Where Have I Been?

2011-04-11T23:22:00.005-04:00

It's been almost a full year since i've published. What's going on with my life? I must say that a lot has changed in the past year. I've moved, begun a new job, and experienced a fair amount of cool things. I need to blog more often...Life is happening...and it won't stop...

Windy Gap

2010-04-12T10:15:00.003-04:00

I just recently got the chance to hang out at Windy Gap for family weekend. Windy Gap is a Young Life property just outside Asheville in the mountains of North Carolina. It was an awesome experience. I spent the weekend with High School and College students serving families in efforts for them to experience an weekend getting to know Jesus. I've been a server in a restaurant before. It is a stressful job. There was the same, if not more, physical amount of strain on my body as was during those 5 years of serving. Although the stress was the same physically, this was a completely different experience. I've become a fan of Young Life and the way that they do things for life.

Buried Life Continued

2010-04-09T19:03:00.000-04:00

I'm currently on a road trip to the mountains of NC. The scenery is beautiful and the ride is perfect. I absolutely love the mountains and would love to go as often as I possibly can. It seems that quite frequently while I'm on these trips or quiet times on the road I get an awesome chance to reflect and think. Often times my thinking heads towards things to come. I'm going to continue my bucket list as I've had quite a bit of time to think about this since the last post.
16. Own an old truck from the 70's.
17. Take pictures of people near a white picket fence with the sun rising or setting.
18. Go deep sea fishing
19. Buy my mother a car
20. Plant a tree
21. Do a stand up comedy routine (and be funny)
22. See the sunrise and set from the top of a mountain.
23. Drive coast to coast
24. Go to a movie by myself
25. Ask a random girl out on a date
26. Change my own oil
27. Own a jeep wrangler
28. Make a movie (seriously... Why not?!)
29. Guest or co-host a radio show
30. Have a nice watch collection

The Boss

2010-04-07T21:32:00.001-04:00

I was at church tonight and I was talking to my little buddy Abigail. She showed me her shirt. I said, "you're the boss?" To which she replied "yes." I said, "if you're the boss, I need a raise." She looked at me with a duh kind of face. "I don't HAVE any raisins."
Cute kid.

The Buried Life

2010-03-19T14:52:00.003-04:00

I've been watching the mtv show The Buried Life recently. It is probably one of the most inspiring things I've seen on tv in quite a while. It's the story of a group of young men who are crossing off things on their bucket list. The cool thing about the show is the way they are not just selfishly accomplishing their own things. Each episode, they try their hardest to help someone else accomplish something off of their own bucket list. It is awesome to see young, passionate, people accomplishing their dreams of helping others accomplish dreams.

I'm going to start compiling a list of 100 things to do before I die now. Anybody else who wants in on this is certainly welcome.

1. Have a family
2. See Europe
3. Run a half-marathon
4. Dunk a basketball at 35
5. Buy a random family's meal at a restaurant.
6. Meet John Mayer
7. Create and publish a coffee table photo book (ideas already pending)
8. Own a business
9. Live on the water
10. Write enough music to have an album
11. Send kids to college
12. Win a championship in some kind of basketball league (as a player and coach)
13. Go to an MLB baseball game on the 4th of July
14. See all 50 states
15. Become a great photographer

more to come...

new

2010-03-12T11:07:00.002-05:00

I want some kind of new adventure. I need a new adventure. It seems like the last one lost its flare. I'm going to find my new adventure soon.

inspired

2010-03-04T14:50:00.002-05:00

I want to be inspired... I want to inspire... I have vision to create imaginatively... I want to create... I want to see the world in a different light...

A friend of mine tweeted this quote of a song lyric today and it stirred me up a little bit...
"There's too many things I haven't done yet. Too many sunsets that I haven't seen."

Thats good {inspiring} stuff.

Just a Warm Thought

2010-01-27T11:10:00.005-05:00

I miss the consistently warm weather. I could definitely go for a little bit of sunshine and time spent on my front porch just watching cars go by and taking in the warmth. We got a little glimpse of it this week but it was very short lived. Spring can not arrive soon enough.

