5 Ways to Get Out of Your Own Head and Start Creating
Someone very close and dear to me came to me last night with a problem. She’s been unhappy with her ability to simply get things done. We all suffer from this. We’re human. We’ve all meant to go do “that one really important thing” and then spent the next seven hours on Facebook, on YouTube, […]

Book Review: Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks 2.5/5 stars
Let me start off by saying: I love Fantasy. There are times, however, when I decide that I hate fantasy with every fiber of my being. Most of these times are when I’m in a book store and I spend an hour in front of the Fantasy/Sci-Fi shelf (which, let’s be real, the fact that […]

Book Review: A Game of Thrones, Book 1
A Game of Thrones is many things; Beautifully written, however, is not one of them. By beautifully written here, I am referring to Martin’s prose.

Music Mondays: Yellowcard “Ten”
Yellowcard has been my favorite band since freshman year of high school. This song is about a personal experience that the lead singer, Ryan Key had. I view it as one of the most pro-life songs today.
Couples Photo Shoot
So I went down (up?) to Cleveland for the Super Bowl. While we were there, Emma’s sister, Rosemary, offered to do a photo shoot for us. It was a great time for us (besides having very cold feet) because we haven’t had very many pictures taken of us together because usually one of us is […]
