Reminder...

This World Is Not My Home...

As I lay in bed and ponder over the days events I am thankful that even in the midst of an event that seems like turmoil I am reminded that this world is not my home. Nor are the things that i own, mine. All of the things that we work so hard for and cherish too much are simply, things. Things that are entrusted to us for a time. I am truly thankful for the things I have but events like today are a reminder that nothing I have is truly mine, as much as the selfish little kid inside of me tells me otherwise. Everything can be taken from us in the blink of an eye.

I have more thoughts on the subject, but it is 2 a.m. and I need some sleep for work tomorrow. Hope this note finds you well. (by the way, thankfully no one was injured in this accident)

Wow!!

Two things that I would have never put together have been very creatively and (in my mind) successfully pulled off...

Beatboxing and playing the flute..... at the same time.

Check this out. Thomas Edison filmed some of the first bike tricks ever done on film.
It turns out that the new fixed gear craze is not as new as we thought.

Circa 1899.



If you think this is a fake, think again. it can be found in the Library of Congress HERE.

Sometimes...

Sometimes I wish I was brave enough to make a fool of myself like this....

Once he realizes he's on the jumbotron he jumps straight into action.

- no hesitation.

No more words are needed.

Awesome!

I know, I know....

I haven't felt up to blogging lately so I simply haven't - obviously.

What have I been up to lately?

- working, A LOT!

- watching Lost

- playing basketball (poorly, I might add - but still having fun)

- riding my new bike when the weather cooperates

- trying to read a book on the Puritans

- getting ready for my Colorado trip (I leave on Sunday!!)

- re-growing my beard for my Colorado trip

Hopefully you'll hear from me sooner than later.

-now I'm off to go for a short bike ride...