Brokeberry

2010-01-21T10:04:00.003-05:00

We are definitely living in a world and time where everything is instant and easily accessed through a lot of different technological mediums. It truly is amazing how attached to this technology we become. I am a complete addict. I bought a blackberry in September of 2008 and I haven't been the same since. (there were times when the pads on my thumbs were literally misshapen because of my addiction to texting and blackberry messaging) I am so reliant on my phone. Blackberry messaging, facebook, twitter, twitterberry, ubertwitter, email, texting (and sometimes even blogging) are my daily drugs of choice. Recently I suffered a loss of phone usage. My blackberry broke. One would imagine that I am going crazy without it. While I do miss the phone, I am not at all upset about the fact that when I hear a vibration, it's not mine. I am not at all upset about the fact that if anybody wants to get in touch with me, they have to leave me a message and I will just have to get back to them at "my earliest convenience". Its incredibly freeing. I am thinking that when I get a new phone, I will take the time to turn it off and really engage in the world around me. These are the confessions of an addict.

Happy New Year

2010-01-10T18:26:00.002-05:00

Ok... I know. It is a little bit later than it was supposed to be but it is better late than never. 2010 is here. (where are the flying cars?) I was talking with my roommate recently and we came to the conclusion that this life we lead, though filled with challenges, is amazing. Take some time to really think about the positives in your life and where its heading. If you don't like where its heading, change the course. It really is a good life. I think that for this year (and the rest of life for that matter) I will focus on appreciating and creating my own good life. There's no reason not to. Much love to everybody.

Dads and Sons

2009-11-20T16:11:00.002-05:00

I'm in the barbershop right now. (I'm still single, ladies. Gotta stay fly.) There's nothing like going to the barbershop. For many, barbershops are a place where laughs, good conversation, and a general sense of community exist. For some, it has been a place where Dads of all types become fathers to those without a father or without a father accessible on an everyday basis. It feels good to me to have a good relationship with my barber. We don't really talk much but there's a definite bond there. He gives me a hug and an "I love you, Man" every time I come in. Its a comfort and a home-like feeling for me.
Today in the shop, there's a nice young father seated across from me. He's got his two sons in here. After one of the sons got down out of the chair and seated himself next to his father, the father reached out his big hand and checked out the haircut. He smiled with pride and said, "yeah" as he rubbed his sons head in a manly way. It reminded me of my dad. He is notorious for grabbing me like that and giving me a rub and push of approval. I am thankful for him and the man that he has been for me. The positive memories definitely hold more weight than the negative and I'd have it no other way. Embrace your father today. Whether its a physical embrace or a mental embracing of who he is. Be thankful for the father figures in life and Love them. Have an awesome one.

I figured I'd put up an old picture. This is from the summer in Greensboro. I was heading to Raleigh to hang out with family and the sun was setting. I looked over to my right towards downtown and had to stop for a picture. The rainbow was nice and I figured it would be a nice shot. I hope to add more pictures quite often. I have been seriously inspired to make sure I exercise my creativity much more through photography. Be on the lookout!

Wedding Celebration!!

2009-11-09T10:51:00.002-05:00

On Saturday, November 7, 2009, my sister became a married woman. This is a big step in the life of our family. I am excited to have a new brother and excited to be heading into a new chapter of family life. My sister is a great person. She has shared a whole life with me. Ups and downs, smiles, arguments, inside jokes, and special connections will never be lost between us, no matter where she is or what she is doing. I truly treasure that fact. I am excited that she now gets to share a whole life with someone else. Mike is an awesome guy. There is no doubt in my mind how much he loves my sister. For that, I am extremely thankful.
I learned a few things over the weekend:
1. My family means the world to me.
It's really an interesting thing. I have never realized how much I appreciate them. I got the chance to hang out with my Dad for the first time in almost 2 years. It was the first time of any length in more time than that... We shared meals, jokes, hugs, and most importantly, life together even if only for a couple of days.
2. My cousins and aunts are amazing.
Although we are a mix of different personalities, we share the same love for one another. It is truly awesome to just be in the same house with them.
3. My (sister's) friends are great.
They've been with her for a long time and they've also been true to her for a long time. I appreciate that quality.
4. Life is amazing!!!
Each step we take in life, every stage, every trial, every good day, every bad day, every smile, everything, leads us into becoming the best people that we can be. Our lives are amazing, whether we realize it or not, and we are only getting better at living them.

I am so full of love right now!
Life is great!

