A few hours from now I will still be sitting, only in my car on the road, Delaware bound for the weekend!
Tomorrow, the 29th of October, I will be 22 years of age. This weekend bears a halloween costume party that I am really looking forward to attending. It's hosted by Lindsey's Aunt & Uncle and there's usually free drinks. :-) Happy B-Day to me! I'm dressing up as a pimp, and Linz is going to be my "modest" hooker. Besides just being a fun idea, it truthfully was the cheapest thing we could whip up from stuff we had from 2003's costume party and what we found lying around the house. I got this brown pimp hat and glasses that resemble that of which the king wore. Marry that with my brown suit and the bright red large collared shirt I have and I am halloween pimpin!
Anyways, should be fun. I'll keep you posted . . . . get it? . . post, ah never mind.

World On Fire
I have to thank my bro Nick for this one.
View this music video before continuing.

I was taken by surprise while watching that. It is incredible isn't it? Being a producer and knowing full well that those numbers are true (even higher in some places) it made something inside me break to ask the question "What are you doing with what you have?" Forget everyone else. What are you doing about it? Nick even closes his blog posing that question. Personally, I feel that God has blessed my life incredibly, however, should you ask me how I'm doing financially I would immediately compare myself to that 'other guy' who is making more than I do or has a bigger house than me and answer, "I'm just doing ok" thinking all the while, man I'm poor.
But when I really look at it, I am married to the most incredible woman I have ever met, I'm in a career that I love to be in, AND I'm expecting a child soon! The bills are paid and I love my life. Aside from that all I need is to trust in Him. Which is a decision, not a paygrade. I think we all feel like we don't have enough to make any significant change to anyone else. In this day and age, society is telling us that you should just mind your own business because if you try to reach out to your neighbor to lend a helping hand you just might loose it. And those two things are exactly why we don't take action. As Nick so adequately put, "The problem is that we're so often moved internally, but never really do anything about." Does that mean in order to make a noteworthy contribution you have to sponsor a child through world vision? Nope. It means choosing to live your life in a way that others are touched by you. And as a result of that finding yourself being deeply touched by others in ways you would have never imagined possible. Thats my 'two', just let the video speak to you as it may. I know it has me. Keep it up little bro.

Halo Nerd Alert!
On Friday, during our lunchtime Halo brawl, Dan somehow managed to get himself stuck inside a tank...literally! Just look at the pictures to see what I'm talking about. From his view you could only see fragments of the tanks walls depending on where he was standing at the momment. But from my view it just looked like a Flinstones impression. Just thought I'd share the screenshots.
Vector Unveiling
Well I've done it. My first vector piece is completed at last! Actually it only took me 20 hours to complete, the problem was in finding the time to do so.
Blog, meet my beautiful vectored wife, Lindsey. Lindsey, you know blog. The reference picture was taken a couple years ago on valentines day. A day we loved sharing together and eating out at the Olive Garden. Yum. Anyways, if you're family, or for some reason have a strange obsession with my wife, you can download it in wallpaper form here! Click picture to enlarge.
