I Would Walk 500 Miles...and I Would Walk 500 More

Dear Reader,


Today it came to my attention that this blog is approaching 400 posts. It is a little while in the future, but I wanted to start a poll.

What should I do that has to do with the number 400 to celebrate?

There are many things a guy could do that have to do with the number 400:

1. I could run 400 miles by the end of the year. (Hence the title of the post...)

2. I could fold 400 paper cranes. (I've done that before. It takes forever)

3. I could hug 400 people in a week. 

There are lots of things that could be possibilities. However, I need your help to decide. For right now, I will be asking for ideas from you, dear reader. Just comment below with your idea or send me an email/Facebook message. Or text me if you have my number. After gathering several ideas, we will create a survey with the most interesting ideas and post it here and on other social media to decide what will happen. 

Share what you think I should do! Of course I will document whatever the outcome and share with you, my friends. It will be a pleasure to see what ideas come out of the woodwork. 


For your enjoyment, here is a clip of the song for today's post, sung by Ted and Marshall, of "How I Met Your Mother."

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
