"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin -- real life.
But there was always something to be gotten through first,
some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid.
At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.
This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness.
Happiness is the way.
So treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination..."

I've finally graduated from UW-Madison, with a political science and history degree. What this means is I'm searching for a real job, where ever that may take me. I'm still writing for the Daily Cardinal to tone my skills. I play with swords and write genre fiction. I travel when possible, but so far that's been concentrated in Europe. I don't have much to say about myself right now: look below. I've finished some, time will take care of the others.
