Whats Goin On Lately

So its been a while since I shared any insight on what is actually going on in my life. And seeing as this is a blog, not about science or advice, but about me, I'm don't see why not. The problem is that most of the time I lead a pretty boring life, or so I think anyways. So coming up with an interesting topic is somewhat of a challenge.
First I'd like to talk about Halloween! It is hands down my favorite holiday, and October is my favorite month. Their is some kind of childhood magic I associate with Autumn and more specifically Halloween and October. I have a lot planned this month. I've got a trip to New Hope PA planned. Several birthdays to celebrate. And of course the parties, with a big Halloween party at the end of the month in Philly.
I'll be attending the party as Link from the Legend of Zelda series. A video game legacy that defines my childhood. Seeing as the character means so much to me I spared no expense in the costume. I had the iconic green tunic hand made for me. I got real leather Bracers and boots (though the Bracers came in black instead of brown -_-). I even ordered a real steel replica of the Master Sword and the Hylian Shield. All I need is a wig and for everything to get to my house in time >_<. My friend, the very lovely Andrea (her tumblr), will be going with me dressed as Princess Zelda. I can't put into words my excitement.
I've also been running a lot with Andy; I have mentioned him in previous posts. We are up to 8-10 miles each run. I never thought I would love running as much as I do. I'm getting in great shape and it is really helping my confidence. The past two months I have reached amazing milestones in fitness that, if I were working out by myself, I probably wouldn't have.
There is a lot more going on right now. But I think ill save it for a later post. That way I have more to talk about! I finally got a blogger application on my phone so I can update on the go too!
So for now, keep your head up and smile. Their is always some good to be seen.

Painted

Another poem I wrote. Lately I have been feeling particularly creative. I'm trying to use the time to really make things I can be proud of. Any critiques are very welcome.

Life and love are universal in nature

Completely random and unpredictable

Subatomic particles trek through time and space

Until they meet in an explosion of events

That are your life

Where once was void

A vacuum inside

There is now energy

Exploding in all directions

Though grand in observation,

Completely unattainable

I feel the cosmic radiation

That is your love

You are a twinkle of a star

Painted on the nights sky

Misleading and wonderful you are,

You share a glimpse into a universe unknown to me;

Make me feel near, safe, loved…

When in truth you are bigger

Much bigger then I’ll ever be

And farther

Much farther then I’ll ever go

Still…

Every night I look into your twinkling face

Miniscule in comparison,

I give my heart to your night’s sky

So I too may be part of something larger

Much larger then I

Like my heart

The universe constantly expands,

And my expanding heart will always have room for you

For now though,

My eyelids drift south

And I say unto you

Goodnight my expanding universe

My distant sun

My twinkling star

I’ll see you tomorrow night

Painted in perfection as you always are

Free Radicals

I wrote this for someone and decided to publish it. I'm actually pretty proud of it =]. So here it is, a poem titled Free Radicals.

You are my breath

With each gasp, I take in free radicals

That slowly destroy me

But each one is precious

Loved

Needed

Beyond my biological needs

My breath is refreshing

And cleanses me

It gives me clarity

And patience

It is my breath that calms me

That quells the monster inside

My breath is cherished

Appreciated

Never taken for granted

The very thing that takes toxins into my lungs

Heals me,

Bequeaths me life

It is benevolent in nature

And wicked by necessity

From my first to my last

What gave me life

Sustained it

And took it away

Is you

My love.

An Hour Full of Minutes

Today was pretty full. I got to do two missions (military funerals) and take the girlfriend's car to the mechanic all before lunch. Then I went out with Eric, Kylie, and Tom to see Horrible Bosses (for the second time), and it got better the second time around.

I really recommend it. Afterwards Eric and I grabbed some food at the Toms River Diner.

Eric and I parted ways and I went inside to what I thought would be the sweet embrace of sleep... Or so I thought. Not three minutes after I step foot in my room do I get a text from Kylie saying "Wanna go on an adventure?" Why not, what do I have to lose?... Besides sleep. So I zoom to her house with the promise of action, adventure, food, friends, and some camera know how. We then decide to grab a bite to eat with Andrea. Shenanigans ensue...

 Ohai (Kylie took this Her Blog)

Kylie as well

 Sploded face

this one too i think...

All in all it was a nice day. Time to take le nap.

Job?!

So tomorrow (really it's today, but I haven't gone to bed yet. So....) I will be attending an orientation with the Maryland State Police. If all goes well, I'll be called back to take a Physical Training Test and a Written Test. Hopefully I'll pass and the next step will be the academy. It's about time law enforcement starts hiring. I've been wanting to get involved in law enforcement for a while now. I've decided I want to do some type of police work, federal or not, and if that doesn't work I'll be a science teacher. Being in the military SHOULD put me above most of the other people applying, but I can't rely on that alone. Anyways, wish me luck!
