It appears that all along the inspiration and motivation is within ourselves. Sometimes it takes a little push from a friend in order to realize we can do anything we set our minds too. And sometimes it just takes looking within ourselves to realize it was always there, we just had to look a little deeper to find it. So why is change so hard? I suppose I am the type of person that knows I control my own destiny, anything that happens, good or bad, is because of some decision I have made or some action I have taken....so for me, if I set my mind to something then I'll make sure I do it. I guess lately I've just been in a rut that I could not dig my way out of; but ... read more

Motivation: something that motivates; inducement; incentive......so what is it? or where is it? why has it disappeared? Or why can't it be found? So, how do we find the ultimate motivation; that one thing that ensures you make a real and permanent change? Does it literally take hitting that rock-bottom point...or are we able to find the motivation within ourselves when the change is most needed? Is it a person in our life that makes us feel the need to be better, to somehow become a better version of ourselves? So my question right now is: What is the ultimate motivation; that one thing that makes us change? The reason this question has popped up is because of a few circumstances which just happened to occur simultaneously. * First of all, I have had a ... read more

Or more like stretched and strained in 90 different directions. I'm surprisingly not waking up exhausted; but I know that sooner or later it will probably catch up to me. I wish I could say I feel like I am doing too many things; but I honestly do not feel that way at all. Sometimes I feel like I am not doing enough, like I have more than enough free time....like I should add something to my plate. I'm trying to get my routine set-in-stone, I guess. But it is extremely difficult. I am not trying to complain or get pity from anybody or have anybody feel sorry for me; I would never ask for that since I do not even feel bad for myself. But I just need to write things down so that I ... read more

This is where I am right now. And I am not really in Edgewater...I am in Oak Hill, but I was too lazy to go add it on to the list of cities.....so this is what the land looks like: img=http://photos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs401.snc3/24329_611787900232_25105587_35966903_5010634_n.jpg Yes....Orange Trees; I think about nine acres of them. Pretty land, it is great to be able to take the dog in the back of the land and let him run around a bit!! He enjoys it! So, today was a pretty decent day. Besides the nice hangover I had this morning (which Alka Seltzer did an AMAZING job of magically fixing). I worked at the soccer fields from 9:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.; so needless to say it was a long, and tiring day but I am glad when I get to be outside ... read more

The past 24 hours...in a nutshell Currently I am super annoyed with all Microsoft Word-type programs. Apparently it has decided to piss me off while I am working on my study guide for this huge exam I have tomorrow. I made this perfectly awesome template for the study guide, so that all the information I needed would be included; and it decides that it will not let me add anything later on. It is now messing up the perfectly good study guide. I cannot change anything on it without it messing up. So....out of annoyance I am starting over. ha But other than that, today was a super productive day. I ran 3-miles, worked out for 30 minutes and walked for another 15 minutes this morning. Definitely was a much-needed workout. But probably not the ... read more

So since I have established what this road trip means to me...I suppose I should add what the tentative plan is: * Ultimate destination: Las Vegas, Nevada * Four Corners Monument (where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet) * Grand Canyon, Arizona * Oak Creek Canyon -- Sedona, Arizona * Yosemite National Park, California * Bridge to Nowhere -- Los Angeles, California (Bungee Jumping) * San Antonio, Texas * There is more to come for this list; this is just as far as I have gotten for things I would like to see on the road trip * Any suggestions/additions on great places to hike/camp/visit are very welcomed Much of this road trip is going to involve hiking and camping out (a. a way to save money; b. camping/hiking is fun). The plan is to ... read more

There comes a time in your life where you have to make a decision; you have to decide whether to step-up and carve your own path or continue down the trail that has been formed for you by the millions of other people that have walked down it. For me it was never a choice, I have always carved my own path, gone my own direction, walked to the beat of my own drum; so this decision for me was a simple one. Lets start with A little about me: * I currently have one year left of Graduate School (Masters of Science in Criminal Justice), maybe one-and-a-half depending on comprehensive exams, and then I will need to start my grueling job search for a kick-ass job! * I am 22 years-old. * I have played ... read more
