Welcome to 2015!

Hello everyone it's me Christian! I know I haven't said much recently what with the holidays and all but now I figured it was time to check in. Since the last time I blogged a lot has changed at my home. For starters I'm moving to another room in the house, unfortunately it's due to the recent passing of my uncle. He passed away on Christmas morning, from complications related to a stroke and an infection in his heart. For the last year and a half he had been fighting cancer which at this point was in his bones. Doctors never thought he'd live as long as he did and for that we are grateful. In the end the infection is what killed him due his weakened immune system from all the cancer treatments. He passed away peacefully on Christmas morning.

The mid-week in review: February 6th 2014

We are only in the first week of February and we have already had two major snows and another one could be here over the weekend. It seems like this winter will not be staying quiet at all. When I was little I loved snow because it meant no school but now, I hate snow. I think the moment you have to drive anywhere because you have to no matter what the weather is you hate snow. It becomes your mortal enemy, and you can't beat it no matter what. Unless you live in a desert or the west coast where they don't get snow.


So overall this week has been filled with snow, snow, snow, nothing but snow. When will it end who knows? What I do know is I look forward to spring and summer a lot right now. But besides snow not a lot has been happening this week, most likely because the snow has slowed everything down. There is nothing wrong with a slow week, it's given me a chance to relax and binge watch Parks And Recreation on Netflix. Which by the way is a hilarious show, I have to say thank you to Marlee for turning me onto it recently. Speaking of Marlee she wrote an awesome post yesterday about her amazing time at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It's worth reading just for all the emotions and fun she had that day.

Hopefully, this time next week there will be less snow on the ground but I'm not holding my breath. Till then think warm thoughts my friends!

Finding that missing piece

Goofing around with my love

Finding that one person who is the missing piece of your life is difficult. Many never find that one person, they either settle for something close to perfect or they wander around looking forever. It's been a long time since I have talked about Marlee and the importance of her love in my life. She is that piece I have been looking for. The one person who knows everything about me and what makes me tick. I'm not one to talk a lot about my personal life or myself in general. Anyone who has been friends with me for a long time can tell you it takes a lot for me to open up. It takes a lot for me to express my feelings and thoughts to anyone in person. That comes from years of being picked on and belittled in school, it broke me in many ways. It's only been in the last few years that I have finally started to gain back what was taken from me. Having a group of good friends and blogging more has helped me express myself more then ever before.

Writing under the wire

One of my goals for 2014 is to try and blog everyday and for the first time I am blogging very close to the wire. Which has pushed me into the topic about myself. I don't like talking about myself, as anyone who has know me for a long time can tell you. I'm usually the one who keeps quiet and doesn't tell people about his problems or what makes me a great person. I'm perfectly happy with that, but for once I'm going to toot my own horn for a change.

One of the things that I am most proud of about myself is my ability to write and create under tight deadlines. Throughout college and even right now I always have been able to create my best work when the clock was ticking down to zero. My best papers were always created at the last minute and even this blog post for Thursday the 16th is being done under the wire with only a few minutes to spare. I don't know why I write well under tight deadlines, maybe it's because I like knowing that there isn't any time left to make it? Maybe it's because it ignites my creative juices into overdrive to create something amazing at the last possible second. Who knows, all I know is that I find that to be one of my greatest traits. The ability to create under tight time constraints and with little time to second guess yourself is something I see as a great ability. When working under the gun you are more honest with your work and more likely to create something thought provoking for your reader.

At the end of the day it comes down to the simple act of being able to write what you have to no matter what. This blog entry proves it! 

Back from the dead

It's October and once again I haven't blogged in forever. Due to issues with Wordpress I've decided to make the switch to Google's Blogger tools instead. Hopefully this post will be the first in a long line of post in the future. I'll update with more information later but I wanted to just start saying welcome to the third iteration of my blog. Lets hope this one sticks!
