About Me

I am unable and unwilling to stand in one place for too long. Call it impatient, call it antsy, call whatever you'd like. I call it wanderlust. I've been to four continents and I still have no interest in putting it in park. I recently moved to the District of Columbia. I should have done this years ago. I am a minimalist, a patriot, an open mind and I am always looking for a way to contribute, to make my mark. I am a photographer and an aspiring linguist and writer. I am person building.

Week one

It’s the countdown that should never have happened.

Wait, stop, look at all this now!  Hah!  You would never have imagined all this in the time it took you to wish it all away.  Now, here we are again aching for the passing of what isn't...

Only in America

Something truly incredible has happened.  In the last few days a certain realization has crept upon me.  Maybe it is my yearning to see a better country, perhaps it is my new home, it could ...

Presidential

Throughout the course of this election, and more specifically during the recent Vice-Presidential debate last week, I've been giving a little thought to our founders and how they would see this years ...

Points of light

Several points of light are all that catch my attention now.  They are either too far away or too bright for I can't focus on them, I am in a dark room, a fog of war.  There is sound all aro...

The truth is youve got no chance with me

Crunching under my foot, that drive way.  Loose gravel meets the bottom of my shoe and I shuffle over to 1300 Newton.  The roar of the next plane draws my attention to the fact that tha...
