Love...

Not a gift from God, but the reality of our drive in everything we do. There are all types of Love, Love for oneself, Love for others, Love for your God, Love for your boats, Love for your cars, Love for money, etc. We do everything for our pursuit to find love. However, I do believe that there are few moments where you can witness a Love that doesn't have repercussions: Others can let you down, you may lose yourself, and boats can sink. But, I have to believe that the Love I saw Saturday night is the Love that God intended all of us to have. True Love is adapting to the weather, being completely oblivious but dedicated to the end result, True Love is a porno kiss in a Federal building in front of your grandparents, it's a giant leap of faith into a foreign world. And it's everything God intended us to have.

Happy 3 Day Anniversary Matt and Brooke!!

Cat's Out of the Bag

Well my friends, for better or worse, the cat's out of the bag and May 27th I'll be on my way to Nakhon Pathom, Thailand with Matt Mullen and Brooke Deffenbaugh (I'm never calling her Mrs. Mullen).
I appreciate all of you that have given me so much support with my decision to head to Thailand. When people find out that I'm headed over there two questions usually arise, I will now answer them:

1) I am not starting any type of prostitution ring
2) I am not going to come back with a Thai wife

Now that we have those questions answered feel free to e-mail and comment on this blog with any questions you may have for me. Looking forward to seeing you all May 17th!

Quotes

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
