Sometimes the things that are meant to be don’t happen. Sometimes the things that aren’t meant to happen do. Every choice we make affects our future options. (ya, I’m not a Calvinist, obviously. ;)
Every door we close or open actually closes or opens a hundred other doors.

fate… or the lack thereof
good morning, world
It’s 4:22 a.m.
I’m writing a 7 page paper to turn in at 8 o’clock.
I know you’re jealous. ;) But honestly, you’re missing the best part of the day by sleeping right now. The birds are singing like crazy out my window. Makes it kind of hard to write about microeconomics. Yeah.
Have a beautiful day, people!

John Adams, part 2
Yay! 2 comments (Robby on facebook and Mary on HSA).
Mmkay, here are my thoughts: In essence, I believe John Adams is saying that the work of the fathers builds a foundation for the children to go farther. This is a great thing and quite true. And it’s also true that a [...]
John Adams
For some reason I found this quote fascinating. Absolutely true, and yet slightly lacking something.

I am disturbed by my incredible lack of productivity. And by the fact that I can’t ever take a day off without feeling guilty about it.
Oh, well. [...]
battle
I hate it when I get this honest.
I’m tired of this war. The edges of my sword are getting dull. I don’t want to fight anymore. In fact, I think I gave up the hope of winning a long time ago and that’s why it feels like I’m losing. Maybe it’s because I don’t have my [...]
twenty-one
It’s my birthday tomorrow. So they say.
I’m not really that old, am I?
Sometimes I feel older… like 45. The weight of the world and all that. I even have some gray hair. *shock*
Sometimes I feel much younger and wonder when some “real” adult is going to point at me and say, “You! [...]
Hey, y’all
