Persistence and Perspective

03.01.2010

I know I’ve been writing a little more introspectively lately. Stories definitely not as funny as some Fat Camp Follies, but I really think that they’re important.

Or not.

Note: this is the fourth post in my Fat Camp Follies series. To see them all, visit here.
I went to Fat Camp during the pre-American Idol days. Hansen were still tiny boys singing “MMM Bop” and Britney Spears and N’Sync were just about the biggest things in the universe to a teenager. Growing up, I [...]

Update on Jet Plane…

11.09.2009

So, after my freak out last night, some of you have shown concern- LOL. I’m not lying, I did have a good amount of anxiety this morning. I just sucked it up and dealt with it. I thought I’d give a quick update while I have Wi-Fi at Panera (grabbing a quick lunch)
Flight 1: packed [...]
