By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he’s wrong.

For Haiti

posted 2 weeks ago

Photo by Matt Love

After the earthquake in Haiti almost one week ago, there have been reports of possibly hundreds of thousands of people dead and expecting more to be found.

As someone who doesn’t currently have a job, I figured the best I could do is spread the word. So this post is devoted to photos of the disaster, as your source for the most recent that I find. They won’t be happy golucky, but they will inspire you to do something, whether it’s on Twitter, Facebook, or one of your other favorite sites.

If you’d like to donate to the relief cause in Haiti, I suggest Convoy Of Hope. They’re a great organization that actually has a warehouse in Haiti, enabling them to provide for the Haitian people quickly & effectively.

There will be updates as I get them, so if you find a good set of photos, send them my way!

Thanks! We can help Haiti and keep it in the news for a while if we put our minds to it.

So What's Next?

posted 3 weeks ago

The past few months have been some of the greatest months of my life.
Between working for a great company, meeting new friends, and going on an internship experience that I will never forget, needless to say it’s been pretty good.
But in a life of trying to stay busy, accomplish things, it’s difficult to look long term. As well as looking long term can make you depressed if you don’t have a plan.
Currently to stay busy, I’m trying to read 52 books in a year, as well as listen to 52 music albums. It’s been pretty great.
I would just ask that in this time, you pray for me and my direction. Things are looking up, but it’s hard for me to be patient.
Love you all.

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!

Nothing big. Just 21 years ago, my mother Marcia gave birth to me in Lewes, Delaware. I’m thankful for my time here on the earth, even if it’s temporary. :)

How Will 2010 Be Different To You?

posted 4 weeks ago

Through my life (and I’m sure you have as well), I’ve encountered people who are great people, are probably super content in their lives, and don’t mean anything harsh or condescending when they ask a certain question: “What are you doing with your life?”.

In right context, this is a great question no doubt, what ARE you doing with your life?

During a TED Talk an expert on interviewing people said that the best questions you can ask people, are questions they’ve always wanted to be asked.

So a question I would ask myself, and you in this new year, is HOW are you being in your life? Not what are you doing, but what does life mean to you now!

Tomorrow I turn 21, an age recognized in the United States as an age of almost complete freedom. I would agree.

So far in my life I’ve had loads of fun, done some pretty cool things, and been through a lot rough times, but I’m happy where I am now.

In my 21 years I’ve:
-Been to 3 different countries (Moldova, Austria, Canada). Great times in all!
-Been lucky enough to have worked in some of the world’s top studios with mega-famous/talented producers
-Played many shows with many bands,some opening for big bands, some good, some bad, all fun and in the name of art.
-Devoted my life more and more every day towards God
-Got scholarships to schools
-Lost scholarships
-Loved, lost


Some of these things are my dreams! I’ve been so blessed and lucky!

The list could go on, but it’s not meant to brag, it’s just to recollect that I love life. I’m open, ready. I’ve got a Karen Carr attitude of “Sign Me Up!” when it comes to new opportunities.

Just today one of my pipe-dreams (a dream that would be awesome, but probably may never happen) is to do a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jump with the military, just for fun. It’s be scary, risky, to some completely dumb, but what an amazing experience?

In 2010, I’ve made the choice to walk through the doors God’s opened in my life, turning away from things that aren’t good or of Him. He’s set all of us free, we make the choice to escape.

Im pursuing new opportunities in education, as well as working. I’ll stay updated on here, but I just want to ask you:

How are you being in your life?>/b> And how are you going to make 2010 a different year for your life?

Hope you’re doing awesome. Adam
