  • New Poem

    This poem is a little unusual for me.  I’m not sure I like it, but it is definitely how I’m feeling about things…

     

    She’s Quite a Ride

    self loathing roller coaster
    of twists and plot turns
    chains of events beyond
    the control of the wildest
    daredevils, wheels spinning
    through the globe of discontent
    inhaling humanity and sanity

  • Back from Hiatus

    Well,

    The summer classes didn’t go quite as well as I would have liked, but I ended up with a B+ in both classes, so I guess that’s not too horrible.  My GPA is at a 3.65, and with graduation set for December, I’d like to see if I can somehow pull it up to a 3.7 to graduate magna cum laude.  Where it is now, I’d graduate cum laude, which is okay too.

    Please keep my dad, Bruce, in your prayer and thoughts.  He has been in the hospital since May, which is why I haven’t really been posting.  I have been taking the weekends to go how to Lansing, Michigan.  This has been exhausting me, having done it for the past five weekends, so this weekend I decided to stay in Pittsburgh and just rest.  I’ve been spending a long time talking with my Dad and learning his life story, and he has overcome so much in his life.  I am not sure how much time we have left, but one thing I am grateful for is that there are no loose ends between us.  He has been the kind of Dad that I could always be open and honest with.  Anything I have wanted to say to him, I could do so without repurcussion or fear of being rejected.  That kind of acceptance is hard to find.

    Peace and love to all of you.  I’ll be around now a little more since my Dad has insisted that I take a few weekends off.
