Update

So it has been a while since I have been on here to do any kind of update.

* First off, got really sick had a fever for 4+ days and finally decided to go hospital and ended up getting hospitalized.

* Work has had some very interesting calls (I'll save that for the grape vine)

* I had my finale probationary physical and shooting qualification, and well it went good.

Now on to actual writing and not a bullet point.

So if you go through this blog, there is several entrees regarding certain moves and travel. I love going to new places. Even more so I love movies dealing with adventures and experiencing those new places. I am not entirely sure why I love watching those movies and why I could re-watch it but I do. I do have feeling its the fact I like adventures. New places are away to open up oneself and see what is out there. Due to the fact I really can't do that right now, movies give me that opening.

I have thought so much about traveling and adventuring out to the places I do not know. I think that is the reason why I go out on road trips. Most of the time they are random and that is the way I like it. Sometimes I have a certain destination but the rest of is random.

One of these movies is "The Art Of Travel." This movie is about a kid that just goes on adventure after setback in his life. One of the greatest parts of the movie is when he travels to Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu is one if not the major thing that I have to see. It is the quintessential number 1 on my bucket list.

Another, new movie that has come out is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." I swear I had told myself when seeing the previews that I had to watch this movie. As I was watching the it on DVD that I had bought I was kicking myself for not buying in blu ray. The screen play is based of the short story in which I well try to find it soon. I have to say the random adventure was amazing. I think everyone needs to have a point where one has to adventure. Go out into the vast beyond, to find oneself.

In all I think that is what adventure is. Going out to new places adapting and finding how and what you really are. I hope one day I can find away to take an adventure like these two movies show. I know it may not happen anytime soon, but I can truly hope for it. Right now I'll keep my local adventure and writing those stories until I can take a big trip. Sooner then later it will happen.

Anyways here is a you tube video of a song that is on through out the movie "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty." The song is kinda about adventure and going out into the wild.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

In the blanket of dark, light creates itself.

For years now I have looked outside this window in my room. I have laid my eyes on the Santa Rita Mountains and have seen a different image every time I opened my curtains. My eyes have seen this timeless face change into a unique image every second of everyday for the past seven years. Through that time I have seen those mountains a far and at close. Through that time I have seen changes upon those rock formations. The four seasons bring four changes as predicated earlier. Spring season brings the new sprouts, new leaves, new young in the animals and even what seems to be new fresh start to a year. Summer brings the warmth, brings season to those of young who just arrived, and the rains of the monsoon come to prepare those for later. As those rains dissipate and the temperature begins to cool, the mountains change again. The leaves of youth fade color and start to show their age. Yellow, gold, brown and red cover the canopies and ground like a brilliant picture. The now...

Yearly, year in review edition 2011

The year 2011. Began with so much hope, struck by tragedy in the early part and became quite through the remainder. As stated in the first part 2011 was to be a year full of promise. A year in which I thought a large amount of change would occur in my life, on a good note. Several months later I would find that not to be entirely true. I had just graduated from college a few days before the start of this year and was full of hope and eager to move forward. I had great friends to help through some of the challenges that I know I would endure. I was ready for this year probably more than any other year before, oh how wrong I was, and how this would be shown with eight days in the year and several times later. January 8th, the first test in my faith of the year. Not many people through out the world well remember the 8th of January, 2011, but I can almost guarantee that the people of Tucson well remember it. Several people, some of which my family knew, were shot brutally shot by a perso...
