Dressed in our black suits and ties, we saddled up my old S10 and pointed it toward Mount Victory. We didn’t really know […]

It’s a pretty well-known fact. I’m a geek. I don’t sports. In my first years of high school, I failed to see the value in organized athletics. The programs that I involved myself in resided in the shadow left behind by the famed Kenton Atheltic Department. While I attended the games as a social outing, […]

The Fault in Our Stars is a modern-day Shakespearean tragedy. It’s a terribly depressing read, but such a great one all at the same time. These quotes won’t make a lot of sense without that context.

It was always my favorite piece of advice. It always came directly after a complaint of the weather. But the best part was that it related to everything. Bad day at work? Take it as it comes. Bad grade on a test? Take it as it comes. She was many things. We joked around and […]

DON’T LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT ECLIPSE GLASSES! Sorry, I had to. My best friend once said something that stuck with me (okay, he’s said many, but not that I can share on the internet). “A pessimist looks down at his feet, trips, and falls. An optimist looks to the sky and looses his footing, […]
