This is taken for a journal I have to keep from one of my classes this semester on the question of What is History? The first question that deserves personal reflection is what may seem as relatively simple and yet it is crucial. “What is History?” It is hard for me to state what my answer to this question was when I first entered university. The first time that I can remember answering this question was during my HIST 301 class which posed the question. At that time I had taken mainly survey level classes and I responded that history is the future as we can only moved forward if we understand the past. There are a few assumptions I had with this theory, the main one being that I meant not only one’s personal history ... read more
I am that which shall never be again. Trapped in the lost time between now and then. Those who stand around me are never really there For they exist not now but then. Days, years, era’s, and eons Shall pass until I return for We are but ghosts shackled to the past. And yet I can not stay here For my path is in front of me Awaiting for the first step.

That trip and the friends I made there have impacted my life so much that it has been a difficult summer to know how far away they really are. On top of which I am concerned with how the fall semester is going to play out because it’s packed with classes and work and running and other things. I keep telling my self to take one step at a time ... read more
Where does one begin a story, do they start at the beginning, if that is the case then we've 23 odd years of catching up to do. Does it start at the here and now, well its still 23 years later. Or does it remain timeless; I think this is the best spot. So here I am, 23 years into this thing we call life and starting a blog because I would like to leave a record behind, even if it is only for myself. I'm horrible at these things because I tend to want to write too much and get frustrated and usually give up or forget to write one day and once that happens its all to easy to stop. So why now, well for one it raining out and as much fun as ... read more
