Welcome

Thank you for visiting my little corner of the world. On this blog you will find observations, examinations, and musings from my daily life. I hope my thoughts will inspire you to avoid taking your life for granted. My quarter-life birthday brought me the realization that each passing moment is stacking up to become the culmination of my life. I hope you and I can both look back at that stack of moments and know that we experienced each to the fullest, making a positive difference for others in the process.

A Great Loss for Journalism. A Great Loss for the American People.





Let us all pause to reflect on the loss of a great American, a fiercely honest journalist.


Tim Russert was known for his tough interviews of politicians from both sides of the aisle. He was always determined to get to the bottom of issues and tell the full story to the public.


To a young American who is concerned about the future of this country, and who was a amateaur jounalist, Tim Russert stood for something. He stood for the power of the First Amendment. He stood for Freedom of the Press.


His insight will be missed during this presidential season 2008. His white board and wipe-off marker will be missed. It seems to add a little extra sadness that he will miss the outcome of this election, something that he surely was completely enthralled with.


"Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost." -Thomas Jefferson
