"There's always someone fighting for you."

sonder - n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

Why the heck is music so awesome? Like seriously, I get so inspired every time I hear it. In different contexts especially. 
Like just now, I imagine a story being told between two people across the globe. These two listen to the same radio station every day at the same hour. At this hour, anyone can request any song they like. These two people both request songs that reflect their own story, so they can express it to the other person. Instantaneously. A story is told. Now imagine this, the two people don't know each other at all. Each isn't aware of the others song request. However they both feel the emotion and story telling though music.

Bliss. 

Speed bump Blogging

No, I'm not writing this while going over speed bumps, or driving for that matter. I did however drive over some dastartly speed bumps today. They were actually right by my work, and WOW, were they large.
Have you ever seen a tsunami? Well imagine that, but in speed bump form. These things were so huge, that my car literally scrapped underneath them.
Now, before you go yelling off that I am a fanatic about oversized speed bumps, hear me out. There were not one, not two, but three speed bumps on this road. And I'm talking no more than 10 feet apart! Like, this was a rollercoaster ride of both rubber, metal, and emotions.

going to work might never be the same....

Okay, I got the chance.

I had to plug in earbuds to write this lol....
Guys, last night I became a Daniel's Scholar. This night was utterly amazing.  Feeling this at peace and honored was well... an honor! Meeting a whole bunch of new people and amazing friends has been one of the greatest experiences of my life. I will never forget the amazing people I met here, and the memories I made. Daniel's Fund has changed all our lives, and it isn't over yet!

Fallout 4 happiness.

Guys, the time is now. Fallout 4 has just blown my mind. Now, I know what your thinking, "This guy is too obsessed."
And for that, you'd be right. Not only have I just recently been introduced to this game Fallout 3, but getting this amazing news that the sequel is just around the corner is astonishing. November can't come soon enough.

IHOP Epiphany

Spent the night with some amazing life-long friends at IHOP who told me that I should start a blog! Hopefully this will be enjoyed by many. I will be updating this regularly throughout college.
