Ok, ok. so It's been a long time since I updated this thing, partially because of life conflictions, partly because I after I created this blog, I started to second guess if I really had all that much to say. Or if people would really care to hear what I have to say. (I'm sure there's a rendition of Cracker's "Teen Angst", but meant for bloggers)
For those of you that don't know me, I'm a mid twenties college graduate sent out into this world to conquer it. I was raised in a lower middle class blue collar family of German descent; proud of all. I now appreciate the value of a dollar, the ability to cook, and the nutritional value of sauerkraut.

I have met some really great people in my escapades, and I mean to start an archive of those things and people who compel me to step outside my comfort zone.
My friend Anna always does this thing on facebook where she gives thanks for three good things daily. I think I shall do that here, but instead of giving thanks, I'm giving praise to three things that are rad. Here the are:
