Castles in the Air – The East End

So I like to dream. I like to dream in detail, even. Why keep them to myself? The “castles in the air” quote is almost cliche, but I love it. I love that we are free to dream grandiose dreams and to work to make them real. I have dreams for what Tulsa can be [...]

Joe Momma’s

I’m at my wife’s parents’ house in Columbia, Missouri right now. It’s the day after Christmas. For the first time in nearly 8 months, I’ve been away from Joe Momma’s for three days in a row.
That didn’t keep me from working today. I brought paperwork up here that needed to be organized and I made [...]

The “ME” I want to be.

So I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about who I am and who I want to be in all aspects of my life. Some of them are simple and somewhat meaningless, while other areas are the biggies.
So…for all three or four of you to read, but more importantly for me to write, here is [...]

College

I’m 28 years old. I haven’t been to college in nearly 8 years. After a few years of racking up huge student loan debts at John Brown University, I moved back to Tulsa and signed up for class at the Community College. I don’t remember the reasons, but I didn’t really go to class and [...]

Rap

The physician in your mind scrawls out prescription after prescription while saying, “This pharmacist will treat you right. He will cure all your pains tonight – Filling up your glass with Bourbon or Gin.” “Hey buddy, where you been?” You wonder to your sad self if there’s a better way to medicate. You dare [...]

I love my boy.

How can you not, right?

Mat Kearney

I can’t stop listening. His music stirs me, his lyrics inspire me. I highly recommend it.
Here are part of the lyrics from “Won’t Back Down.”
You found me once and for all
I laid it down in the sinking ground
The hopeless undertow
Singing out the gentle sound
Rattling through my smoking screens
My broken dreams last night
Hallelujah ripped through [...]

My updated top movie list.

This list is not complete, but here are my top 120ish movies so far. As I remember more, I’ll add them. Enjoy. They are not ranked in exact order, but by the score I gave them. Please know that I was not rating the quality of the movie, but was rating how much I enjoyed [...]

Cath Lab

Every Friday we take pizzas to the Cath Lab at St. Francis Hospital. Often times I am the one to take this delivery. It’s the most annoying delivery we take on a regular basis. It requires parking in an annoyingly crowded part of the parking lot, walking up hill with 8 pizzas, 2 calzones, 2 [...]

Blood Diamond

Go see this movie.
Tonight I went to see Blood Diamond with my friends James and Jeff.  The quick review that I read before it said something about it being preachy and liberal and typical Hollywood.
If it was preachy, then it’s sermon was that we in America should wake up to the fact that our need [...]
