Just One More Thing

This is the time of year that I hate.  Boy does that sound pessimistic.  But  I don't like this time of year for one main reason, the birds. I like the nights getting longer and the changing of the weather from cool temps to high (just not too high, now) and I like being able to pull out the shorts again. But man, those birds. You might know what I'm talking about. Because with spring comes the blooming of trees and such, and with all that comes the birds. (Not to mention the allergies but that's a  separate  rant in itself.) Those little birdies come and sit outside your window and chirp away at all hours of the morning and they're just so darn annoying. Maybe they're out there at other times of the year but to me I just start noticing the noise in spring. The whole situation makes me want to go all Fiona on them but then, that's not very nice. We actually have one bird who hangs out on our porch quite frequently and he might have even made a ...

I miss Breaking Bad. I miss Walt and Walt Jr. I miss Jessie. I miss Hank & Marie. I miss Pollos Hermanos, which just so coincidentally seems a lot like the real life Bojangles. I can't really say I miss Skylar because I was never a big fan. I miss Mike. I miss that old western music and the wisp of smoke in the intro to the show. I was in one of the buildings on campus recently and saw a guy who looked like (spoiler alert) Walter White with his big ol' beard at the end of the show. And recently, I was talking to my brother about the show, my brother who picked up watching the show based on my watching it while I was home at the end of last summer break and more prominently over last winter break. He had just finished up watching the series finale (Speaking of series finales, still bitter about the Lost finale for anyone who cares.) so we were talking about it a little bit and then I realized as I was walking around campus the other day that my life, in a way, is like Wa...

It's been about two months since I last posted anything on this blog. In that time Flappy Bird has come and gone , Canada won gold in Olympic hockey (again), my mother attended a Demi Lovato concert, and I've tacked on a few more weeks dating a pretty incredible young lady. I've written before about my intrigue in time , and I was thinking just the other day how interesting it is when I look back on how far I've come these last few years, in so many aspects. I think I started "coming out of my shell" a little bit when I was a senior in high school. Around that time I believe I engaged myself more in a social life but I was still a little bit reserved (if anybody who knows me can believe that). That introversion continued, to a degree, when I first stepped foot on Clemson's campus 31 months ago, although when it came to those first few weeks of classes I felt like I was on one of the carousel rides at amusement parks. So much activity! So much to do! So...