Life

2009-10-28T11:05:00.004-04:00

Life is still 100% good. It's pretty funny. I seem to get excited about life more and more no matter whats been going on my life. This does not mean stresses have completely disappeared from view, nor does it mean that I've reached the highest potential point of life. It does mean, however, that I am seeing things with a completely optimistic view and recognizing that there is something to learn and something positive to move towards with every turn of the road. I will not give up this "life abundant" regardless of circumstance or situation. I will see a bright future.

Fish Taco? Really?!!!

2009-10-19T11:03:00.002-04:00

I spent much of Saturday relaxing at home. After talking with a friend, I decided to take a road trip with him down to Charlotte for some relaxation in a different area code. Charlotte is always a nice get away. I rode down to Davidson with my buddy Joe to catch a soccer game and then hang out in Charlotte with friends. After sitting through a pretty cold half of the game we went to catch up with some friends right outside of downtown Charlotte. Dave just got engaged recently and purchased a house. It was nice to see people you've been through college and life with growing up and becoming "adults". We then went to a place called Cabo Fish Taco. I was thinking the same thing that you are most likely. "Why would someone eat a taco with fish in it?" After having had one, I can't see why I WOULDN'T want a fish taco. Fried Cod, mixed cheese, cabbage, chips, salsa, black beans and rice. This meal hit the spot. Combine it with a $2 bottle of Longboard, and the good company of friends, and one will definitely enjoy himself quite nicely. The restaurant is small yet comfortable. Located in the NODA district in Charlotte, the restaurant had quite the bohemian feel that would welcome anybody. I will definitely go back for another visit as soon as I can.

2009-10-02T11:21:00.000-04:00

I found this picture on my computer when going through old photos. I am completely in love with the sunrise and sunset. I think it is the most beautiful thing that exists. This is a Sunrise from Chase City, VA. Beautiful!! Enjoy your day and appreciate the color in the earth.

Live Simply

2009-09-22T09:50:00.003-04:00

I was checking out a picture on a friend's blog. It had a bunch of cool sayings on it but the one that caught my attention the most was "Live Simply". It comes in handy right now especially since I just moved. It took me 3 days to move my "stuff" out. I have accumulated so much junk over the years and it appears that I haven't thrown anything away or gotten rid of anything. I've made a pact with myself to "Live Simply" in all areas. If it's not simple, I'm not dealing with it. No facet of my life will be cluttered with junk again.
This live simply is not just a material thing but operates on a spiritual plane as well. I must live simply as I am called to live, if I am to live at all. Life is great!!!!!

City of Black and White

2009-09-04T11:42:00.008-04:00

I used to go to shows all the time. It was a big part of my social life. A few friends would meet up and we'd catch a good show. In recent times, life has been different and I've been unable to make it to shows as much. I got to see one of the shows on my bucket list of concerts to attend.

Mat Kearney!!!! Some may not know who he is. He's been a hero of mine for the past 5 years. When I heard his first album, Bullet, I was instantly hooked. He is incredibly different than anyone else that I've been exposed to. On top of that, his message is so positive but doesn't come close to crossing the lines of reality. He is definitely an artist to watch for.

Needless to say, when the opportunity to hear him came about, I jumped at it. I almost went by myself but enlisted the company of some old friends. The show was amazing. It surpassed my expectations. After the show, I got the chance to meet Mat. He was incredibly nice and just as genuine as I'd expected he'd be. We even were approached by a homeless man in the middle of our breif conversation. He gracefully sent the man on his way. This was one of the best experiences of the summer of 2009.

Welcome back

2009-09-02T14:07:00.002-04:00

So...the summertime resulted in somewhat of an unintentional hiatus from blogging. My apologies... It was a great summer. I spent a lot of time doing a good amount of fun stuff. It was quite ironic. It seemed like I would've been so ready to be away from kids when I actually couldn't figure out life without them. I spent more time with young people this summer than I do during the school year. I was given an opportunity to work at the YMCA with the summer camp program. It was a great time that tired me out quite a bit. The one thing that did keep me going was the genuine appreciation of the 5-8 year old campers. It was like a chorus of kids treating you like a celebrity on the red carpet everytime you entered the gym. So many high fives to give out but so little time. Amazing love was given by these kids. It made a long, hot, day a lot easier to deal with when a kid missing his two front teeth looks up at you with bright eyes and says, "Hi Mr. Korey" and dishes out a hug. The world is always better with pure forms of love abounding.

