Saw Atmosphere last night in Rochester, for the first time. Soooo good. Hip-hop shows are so much different than metal shows. People are just there to sing and dance. People don’t dress the same or take themselves too seriously. I have been to a few rap shows now and they definitely provide something metal shows don’t. That doesn’t mean I won’t go to metal shows anymore,...

I try to do too much and I have no time for myself. 52 work hours per week, 4 mornings in the gym and 12 credits at school. Time to tone it down.

Ben Does Life.: On the new year and new goals.... →

bendoeslife: Some of the best writing advice I ever got was from my favorite teacher, Dr. Bolter. She always preached the importance of thinking small. “Focus on the micro,” she said. “Broad stories are boring stories.” And that’s my New Year advice. Think small. I think the biggest problem we have with… I love this guys blog, and this is such a good way at looking at things.

The best part about being a diligently healthy eater, is that when you DO eat buffalo wild wings…it tastes 100x better.

Nothing like nine seasons of intervention to make me feel good about watching intervention alone the evening before my 25th birthday. Go me.

I just learned that a guy I went to high school with (we were not friends, just acquaintances from time-to-time) has committed suicde in a hotel room. He took a photo of the gun and sent it to his family before doing so. This really is a tragic situation. We are all 25 or turning 25. We are at the prime of our lives. We are getting married, having kids, graduating college (for the late bloomers),...

Tyler

Just under a week ago my brother Tyler entered a chemical dependency program at Hazelden in Plymouth. For many years in his life, Tyler has bee dubbed down by prescription drugs that prevent him from learning coping skills and having any empathy towards anything. He has used his ‘disabilities’ as a crutch and used them to manipulate my parents in to giving him money and things that he...

Today I was driving to work and was listening to a conversation I heard on the radio. The DJ’s were talking about a book that someone wrote about how everyone cheats on their spouses, and marriage goes against nature. That the only reason marriage still exists is because it’s a tradition. They said that everyone will cheat, and I TOTALLY disagree. If you can’t control yourself...

I haven’t really been feeling like myself lately. I’m going through another one of those phases where I worry all the time, seemingly about everything but something in particular. I think what I do isn’t enough and i’m not making everyone happy. This comes at a weird time, especially since I just started my new job last week and I love it SOOO much. Need to try to stay...

For Evan (don't worry, nobody reads my blog)

I know you don’t like to talk about your feelings, or anything like that, but here is where I put mine. So deal with it :] Over a year after your accident when I saw you getting tattooed in the shop, something drew me to you. As a few years went by and I would see you more and talk to you occasionally, I could tell that you were just a genuine person and someone that I could enjoy being...

Sometimes having friends just isn’t worth it. I’ve had the same best friend for ten years or so, and being in a relationship like that isn’t much different then being in a relationship with a significant other. It takes work, you have to spend time with each other, and it has to be equal. I have found that this particular friendship has run its course. People grow up, get...
