Well here we are, 1 month later. Standard procedure... A lot of shit has happend but really nothing worth noting. Do you guys really care what's going on in my life? Because I'll tell you right now, it's pretty lame. I get up, go to work, do the same thing for 5 days and then do something like go climbing, camping, biking, or drinking. I've been doing this for the past month. Nothing exactly exciting. Is there even anyone who reads this? Ok, enough...
So how is everyone else's life?
I wonder how truthful people are when they write public journals. I'll tell you that I definitly leave out things...

An Interesting Article
http://www.the-scientist.com/2008/6/1/32/1/ . The magazine is called the Scientist (duh).
This article is an interesting look at evolution. Give it a chance... I know it's long. Anyway, please read the article and let me know what you think.
On another note; I've been thinking a lot lately of what I want to do with my future. Am I capable of surviving grad school? Am I smart enough? Sometimes I just don't know. I mean I could get smarter, spending all of my free time studying up on everything. But if you know me at all you would have to agree that I don't think I can do that. I do feel like I am settling down a bit I guess but still... When I'm at work I feel like I know very little and everyone is gaining knowledge around me exponentially while I'm still adding by 1's. I'm ok with being what I am right now, for the rest of my life, but there is a little voice inside me that keeps telling me to get my Ph.D. I would love to do that honestly. That would be my dream, that and have a wife haha. Honestly, I don't know if I can do it...
Thoughts?

Finally got my interent back...
Sorry all my loyal readers...all 4 of you. I have since moved, I'm all on my own now! It appears that I'm all growed up. Not much has happend in my other aspect of life. Same ol' shit different day as the old cliche goes. Kinda weird how that is always what someone says when you ask them what's new in their life. Or at least some sort of derivation of that. Is it because we are embarassed about how dull our lives are? Do we not deem our lives worthy for tale? hahaha.
Going down that last thought path. Imagine yourself in say the 10th century. What job do you think you would have? Given your current career path where do you think you would be. We all know who we would want to be. Ask yourself honestly. I believe those times required more courage to even survive let alone be the person you wanted yourself to be. This line of thought begs the questions; where and why did we lose that inner strength. Was it all out of simple necessity? Of course it was.
I read an awesome quote the other day in a magazine. There have been many spoken about climbing and I believe this one rings as true as any if but for me.
"There is something about grabbing onto rocks that allows me to let go of everything else." Climbing allows me to focus on nothing but the rock. I forget about everything that is bothering me. However; those troubles, in the big picture seem petty. Meh, climbing is good for the soul. End of Story

Huh, a new record
Wow, two days in a row...
So as of late, I've had a lot of inspiration in my life. All of it coming from many different sources. Some artistic, some lifestyle, some personality wise. All of these are, at least I believe them to be, changing me completely. I feel more drive now, more eagerness to see what lies ahead and conquer it. To try something that I normally would have totally shied away from. I am inspired by the words of artist whom I've never heard before. It's like my eyes are finally opening as a new pup's would. Now don't get me wrong, I was perfectly content the way I was; but now I feel so much excitement in my life. There are the occasional moments of trepidation and sometimes I feel like I revert back to my old self but I can't forget where I came from right? I wonder who I will turn into once I'm finally settled down from all of this. I hope that answer doesn't come for a while though.
It's kind of interesting that I get to see a relationship that's "working" from the outside. My roommate just got engaged to his fiance. I watch them interact with each other. It's like people watching people you know. There are times when I would say to myself that I would do things differently and it kind of makes me wonder, who is right? The obvious answer is them but I wonder if my ideas, wouldn't make them more happy. However I can't just tell him, "hey, go to a movie with her once in a while, she'll thank you later." It's kind of an unwritten rule that guys just stay out of other guys relationships. Definitly makes you wonder.

Wonderings
It's been a while since I last wrote...Sorry about that. My computer decided to not work for like a month. Pretty neat*
I often wonder, where will I be in 5, 10, 20 years? To be honest, I just want to know. What is it like to know that you could spend the rest of your life with one person? What happens when you meet them? Will I ever? I am only 23 but I can't remember the last time I've held a relationship for more than a month or two.
On another note, I am really excited for this summer. Colin and I have so many plans for climbing. We are gonna push ourselves further than I have ever been before. It's exciting to see what we accomplish by the end of this season of climbing. To see places and views that few people ever get the chance to experience is a thrill like no other. To have a friend who, on a regular basis, I trust my life with is a bond that is amazing.
