Funk… (Day Seven)

No, not the seventies musical genre but the mental and emotional status of fatigue, depression and overall moodiness. Those that know me best know that there are times when my emotional status can change however it feels rather different today. I’m currently experiencing a once in a lifetime trip to Europe and I spent the…

Road Trip #1! (Day Six)

After my long day of recovery, I was raring to go on day six. With plenty of rest, I was up at the crack of dawn and on the bus heading toward Antwerp. We arrived to a very chilly and Windy City with on and off rain, but it didn’t distract from the beauty of…

Ugh…(Day Five)

Ok so this post may be a bit on the short side because I haven’t really been up long enough to complete a full post. Today, I realized why the day after St. Patrick’s Day is the least productive day in the face of the earth. Everybody had a lot to drink last night and…

St. Patrick’s Day! (Day Four)

I’ve never celebrated St. Patrick’s day a day in my life. I’ve always thought that a specific day to drink alcohol was never really smart but I must say, I’m chowing down on a bit of crow right now. My day started like the rest, here in Brussels with dragging myself out of bed and…

Ace of Base and Celine Dion (Day Three)

Sleeping in has to be one of the greatest things in existence. In my post from Wednesday, I mentioned how much jet lag we were all feeling and because we postponed our activities until 10 this morning, we were all able to get some much needed rest. With most of our class in Paris, the…

And Then There Were Nine (Day Two)

As most of my followers know, the majority of the group set off to Paris for the weekend via bullet train earlier this afternoon. Since they didn’t leave until four, my little group had plenty of time to visit NATO in the morning and continue exploring the city before they abandoned m-, I mean left…

Two Words…. (Day One)

…Jet Lag. After an eight and a half hour long flight we finally made it to our destination country of Belgium. Most of the people in our group have never been on that long of a flight so suffice to say, none of us really slept all that well. At the time of this writing…

The Automobile Acquisition Affair

I mentioned in my quick quip from the other night, how busy I have been with my new full time job and attempting to get a Masters degree to boot. While doing all of this can be difficult to manage, it does come with its own little set of perks. I’m not talking about grad…

It Has Been Awhile…

Ok, I know exactly what you all are thinking. “Devin, it’s been SIXTEEN days since you’ve posted anything on your blog!” To that, I am thoroughly sorry. I must admit that my life right now has become increasingly hectic and finding time to simply breathe has been very challenging. So before I hear any comments…

The End of a (Short) Era…

As a man who is in very great control of his life, I have managed to only incur a few harmless obsessions. One could categorize my numerous Apple products to be a little obsession, of course, not in the hipster way. A second one may be my obsessive followership to Cracked.com. However, these obsessions may…
