Reflections

Oftentimes, I find myself at a point where I can take a chance to reflect on where I am in my life and how I got there. Strangely, I arrived at that point a couple weeks ago and I still feel like I am there. I feel pretty good with my identity and I just feel like there are a few things that need to be refined before I’m entirely satisfied. However, as always, certain things happen that cause a shift in my thinking and I have found myself still staying up late and thinking at night.

One event in particular was the fact that one of my brothers was in a car accident this week. He was the passenger and his friend’s car ended up flipping one and a half times while they were driving home from golfing. Luckily, neither of them was hurt, aside from feeling extremely sore the next day. Thank God he’s the only one of my brothers that I never had to yell at for not wearing his seatbelt in my car. When I found out, I immediately wished that I was home. I just can’t imagine if things had been worse and I were stuck here in California. However, things were fine and I just continued worrying all day, reflecting on everything and trying to remember that things like this happen, and will continue happening. There’s no stopping it, so I realized that you just need to accept it and move on.

In other news, I’m just about done wrapping up my first major project at InterKnowlogy. It went extremely well, and I’m very excited to share the details of the project as soon as it’s ok for me to do so. This was my first chance to make an impression, and I really hope that I have shown them what I am capable of.

I will also be visiting Utah this week from Thursday til Saturday to represent InterKnowlogy at Neumont’s quarterly Career Week event. I will be presenting during lunch, covering the more technical details about IK and probably showing off some demos of the projects we’ve done. I’m really excited about spending a few days back up in Utah and seeing friends. I can’t wait to BBQ!

Finally, I’d just like to say that I love Grand Theft Auto 4. That is all.
