So I saw Juno last month and I LOVED it. I thought it was funny, sarcastic and extremely well-written. It gave a unique insight into our generation that only a talented screenwriter could accomplish. I became instantly smitten with the mysterious person behind such a great indie movie.
Imagine my delight when I […]

February 18th, 2008 · No Comments

I wanted to share this book that I have recently finished reading. It is unlike any book I have read and while I am inclined to call it an autobiography, I think a better name for it would be a self portrait. Written by Amy Rosenthal, An Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life is […]

I have just begun my final semester as a college undergraduate student, and while my focus has been mostly on graduation preparation, career opportunities and possible re-location, one of my courses (Advanced Creative Non Fiction) is allowing me to keep partial focus on my passion for creative writing (thank you Professor Smith).
In my last […]

“You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometime, you’ll get what you need”

October 11th, 2007 · 4 Comments

So I’m sitting here at my family’s computer, marveling at how beautiful the cloudy, dusty pink fall sunset looks right now. I’m still home, nearly five months after graduation. I’m working part-time down at my church and blogging for this great Web site right here. I can honestly say I’m not 100% […]

A call for some kind of resolution…

September 14th, 2007 · 5 Comments

I’m sorry I haven’t really blogged about school yet, GHQ!
Anyways, to get started…
I really love the school. I have a lot more freedom then at my old school, (free periods, choosing classes and electives, etc.) but I have been having some issues.
