Exhaustion Invokes Memories
March 5th, 2010
Standing in front of my parents' kitchen sink, I found simplicity. A glass of water in hand, glistening in the lazy morning light, was the only sustenance my body needed. Gingerly, I swallowed the .....
Aromas Of The Past
June 14th, 2009
The other day was a pleasant reminder of the aromas of my past. As weird and quirky as that sounds, it did bring back many memories both good and bad. Funny how something so reminiscent can be so s.....
Confidence
October 2nd, 2008
Julius, a good friend of mine, asked me a question the other day. What makes you confident?
The question caught me off guard. I didn't have a good answer, in fact I didn't have an an.....
Running
May 14th, 2008
One of my favorite pastimes is running. Over the past year, trying to keep up with it feels like chasing a rabbit at a racetrack. I never catch the rabbit and die trying. However, I'm slowly beginn.....
An Answer to a Common Question
October 15th, 2007
Where have I been? To put it quite simply, I've been everywhere but here. Actually, the reason for my long absence is due to a rather difficult test which is approaching. I've been using any of the.....

Giving Up The Future
June 24th, 2006
A race commences on the first day of July, a race I will no longer be participating in. The trail runs 15.5 miles, a 25K race. Coming to the harsh conclusion that I am not ready, I have become disg.....
I Want To Fly Away
May 16th, 2006
Fuzzy, fuzzy was a bear; fuzzy, fuzzy had no hair; fuzzy, fuzzy wasn't fuzzy was he? I remember that little riddle from biology and the question it posed, was fuzzy really a bear? No, he wasn't. He.....
A Breath of Fresh Air
May 8th, 2006
Skirting along the edge of freshly cut grass on a familiar trail, everything smelled so good. The apple blossoms, the lilacs, the barbecues, the bon fires, the air. Summer was really in the air. An.....
April Showers
April 2nd, 2006
These Minnesotan skies have been painted with clouds, throwing down rain and keeping the air cold. No more a reflection of April than of my weekend. I lied when I said I didn't know why I ran. The .....
Not Stopping
April 1st, 2006
I ran yesterday. I checked my archives and it appears the last time I ran was February 6th. Almost two months, two. I just felt like running yesterday. I probably shouldn't have gone for a run. Aft.....