Fathers' Day

2009-06-23T01:01:00.003-04:00

To Someone:
My life is good. Most recently, I got the chance to experience fathers' day. Its an interesting day for me in all honesty. I haven't spent a fathers day with my father in 18 years or more. I did get a chance to spend time with some amazing men and friends whom I consider amazing fathers and role models to me. . This is not meant to be a sad post. So please do not take it that way. I've been blessed to be around several men who have been fathers to me over these past 18 years. It is amazing to me to be able to see the love, sacrifice, and dedication it takes to truly be an awesome dad.Here's to the day where Fathers' day becomes a reality for me and I've got my own kids. I truly cherish the opportunity and responsibility that comes with this honor.
My dad is a pretty good guy. He didn't have much training in the father area as he was the child of a single parent home. He loved his mother until her last day. There was no doubt about that. There were some years where we didn't see eye to eye and I'm sure that there will be more to come. However, this is not meant to focus on the negatives. I'd prefer to celebrate the man who donated his good looks and smile to me. The one who I remind my mother of so much. The one who gave me a competitive streak that goes hand in hand with my stubborn streak. The one who called me little buddy. The one who taught me how to ride my bike. The one who Tyra beaned right in between the eyes with a snowball when we were little. The one who used to make the best sausage biscuit breakfasts on a Saturday morning for us to take outside in our back yard and eat together. The one who I picture when I think of a Cadillac Coupe De Ville. The one who taught me to swing a bat. The one who will walk my sister down the aisle. The one who I love. The one who I call Daddy, Dad, Old Man, Fatso, and all the other things. I love you man and I appreciate what you have done for me.

Big Announcement

2009-06-23T00:27:00.005-04:00

I changed the title of the blog after an inspiring texting conversation with a friend. All too often people lose the ability to communicate whats lost in the space between our lives. The new title is an homage of sorts to the people who inspire me enough to keep writing. They are the "someones" to whom I refer. Enjoy!

2009-06-20T01:29:00.000-04:00

i've been tagged by Live the Life You Love! "The HonestScrap award comes with a caveat or two. Firstly, you have to tell your readers ten things about you they may not know, but that are true. Secondly, you have to tag 10 people with the award. Thirdly, let all the people you've given the award to know that they've gotten it (comment on their blogs or something). And finally, make sure you link back to the person who awarded you."

So...I am really not into forwards. There is a forward of sorts running around on the blogosphere, if you will. As stated before, I am really not into them but I will do this one because it is fun.

1. I am 6'1" and sometimes 6'2", but whenever anybody asks I will tell them that I am 6'2" or 6'3". I have no idea why. The doctors said I would be 6'6" but they were full of something or really ambitious.

2. I love acoustic guitar music. LOVE IT! I don't listen to rap music really at all because I think it sucks now. So for me, something acoustic or different than rap and r&b is where its at.

3. I am probably the messiest person I've ever met and I need SERIOUS help. Its to the point where I've considered hiring a professional to get me straightened out. Not good.

4. When I was younger, I was afraid of the dark. My fear just went away one random day.

5. I still have the dresser that I had when i was 6 years old in my current bedroom.

6. I wish I could do something creative for a living and succeed at it.

7. Driving with the windows down on a summer night is a thrill and I (at 1:37 am on a Friday night/Saturday morning) am contemplating making the thrill happen on a trip to cookout.

8. I sing a lot and I try to improve my singing voice although I think its not working very well.

9. I am addicted to my phone but I love the opportunity to not use it.

10. I am in the process of making a bucket list of things I have to do (it will be posted soon) before I leave this earth.

11. I wonder sometimes if blogging is a feminine activity. Not very many of my friends that are males are doing it. Nor am I seeing other males that I don't know involved in it. Its an interesting phenomenon.

Big Announcement

2009-06-09T12:13:00.000-04:00

While I'm not really asking for suggestions, I just want to throw out that I really don't like the title of this blog. Its simple but too complex and insightful. Maybe thats just how I see it. So with that being said, I will be changing the title. Its not that big of an announcement since only about 15 people read my blog.

