Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary. Cecil Barton

Creativity has been a theme for me in 2008 which has led to this quote becoming a favorite. I'm not sure who Cecil Barton is, but He already has my admiration.

I'm on the cusp of finally achieving a life long dream. I'm about to finish my degree. I know, millions of people do it every year, and most at a much younger age, but considering two years ago I had reconciled myself with the prospect that it would never happen, I tend to resist attempts at bursting my bubble. It's a big deal, and I'm really excited to be graduating.

We would meet at a Barnes and Noble, or Borders, and take 30 minutes to find 5 books to help describe ourselves to the other. It's a fun exercise, and a chance to be creative.

I've recently made a reconnection with an old friend, and believe it may lead to something. That being said I'm not really looking for anything, but am choosing to remain active on the site for forums and friends.
