    This morning, I sat outdoors within that sacred pocket of time between the night and the day. There was nothing but silence. No birds chirping. No rabbits hopping about. No lawnmowers. No cars. Just me and the silence. And, for the briefest of moments, it was perfect. This is the time where decisions are made.…

    As another week draws to a close, I sit here tired, sore and contemplating life over coffee number two; soon to be coffee number three, for those keeping score.

    And, man…Do I so not want to go. Anyone who’s been reading along might know that I signed up for an 8-week course recently, and I am also looking at pursuing an associates degree after that. I’ve been pretty psyched up for it the past week or so, but now that it’s here I really…