New Music

2009-06-09T10:10:00.000-04:00

I bought this CD at the same time that I purchased the Mat Kearney CD. I heard the single in Best Buy and figured I'd take a listen. It was music to my ears, literally. Parachute, formerly known as Sparky's Flaw, is an incredible band. I have been waiting for a little while for something new to come out. Something different is just what the doctor has been ordering. Their sound is not quite like any one in particular. Most bands and people sound like another band as a whole. I've heard a lot of different influences in their music. Its refreshing to hear. Their most popular song is entitled "She is Love". It is an incredible soft acoustic song with an updated bonus full band version on the CD. Check it out for a fresh sound with remnants and influences from many different artists.

New Music

2009-06-04T10:59:00.000-04:00

Mat Kearney - City of Black and White This guy is a hero of mine. Mat Kearney has come out with another album and its great! His previous albums included a lot more spoken word and hip hop. On this album, Mat has cut out the rapping allowing room for him to express himself through song. He tells stories of the road, love, and faith. Its a known fact that Mat is a believer yet the message he puts out through his music never throws anything down a listener's throat. Rather, he presents a true perspective on life as it occurs to all of us; believer or nonbeliever. Bottom line of it all is that it works and the long awaited album is a treat to my ears.

Downtown Greensboro

2009-06-02T14:54:00.000-04:00

I missed out on blogging the last two weeks so I'm making up for it today. I took the camera out shooting last week for a few moments. It was a quiet afternoon. I chose to walk around downtown Greensboro and get to know my city a little bit better. I found a few cool new views and possibly some places to look at later on. After taking a few photos I met some friends at McCoul's for a little bit of time. It was a good afternoon and night.

A Perfect Monday Night in the City

2009-06-02T14:37:00.001-04:00

Last night I got the chance to hang out with some of the guys. We went to Natty Greene's for dinner and drinks. The evening was great! The weather: perfect. The food: excellent. The beer: just as excellent as the food (tried a new beer- Natty Greene's Wildflower Witbier. Pretty good taste. Drop in an orange slice and you're doing business.) The company: the best.

It was an interesting night based on the fact that I got the chance to sit and eat with guys who all range in ages from 27 to late 40's. All of these guys are married, one of which beginning his life with his wife on this Saturday. While I'm in no rush at all, its my biggest dream to be a family man and husband to a beautiful wife. Needless to say, these guys are amazing. Being able to share a dinner on a perfect night in Greensboro with them and just hang in the atmosphere they created was just as amazing as they are. I could get used to that (when my time comes). Much love, respect, and appreciation to the guys that I call friends.

Catching Up

2009-06-02T10:29:00.001-04:00

Its been a little bit of time since I last blogged. I try to make time for it but I guess I let things get in the way. In the past two weeks, I've been incredibly busy. I've experienced a few cool things. I got to get down to Atlantic Beach, NC. Its the first time I'd been able to get a vacation in a long while. One morning I got up and took the chance to catch the sunrise off of the pier. I firmly believe that the sun and water are two of the most beautiful things, especially when combined. Here are a couple of pictures. Enjoy!

Tuesday

2009-05-20T10:21:00.000-04:00

Tuesday was another great day in the city of Greensboro. The morning started off pretty cold as i got into my car at 5:50 am. 39 degrees is way too cold for us to be in mid to late May. I hadn't slept much the night before. There was a lot on my mind and Tuesday always starts earlier than other days. The weather eventually warmed up to something incredible. You've got to love the Sunshine.
I got the cahnce to spend some time alone today. It was quite enjoyable. I went to a couple of parks around the area and took some photos. It was a good time to experience life alone for a few moments. I got a few sweet shots at Guilford Courthouse Battleground Park and Bur-Mil park.

Stop This Train

2009-05-18T10:54:00.000-04:00

Today is an absolute beautiful day. The sun is shining and the birds are chirping. The weather is brisk. It is a great day to be alive!

Recently my mom had surgery to remove a threat of Ovarian cancer. It was and is a really sobering experience to think about and go through. She went in to get a full historectomy on May 8th. Everything went well and she ended up going home a day earlier than expected. Thankfully, there is no threat of Ovarian Cancer anymore.

