Walt Whitman:Leaves of Grass

This quote kicked my butt today.

“Every day you either live by priorities or you live by pressures. You either decide what is important in your life or else you let other people tell you what is most important in your life.”
- Rick Warren

a bit of this and a bit of that.

Here is a selection of updates, a buffet of thoughts if you will:
1. I recently took up running and was loving it, but unfortunately being a Mahoney means rubber bands for knees and I hurt my left knee. I went to the Dr. today, my usually prompt self was late to my appointment because I [...]

Sigur Ros Concert-Red Rocks

Here are some pictures from the Sigur Ros show Shelley took me and Dustin to. We then took Angie and Fletcher. It was like a real-life example of Pay It Forward people, minus the annoying kid from the 6th sense, whats his name…oh Haley Joel Osmond. Yeah, minus him. Anyway, here are the pictures.

When looking [...]

Things I am really bad at saying:

“I don’t know how to do it.”
“I don’t know where that is.”
“I don’t know the answer.”
“No, I don’t want pancakes.”
“I feel peaceful and content.”
“I am not worried.”
“No, I won’t be able to make it.”
“That is their problem.”
“Yes, I do mind.”

“No.”

I remember 9/11

Right after 9/11 happened everyone had bumper stickers on their cars saying “Always Remember 9/11″ or something to that effect. As if we could ever forget 9/11. If you asked me where I was on Feb. 9, 2003 I couldn’t tell you, or even July 22, 2005, I have no idea, but I know just [...]
