Reflections From the TV

I get annoyed when someone highlights my inadequacies by pointing out that at 25 (my age) some people have written a novel, composed symphonies, discovered things, and invented calculus (by accident.) I don't watch a whole lot of TV, ever, but on the occasion which I do, I get slapped in the face. [angry emoticon insert here]

Redemption: According to KT, no one who done all of the awesomeness stated above could or had ever know(n) how to keep it real.

A Letter From a Friend

Wouldn't we all like to know how much farther left to go?

"The universe doesn't owe me a star.  I'm not entitled to understand all the mysteries that occur.  I want to do great things in spite of my poor capacity for virtue.  But at least I've tried to be good to others."

A Year in Review

I'm not sure where to start here.  As the year end draws near, perhaps I should conjure up the thing that I'm probably most thankful about.  In conjunction with still being alive, which I bear a perpetual gratitude for, I took care of my body at the extent of all possibilities.  Having incurred a pretty hefty auto-accident, numerous running-related injuries (ie falling, sliding off a muddy surface, twisting an ankle, hitting a tree branch, etc.) and working in a lab rife with infectious pathogens I have suffered the least amount of sickness compared to all the previous years of my life without the aid of vaccine or any preventative medications.  There are a lot of honorable mentions to credit for the above including my dogs, friends, long hours of meditation, lentils, and virtually everything that was gracious enough to intersect with my existence for the good.  Life is great, and it will be even better next year.  More to come, thanks for reading!
