How badly do you want it, how badly are you willing to be burned?” This quote has really stuck with me the last few days, its from a book by Patrick Rothfuss that recently finished reading called The Wise Man’s Fear.

Weeks after the fact I realize I have crossed something off of my bucket list, first time in quite some time actually! Number 43. Eat somewhere featured on Diners, Drive-In's and Dives.

As For Traveling…

I've traveled "alone" a lot, in fact 90% of the time when I am traveling I'm going alone. But someone always takes me to the airport an someone is always waiting for me on the other side. For thanksgiving this year, since I live in Florida right now, I traveled home to Ohio. For the…

The 14 Things You’ll Regret When You’re Older

I am standing at the cross roads of a major life transition and I've been seriously dragging my feet in the decision making process. I know that I am capable of anything I put my mind to, and that's not me being cocky I can feel it in every cell of my body; I know…

A Mere Seed

Do you ever find yourself in awe of civilization? I was sitting on a plane last night with a computer in my hand looking down on the vast expanse of technology and electricity and I can't help but wonder what the Wright brothers must think of this or Edison and Mauchly/Eckert, even Columbus. It's truly…

Wonder

Do you ever wonder what it would be like to quit your life? To decide you've had enough of all of it and walk away? I want to pack a bag, buy a ticket, get on a plane, and take off. Just go. I want to wake up on a beach somewhere and see the…
