Many Hats or One Big Awesome Hat

With the seasonal nature of my job with GoApe! (a treetop adventure course at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis), I have returned to my in-law’s bustling restaurant/catering/venue business to help for the holidays. GoApe! has also asked me to be their go-to for graphic design for the time being as well, which is an amazing…

Why, When I Can Lay On The Couch?

I have somewhat of an addictive personality. When I get into things, I REALLY dive in. For instance, any time I read a Harry Potter book I’ll start throwing spells into normal conversation, rendering the conversation completely abnormal. If I start to read a blogger with whom I identify, I’ll go through just about everything…

Evolution of Design Skills

I used to borrow my church’s digital camera back in high school. It was a Sony Mavica that fit about 10-15 pictures on a 3 1/2 inch floppy disc that went into the side of the camera. This camera changed my life. I would fill up the floppy disc, then copy the pictures onto our…

I Have The Drawing Skills of a 4 Year Old

Second, I’m proud of myself for pushing forward to actually work out. Third, I can’t wait to keep being productive in taking care of myself. PMA! Positive…

My Vacation (Photo Dump!)

(edit) I started writing this post when I got back from vacation, ignore mistakes related to time, thanks! –Trying to relive fond memories never works, the easiest thing to do is just make new memories. I had a plan for my vacation last week. I was going to do some longboarding, jump off some cliffs…

Vacation: Day 1

While at work on Friday afternoon I could not focus on anything I needed to do. Luckily I spent a few hours the day before finishing up some projects that needed to be done before I left for another splediferous vacation to Burlington, VT and Wells, ME. Allison and I drove up to Bremen, IN,…
