… -YouTube Video-

This one time, I fell in love with comedian Nick Thune.  

(Perhaps love isn’t the right word, but check him out!)  


This one time… Junior Mints

This one time I bought junior mints for my Aussie friend. She got addicted and now I’m sending her 3 boxes the size of my face.

I should feel guilty, but it’s kind of awesome.
