The most simple stroll down the block can turn into a journey of discovery and amazement. This place is perfect for people watching and casual observation (a couple of things I truly enjoy) as well...just some more reasons why I'm fascinated by this city.

DC roadtrip

Some of the guys in our Hi-Riser group took a quick trip to the nation's capital last weekend. It was pretty cool to see some of the monuments and memorials that I have always read about or seen on TV; stuff like the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, the Declaration of Independence, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, so on and so forth. The two things we did that had alot of resonance with me was seeing all the names on the Vietnam wall and visiting the Holocaust Museum: My life here in the States is a result of all the people who sacrificed their lives during that war; those men and women fought not only for this country but for people like me whom they never knew...thats just incredible to think about. As far as the Holocaust Museum is concerned, you don't visit it as much as you experience it...I mean I've read about the Holocaust, studied it in school, seen "Schindler's List" and others documentaries but this is something else entirely...the museum combines all these elements together in a very impactful and solemn manner.
And of course, being how this was a roadtrip with a bunch of guys, it had its fair share of toilet humor, girl-bashing, and jokes which all adds up to an incredibly fun time. Thanks Andrew.

hilarious

sports update

Cover 2? 3-step drop? Play action fake? That's right folks, football is in the air starting with the Eagles' scrimmage game tonight...I can't wait until the season begins. Watching Reggie Bush play is gonna be sweet!
Also, Tiger won his second tourney in a row to become the youngest player ever to reach 50 tournament wins.
And last but not least, the Yankees are in first place(2 games up on the Red Sucks) with the second best record in baseball. Yessir!

"I play for keeps!"

Two things that will blow your mind: 1)Will Ferrell as Ricky Bobby and 2) Travis Pastrana nailing the frickin double backflip in MotoX Best Trick!

Happy Birthday Laurie!
