I keep thinking I should write something about Pope John Paul’s passing, and I’m really at a loss for words. My feelings are somewhat a reflection of my deep ambivalence about my faith these days. On the one hand, I feel very proud of being a Catholic, and I am very passionate about the Pope’s [...]

My apologies to everyone who has been waiting to hear news from me. I have been swamped with stuff ever since the last entry. As many of you know, I am now married to the wonderful and beautiful Jennifer Sara. We’ve been at it for over 6 weeks now (since June 14th), and while living [...]

(yeah) Some call me the gangster of love… I have no idea why I wrote that. It was just kind of running through my head. I don’t think I should go up to Greeley on weeknights anymore. I’ve been a zombie pretty much all day. I went up to watch the Kings-Avalanche game (the Avs [...]

So I’m sitting here, watching the first game of the playoffs for the Avalanche, and they’re tied 4-4 with the Vancouver Canucks. I can’t even believe they’re having this much trouble – it’s insane! Hopefully they’ll pull it together in the next few minutes, here. It’s been a busy couple of weeks, what with choir [...]

Funny how after months of inactivity, I suddenly have so much to write in just two weeks! Life does that, though. My problems with the Mazda were getting on my nerves so badly that I decided to borrow the money for a down payment from my folks and buy a new Volkswagen Jetta about a [...]
