So I wrote two poems. One on decisions and the other on resolutions. The first was written to express the anxiety, stress and discontent that making painful decisions often brings on. The second is to show what it is like once a decision is made, the right decision. they may be a little goofy but [...]
Community. Crisis. and Christ.
I hope everyone enjoys the alliteration I have provided them in my title of this entry. I am a geek for alliteration, just in case you are ever thinking of a birthday gift for me, think...alliteration. Just kidding, cash will suffice. Community, Crisis and Christ. Things I have experienced and will experience time and time [...]
Active Living
Do you understand the theory of active listening? Basically the idea applies to how you listen to someone else. Preferably another human, I am not sure household pets count. What you do is actively listen to what the person is saying. You do not sit and stare blankly at the speaker but you acknowledge what [...]
Vaaaacaaation
So I am on Vacation. A WHOLE week not sitting at work and wasting away. I am spending most of it in South Jersey with some planned trips and expeditions. It could not have come at a better time. What am I doing with all this time off? Well, I am trying something called the [...]
A poem from me to you

Matt and Kyle’s Dorm Life
Here is me breaking my vow not to turn this blog into a journal. So it is now already May 12th and I am on day three of having a full time position at Eastern University. Well, this job doesn't take much skill or dedication but it is a time consuming position nonetheless. To add [...]

These leaves are whistling to me in their melancholy tune Lyrics, strings, percussion have no meaning to those green fingers Hum and shake, Rattle and twitch as they, "la la la" and " mm mm mm" So carefree with a memory short-termed and shallow How quickly they forget their brothers and sisters who have been [...]
Lets be Cliche`
My Freshman year in college is over. Done. Ho Finito. (I have finished in Italian) So here is my question? Is this the end of something or the start of something new? Hug it, embrace it, love that question. I would say that I am a very introspective person and face value is never enough [...]
