Today is Pi Day. Pretty much one of the most important days of the year. Really, this world runs on math and physics. It’s about time more of us celebrated math. We celebrated Pi Day in my eighth grade math class once. Everybody brought in something round to eat and we measured either the diameter…

Great Uncle Eugene passed away yesterday. He will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him. As I was thinking over the last several years I discovered that each moment I spent with him was precious. There wasn’t any time that being with him didn’t mean something. I could write thousands upon thousands of words…

I recently read Matched, by Ally Condie. It’s been popular since it was first published. It’s a dystopian novel that takes place, interestingly, in the not too distant future. The government is called simply the Society, with “officials” in positions of rank. What I found most interesting about this particular dystopian society (fiction has presented…

I find this inspiring. To think of finding something you love so much when you’re that young and to spend the rest of forever doing it. That seems perfectly unattainable to me. I wrote out a list of my priorities a few days ago. I find it almost embarrassing how clarifying this simple exercise was.…

It’s a well-known fact that winter my favorite season. Okay, it might not be well-known, but if you ever care to have a conversation about winter I will defend it quite vehemently. I think winter gets a bad rap. There’s something so cozy and snug about winter. It’s easier for me to know where I…

This is my new best friend. Except without the straw and the lid. But he sits in my cup holder just like that. We go everywhere together. My mother affectionately refers to him as my super big barf. We’re basically a match made in heaven. I’m considering acquiring a double of him so I can…

I’m just a little black rain cloudHovering under the honey treeI’m just a little black rain cloudPay no attentionTo little me! Dum de dum dum de dum dum dum! This is the song my father used to sing to me when I was a surly teenager, except he would adjust the lyrics according to the…

This I love. I believe very deeply everybody has the potential to love reading. It’s simply a matter of time and finding the right reading material to step them into the world of written stories. After all, we’re tied together by stories. We entertain ourselves with stories, keep each other up to date through our…
