So with Christmas coming up in a month and a half, stores are going crazy, advertising agencies are swamped, and the stress is starting to set in. All these things tend to cause me to sit up and say “What the heck?”
I know what Christmas is about, and most other people do to. There are [...]

This has been a particularly good night so far. And I’m pretty sure I know why. Instead of wasting my time by doing something like sleeping, I was spending time with someone who calls me Stephen.
See… that’s my name. But after I was about 16, I started introducing myself as Steve. The result? Pretty much [...]

Alright, so that last post was really long and made virtually no sense. There was a reason I tried to write a serious post… really. That’s why I’m writing this one:
One of my friends from camp, named Lisa, was driving up to college with her whole family. They were going along to help her get [...]

So I was planning on coming home and writing a shallow, entertaining post about my past two days at work. But in light of current events, I can’t get my mind into an entertaining mood. So heads up, I think I’m about to get deep, even though I have no idea what I’m about to [...]

I feel it start. The anger begins to well up inside me. I allow no release
I become quiet… I say nothing
Then it begins to reach a level that I cannot contain. It starts simple at first.
My competitive comments are no longer meant to provoke, but to cut.
I use my skill in words not for fun, [...]

Well, I found a little more time so I decided to try to sum some stuff up.
Mom and Dad, sorry for the phone tag, maybe I’ll have better luck next weekend. Ben, happy birthday again. Matt, how’s long distance treatin ya (has she even left yet?)?
Life at camp has been treating me well. I am [...]

Why do all of my closest, dearest female friends have to do this to me? After we’ve been through so much. We’ve been through thick and thin, and developed a relationship that we thought we couldn’t live without. Our friendship is so strong, that romantic love pales in comparison to the bond we share as [...]

I’m not really sure how to describe what I’m feeling without going into detail. So for all you poor souls that actually read all the way through my posts, I present: The details…

I feel excited. I just went to a college group meeting at a friend’s church and met a couple guys that share several [...]

So I’ve really had a lot of things to write about lately, and so many things that I’ve wanted to write. But somehow, I sit down to write, then decide to do something else instead. Then I’ll stay on the computer ’cause I wanna write, but end up just sitting here doing nothing. I don’t [...]

I just come to the realization, over and over, that all of the things I used to look forward to were illusions.
