“Instead of letting the day happen to you, YOU happen to the DAY.”

Soldiers... I Honor and Salute YOU
Ever since this land was America, you were here to protect us. Maybe in a different form than you are now, but you have always been there to back us up and fight for what you, WE, believe in. Thank you for that! Some of you have made major sacrifices, which most of America will never know. Some have died for our freedom and some of you are even my friends who. I haven’t spoken to in a...

I always go by two phrases. I consider them my...
1. Live each day like it is your last.
2. Strive to have the best day of your life… EVERY day.
The second one I love because if you do that, you WILL be living each day like it’s your last. We don’t have to skydive, drive a Maserati or win the lottery. Simply go through the day thinking of others and everything else will fall into place.

Man! And I just asked if YOU were ready for the...
My Dad’s EX-employee just threatened to mace me on my own property after I yelled at him for dropping the f-bomb in OUR house in front of MY brother… I’m sorry for standing up for what I believe in, but I’m not going to tolerate that.
Some people are so focused on themselves and their selfish lives.

Craigslist—Awesome, But Sometimes REALLY Stupid.
Craigslist blocked my ability to repost my pet sitting ad.
So Craigslist will allow spammers, but not honest college students trying to pay for school? I’ve never ran into this issue before. I simply repost it a couple times a week just to stay up on top… OF ALL THE SPAMMERS.
Whatever Craigslist.

Being Willing to Be Content
A thought came to me this morning when reading a friend’s Facebook status, so I thought I’d share it with you:
I feel the most important thing is to be CONTENT, no matter where you are, who’s around you or what you have in life. No matter who your friends are, what your job is, if you’re dating, married, engaged or single, if you live in Europe, the suburbs of Chicago, or...

A Letter from 'Max'
Hi! My name is Max, Aaron’s brother’s dog. And Aaron stepped in my pile of poop on the way to his bed last night. The lights were off so he didn’t even see it! It was great. The End. Have a great day!

WatchMy dog Ginger has been very sick with cancer and isn’t expected to live much longer. This is a tribute to her. It mostly is an attempt to help me cope with losing her. I love you girl.

Craigslist Creepers — Is There Such A Thing? There...
I don’t think I have ever been more caught off-guard. I was like… “WHAT? Why do you need to know THAT?”
So yesterday… a guy called off one of my CL ads. (I have three different work ads offering services to make money as a college student) He asked me some different questions about what I could and couldn’t do regarding lawn cleanup. Then we somehow merged...

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

Cliché — It's More Than Just A "How Are You?"
I really wonder about people sometimes… have you ever? I mean, why do people insist on asking the same exact questions time after time… you’d think they’d get tired of it. But, no. They don’t. Well, I sure do and I’m sure you would too if you had to keep answering these over and over. What really bugs me, aren’t even the questions themselves, it’s...

A Poem to My Mom
You are my mother and my friend, Which is unusual. Somehow our characters must blend: Your wisdom and my will.
I turn, and you are there for me; I speak, you understand. I feel cared for, but also free; You lead but don’t command.
I’m fortunate that I was born To someone just like you; I love you, not just as my mom, But for what you are and do.

A True "Gleexperience" (Please see note at bottom)
Wow, I watched Glee for the first time (cuz I was bored outta my mind) last night with some friends… (girls specifically) Can I just say… Holy COW they get into that show! …Calling people crude names, yelling at actors, screaming when someone comes into a scene. It was most definitely a “Gleexperience.” Note: Gleexperience was developed by me and it is now...
Ahh! The smell of fresh cut grass!

Osama Bin Laden — Finally Dead
It’s all over Twitter, Google, Facebook… and NOW TUMBLR! Osama IS dead! Here’s my take…
I’m thinking the U.S. has known where Osama Bin Laden has been for a while, but why would the CIA tell the media and spoil everything they’ve worked for? That’s like telling a fat kid you have a doughnut, but you’re not giving it to him… completely...

Being There...
I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately… always “being there” for my friends. I put a lot of time and effort into it and feel it is very important to always do your best as a friend to help others. Problem is, we don’t always know how to help them or what is wrong, but I’ve learned to do my best to try and still help. I let my friends know, if you need...
