quote of the moment

“But remember, the brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.” -Randy Pausch

baby bro

This is one of my favorite photos from my childhood. It's also one of my favorites of me and my brother. It's amazing how one image brings back so many memories and instantly takes you back. I'm also stunned to think how far we've come from that day. I'm 24 now and my brother is 18. I think this photo was taken in 95, when I was 8 and he was 2. He's grown up to be a wonderful man and I'm already so incredibly proud of him. Can't wait to see what the next 15 years have in store for us!

A Walk On The Dark Side

Got an interesting phone call a few hours ago as I sat here studying. I didn't recognize the number so I was a bit rude initially. It turned out to be my hair stylist, Lee. He asked me to participate in a hair show called "A Walk On The Dark Side" being held tomorrow as part of a local breast cancer awareness project. I said yes immediately, without really thinking. I believe there are certain opportunities in life that only knock once. They might turn out to be good, they might turn out to be horrible. Either way, you've enjoyed yourself or learned something. I don't consider myself even remotely close to qualifying as a model but this is something fun and for a good cause. I'm a bit nervous because I have to style my own outfit. Also, I have to incorporate the color pink into my outfit which will be difficult seeing as I own very little of it. Hair and makeup will be in the hands of the professionals. Oh and I don't know how to walk or pose! Still, I'm super excited. Photos to come!