Its a funny thing when someone important and almost invincible in your head goes through a situation like this. Mainly, its because they've always been there for you when you're going through things. When the tables turn, it puts life in perspective.

There are a few things that were shown to me through this experience and a song to help with the thinking too. I'm a big John Mayer fan and even moreso after the full understanding of this song. "Stop This Train" is a story of a young man getting older and experiencing life through loss or potential loss.

"So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young.
So I play the numbers game
to find a way to say
that life has just begun.
Had a talk with my old man.
Said help me understand.
He said turn 68
You'll renegociate.
Don't stop this train.
Don't for a minute change the place you're in.
Don't think I couldn't ever understand.
I tried my hand.
John, Honestly, we'll never stop this train."

An Experiment in Creativity

2009-05-18T02:51:00.000-04:00

So I’ve been wanting to get really creative lately. I guess a better term would be express my creativity. I’ve been into music, art, photography, drama, and writing before. So its fun to finally be at a point where I’m consistently willing and desiring to express my creativity and the thoughts and visions inside of my head. With that being said, its time to unleash the beast. I was reading a friend’s blog and his recommendations were to write often and write until someone notices you without making that your goal. Write to someone in particular and write to no one in particular. Just write…so now you see the fruit of “just write”.
I look back at the title and I see “experiment”. I’d venture to say that this is no experiment. I guess the more appropriate title would be an expression of creativity. Keep watching. There’s more to come.

28

2009-03-23T11:16:00.000-04:00

Happy Birthday to me!!!
I haven't been big on birthday's for quite a while now. Probably the last 5 years. I could say that I don't like attention but I love it. It is honestly because I've compared myself to a lot of other people. At the age of 28 my parents had already had two kids and their lives together had begun, complete with careers and a place to live. I have plenty of friends, younger than myself, who are on the way to this same feat. Again, in all honesty, I'd always pictured my life shaping up similarly to that. This is definitely not the case. And as I've gained years I've realized that their life is not mine. This is a good thing.

In my life I have seen much and its been pretty enjoyable. I've met tons of amazing people. Lived in and visited great places in and out of the states. Most importantly I've been able to live life with INCREDIBLE people. I've learned to play guitar. I've been able to spend a good portion of my working career hanging with some pretty chill students with needs of all types.

All this to say, my life is amazing. I am so thankful for 28. The joys and sorrows. The strengths and weaknesses. The successes and failures. I thank God for it.

The highlight of the day thus far. 3rd pd US History sang Happy Birthday to me.

A Beautiful Mess

2009-02-26T12:03:00.000-05:00

If you were to ask me about my organizational skills, I would say that they are sub-par to say the least. This is definitely a true statement. I have been unorganized for years and I have never been able to turn over the new leaf or organization. I usually have no trouble finding things I need in my unorganization. This may or may not be a result of the fact that everything I use frequently is in sight on the floor of my room.

This MUST END!!! I am not really one of those people who plans on sharing every facet of my life with everyperson that I meet but I do want to share this part of my life with others. Throughout the life of this blog, I'd like to be able to share some goals and the progress of those goals.

Goal #1: Organization

Included in this blog are pictures of my current state of organization. Optimistically, I'd like to be able to show progress on this daunting task ahead.

The Best of What's Around

2009-02-16T22:12:00.000-05:00

I have nothing right now to say of incredible importance...maybe a thought to ponder. I am just excited about life. Its an amazing thing. Through chatting with a friend the other day, I realize that I've been blessed beyond measure through having amazing people in my life. It is such a great feeling to have a support system of family and friends who truly understand what Love is.
Its short. But worth the time to think about it.

"Hey my friend

It seems your eyes are troubled

Care to share your times with me

Would you say you're feeling low and so

A good idea would be to get it off your mind

See, you and me

Have a better time than most can dream

Have it better than the best

And so can pull on through

Whatever tears at us

Whatever holds us down

And if nothing can be done

We'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but who you're with

That really matters

And hurts not much when you're around

If you hold on tight

To what you think is your thing

You may find you're missing all the rest

She run up into the light surprised

Her arms are open Her mind's eye is

Seeing things from a

Clearer side than most can dream

On a better road I feel

So you could say she's safe

Whatever tears at her

Whatever holds her down

And if nothing can be done

She'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but what you think

That really matters

And hurts not much when you're around"
