Girls Must Wear Mood Rings
DNA of Dog Poop
Yes – yes – Yes – it’s true. . . Dog Poop does contain DNA (well duh) – but, it is more profound than this.
You see, the other day before the Manogue speech I whipped out a newspaper and decided to highlight all of the negative articles in red, neutral in yellow, and good news [...]
My Life List
I always like to ask random questions. . .as some of you may know. Things like – “If you had a one way ticket to anywhere . . . where would you go?” – Well, someone asked me “what are some of the craziest things you want to accomplish in your life” . . . [...]
LA Billboard – Be Motivated
“You have to find something that you love enough to be able to take risks, jump over the hurdles and break through the brick walls that are always going to be placed in front of you. If you don’t have that kind of feeling for what it is you’re doing, you’ll stop at the first [...]

I have always been [...]
I Changed A Life
For those of you who don’t know, I run a group home for troubled youth. We have 6 kids spanning from Michigan to Mexicali (southern california). Most of them have lived lives of drugs, alcohol, and massive gang activity. We have bloods, crips, Norteno, and Soreno’s – just to name the top ones.
Within the last [...]
Kenya: Final Words
Amazingly enough we made it home. We landed in Brussels Belgium, and shocking – no they did not have Belgium waffles at the airport!
Our team had a six hour layover in a European country. WE HAD WORKING TOILETS! It was the launching pad for our first smack in the face of culture shock. I spent [...]
Kenya: Damn Rhino
Welcome To Africa, the land of smiling children, music, dance, and rhino’s sitting in the middle of the road.
Today Kelly, Neda, and myself stepped outside of the orphanage and into a smelly cab to take a trip through the reserve. As we took a glance outside our windows we saw giraffe’s, monkeys, wild hogs, water [...]
