Would You Look At That, I Am Human

Last night I happened to see Michael Phelps win his 7th gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. Through fluke more than anything really. Honestly I’m not a fan of sport, least of all the Olympics. And especially this years round. 

But be that as it may I found myself stopping on swimming while searching for something to watch as I wound down. I thought why not see if Phelps was competing and if he was I’d be up to witness what he’d do next. I had nothing better to do… Continue reading Would You Look At That, I Am Human

I’ll mark my fiftieth post with a announcement of sorts…

I’ve recently been trying to keep to a more frequent posting schedule and am quite happy with what I’ve produced. So from here on in I’m going to try (hard) to post on a more regular basis. I’m shooting for at least every couple to few days. 

I really need to practice the craft of writing in the hopes of being more “comfortable” and less “planned,” if you will. Blogging should be more about spontaneity than anything else, right?  Continue reading Fiftieth Post
