This is just some of my artwork and photography.

And at the end I had to add the picture of me facing my biggest fear: whales. It was at House on the Rock in Wisconsin. My friend took me there over springbreak without telling me they had a 300ft sculpture of a whale fighting a 200ft squid. It was terrifying needless to say. My palms were sweating, my heart was pounding, it hurt to breathe. Sounds silly I know. But I guess that's why I forced myself to walk up to it and face it.

creepy. there was a boat inside of his mouth.

So far my summer has been something I can't complain about.

My family is getting along pretty well.

My sister and I seem to be on a better, stronger track with one another.

I'm beginning to do a great deal of demolition and rebuilding in my life.

I have a great deal to ponder and reconsider in my life, especially spiritually. I just started thinking about how often I used to pray when I was younger, how much more faith I had. It seems that everytime I go to church now I feel myself about to burst into tears, as though there's a flood gate that wants to be released. I feel as if I have constricted the faith within me and I find myself so compelled to return to that again. I hope this summer I can do some personal changing and healing. I want to be a stronger, happier, wiser, and more spiritual person. To change for the better. To find true peace within myself.

Book: What book would you like to see made into a movie? 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Stephen Chbosky

Perks of Being a Wallflower. No doubt about it. While it may be difficult to adapt this to film, it would be interesting to see how they'd do it--whether they'd have him writing his ideas out, having a narrative over the scenes as Charlie interacts with his friends, etc.

If anyone has ever seen the movie "The United States of Leland", I can imagine Charlie being very similar to Ryan Gosling's character--outwardly naive and almost seems cognitively slow at times, but it's because he's so absorbed in his own thoughts and soaking his surroundings in.

"Audio: It's 70's music Wednesday."

So to celebrate 70's music Wednesday, I will add a few songs that my dad and I would listen to together. I can still remember sitting in the car on a chilly December night, huddled in the backseat, heading to Wilmot Mountain to watch the skiiers and drink hot chocolate. Those were the days.

Well I thought I'd give this a shot.

I had a xanga, but am thinking about getting rid of it. After doing some random clicking of profiles I began to realize how disgusting xanga has become and how juvenile it really is. I'd like a fresh start!

So here's to Vox :)

Comments are welcome. I enjoy meeting new people.
