Collegiate Experience

The night was young. 7 p.m. to be exact. A new friday night, hence new potential for adventure and dismay. I made my round of calls, "hey what you up to tonight?" "hit me up if anything comes up for you." Solid calls, nothing serious. But I've never been one to have someone make my fun for me. I go out and make it myself. So I moblized. Up and down the floor I went, the blue fest was in town. And I was dead sure it be a good time even if we didn't end up seeing those protesters who wanted...Read Full Story

Why is it that 15 years after leaving school , the idea of 5 cent progressive drafts fills my minds on St. Patricks Day morning?  The though of a good buzz before 10am sounds better than just about anything else that can happen on a day like today?  The New York air still crisp but warm enough in the afternoon to enjoy some staggering around outside.Professionally speaking, there is no time for something like this, work needs to get done, phone calls, etc.  Parentally thinking, this time has...Read Full Story

It has become apparent to me over the last couple of days that something is off. I can't say what but I feel the breakthrough coming. I have reach this moment before. It is the brick wall on the path. The path behind it is smooth and fine. The brick wall is there to determine if I deserve the path. DO I fall flat and give up or DO I push on?One of the things I've strived to be is a leader. A great one. I must say it is one of the hardest things to do. I have noticed alot of guys who have...Read Full Story

Today, I came to a point of realization. It wasn't anything more than a simple thought, an insight. I realized I have to get back to my growth in full. I went off the path a little. Yes, I;ve been getting better with girls and everything but it hasn't been coming from a place of drive. It's just been happening. Yes, it is a result of the previous work I've put in but I can't settle. I am no where near my goal. I sat and thought about where I am heading. It was at around 12:30 am that I knew...Read Full Story

Sparks of life still amaze me. What I've come to realize is life doesn't ever really yield to our wants. We end up having to adapt to it and some people are better at that than others. Though every once in a while life seems into include us in its higher plans.I experienced something that seem really close to a spark yesterday. I have experienced more than my fair share of these since I've been in college. This adventure like many of others involves a girl.It began a while back. I saw her in...Read Full Story

I ran into an old friend today. Mcd's once again served a purpose. It fasinates me the immediate reaction I recieve from people who I haven't seen in a long time. Whether the relationship between myself and them paused on good terms or bad ones, the immediate reaction is always the same. A shocking smile, intense and believable. I find myself immediately drawn to this, I give back and intense reflexive reaction. It doesn't matter what happen in the past, all that matters is that moment. So...Read Full Story

This friday was amazing. It began with me running around my dorm, bored. The smell of booze was coming my way as the hour hand was about to hit 8. I had no means to booze, no need really. All I ever want is to have girls to talk to, as a friend from last night would say, to mac. By the way I hate the term, mac. Anyway, I make a few calls. I still feel the sweat from playing soccer on Stank field. It still amazes me that I can sweat in cold winds. The dried up sweat was weighing me down. I...Read Full Story

Almost went over again. Anyway today was inspiring. I had real cool text convo with someone the previous night that got me thinking about several things. It is pretty interesting how small things can have huge impacts. So I spent about an hour looking up quotes then cutting and pasting them around my desk and laptop. My favorites are:The trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.Hell, there are no rules here -- we're trying to accomplish somethingLife is change. Growth is...Read Full Story
