Well it has been longer than a year since I've made a single post. Honestly, I hope everyone has forgotten about this blog, I'm slightly embarrassed by some of the posts I've made, many are humorous though. The original purpose of this blog was to keep my friends, mentors, people who really made an impact in my life back in Portland and Houston updated on my adventures in D.C. and of course I added my political/social commentary here and there lol ;-) But now I'm going to use this more as my personal journal, an outlet for my thoughts, passions, feelings, and rants. Last time I was exceptionally self-conscience of what people thought and how they perceived me through my blog, I won't be nearly as self-conscience this time, this space is more for me than for anyone else. That being said I'm still going to be responsible with what I say, nothing too ignorant lol, offensive or degrading towards others.
So if you're going to return as a regular reader/participant of this blog, keep what I just said in mind, try not to be shocked about what I say or think. My perception of the world is weird, my "truth" is severally flawed, my words are notoriously meaningless but heavy with sincerity and purpose. I don't want to say "enjoy" because again this isn't for you but feel definitely feel welcome to read/participate, maybe there will be something in here you can relate to or even help me with :-) so WELCOME!!!!

Love, Kindness, and Generosity o and Understanding
Hey everyone! It has definitely been awhile since I've made a post, mostly because I have not had any real Internet access also I didn't want to post anything until after I can announce what's going to happen with Howard. Unfortunately, I cannot make any announcement yet, there is still a lot of talk with Reed and Howard going on right now but finalizations and decisions will be coming soon.
On other things however I have to tell you that I have really been blessed and I'm entering 2009 with so many blessings to look forward to. First of all to admit something embarrassing for a moment I had no place to live and was about to be homeless. Well, I never felt I was about to be homeless, I knew something was going to come through but what that was I had no clue. The dorms were closing and I was not going home and very unexpected people came through and taught me things I will try my best never to forget: love, kindness, generosity, and understanding. These words are trite and overused but I have experienced the true and unique meanings of these often times superficial words.
This winter break has re-shaped what I want out of 2009 and has helped me realize how self-centered, inconsiderate, and materialistic I was becoming. I would even argue that I was shown the real meaning of life this break, especially the last portion of it. It was super interesting how the first part of my break showed me everything that was pretty much wrong with the way I live my life and the last part gave me insight into how I should be living and what value system I should maintain. Of course I am not going into details lol but hopefully you all will see better material from this blog from now on.
But yeah, stay tuned! A very important update on my life is coming soon...
