It has been a nice break the last few weeks. I decided when Christmas rolled around to take a break from blogging for a while. I figured I'd pick it back up sometime after New Year's and today is that day. Not only is it my return from a mini-sabbatical but it also marks the …

it begins…
I have always enjoyed reading but recently I have been reading much more fiction than usual. It started with Harry Potter. I had begun reading those over the summer and petered out somewhere in the middle of the third book. With a renewed sense of vigor I tore through them just before thanksgiving and finished …
I wait for you Matthew Coleman Nix…
The last few weeks are pretty much a blur at this point. I realized today that its been 18 days since I last decided to blog. I can't seem to really remember what was going on 18 days ago other than my friend being in the hospital having blacked out on his birthday. Of course …
And I am not…
While TLC has its fair share of garbage shows like the infamously horrid "Toddlers and Tiaras," the notoriously controversial "Sister Wives," and the laughable yet lovable "Cake Boss" tonight my wife and I watched a new show that is pretty interesting. The show called "All-American Muslim" follows the lives of several families in Dearborn, Michigan …
the men, the myths, the legends… JoePa and Luther
For the past several days now it seems the biggest news story has involved college football icon Joe Paterno.

But rather than spend tonight sitting on my duff, a group of close friends and I decided to resurrect a tradition we had back in undergrad. During finals week a we would find a time …
we’re blood brothers
This Tuesday morning started off as any other I have had in recent weeks. After seeing my wife off to work I sluggishly moved back to bed to get an extra hour or two of sleep before I had to get ready and leave for Starbucks. Tuesdays are the days I meet with my internship …
death sucks
Today when I woke up I had hoped the news from last night would have changed. However, this morning only confirmed the truth I knew the night before, Ozzie Guillen is no longer the skipper for, in my opinion, the greatest baseball team ever to take the field, The Chicago White Sox. A lot of …
you are…
Although it is by no means early in the night I should be going to bed. I have to leave the house in less than 8 hours so that I can get my wife to work and then get back for class, all the while fighting the wonderful traffic of the city I love. Its …
never forget
I'm sure it was difficult for any of us to ignore or be ignorant of the significance of today. Turn on the TV, check the paper, watch the opening of the football season, go to church, and a whole host of other activities served to remind me of the date. 9/11. To be sure this …
