In awe of the One who gave it...”
My sister is driving!
Those are two German girls in the back, Norina, who has been a friend of the family for a few years, and her sister, who I have yet again forgot the name of.. I was calling her the wrong name all night. I really do suck at names!
Good evening. Lots of Uno. And no matter what my sister says, blind uno is never a good idea!

Death Cab For Cutie - Passenger Seat
I roll the window down And then begin to breathe in The darkest country road And the strong scent of evergreen From the passenger seat as you are driving me home. Then looking upwards I strain my eyes and try To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites From the passenger seat as you are driving me home. “Do they collide?” I ask...

I’ve been following Yosi’s for a few years, and he’s an awesome guy. Well worth a read!
Tonight, I watched The Last Samurai.
Now, I’m not a fan of Tom Cruise, but man, he was awesome.
It is an amazing film. Just seeing how the tribe dedicate their lives to a single cause, living. I love how still and silent they were. How respectful they were. It pains me to see what we have lost with our modern culture.
I long for something simpler. For something slower than this...

it wasn’t planned. The goal was to hibernate. Justin Vernon moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter. Tailing from the swirling breakup of his long time band, he escaped to the property and surrounded himself with simple work, quiet, and space. He lived there alone for three months, filling his days with wood splitting and other chores...
I went out for coffee with Alan today. He is an awesome, inspiring guy! His passion for life and the Bible are amazing, and it has been great seeing him grow this last year!
Get me out of this corporate bullshit.
I am 100% sick of making websites for greedy people / companies. I don’t want to be any part of their desire to climb higher in the social ladder, to help them accumulate more stuff, or to give them bragging rights over someone else.
I want to do something that effects people for the better. I want to help someone. I want to do something that people...
