Past and Future

So I spent last week fixing my car over at my grandfathers house in Sarasota with a good friend of mine (Lucas). We had to put on two upper control arms and ball joints to keep that thing running sound, but we got it done pretty quickly once we figured out what exactly it was that we needed to do!

Saturday was my grandfathers birthday, so I went back to his place, just myself this time, to stay the day with him and celebrate his birthday, although he is like me and found it to be rather unnecessary to celebrate something as silly as a birthday lol.

Sunday was the Mr. Triton man pageant here at school, where I went to cheer on Lucas in his efforts to  raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation. It was...interesting to see the acts that people created, although many of them involved as little clothing as possible and some crazy antics (Needless to say, I'm waiting for Mrs. Triton to hit the scene next year).

As for my life in the near future, it will consist of lots of writing of papers because finals are next week and many of my classes are requiring a "final paper" that is due this Friday. I have yet to actually start writing them, but I have some good ideas in mind. Hopefully they pan out okay, wish me luck!

About James

I'm a freshman at Eckerd majoring in Political Science, born and raised right here in Florida; originally I hail from Orlando, but when I was 14 we moved to Dade City and that's where I've been until just this year. I've waited for so long to get to college and start down the path toward higher learning and it has finally begun. I'm not very good at grammar or spelling, but I am all about the pursuit of knowledge. Information is such an amazing tool, or perhaps the tool, to allow one to realize their lifelong ambitions.

I have several strong interests, including: Ford Motor Company, politics, investing/personal finance, economics, physics, and sustainable development. For the most part, I don't know a lot of specifics in these fields, but I try to maintain a broad base to build on. My favorite pastime has to be intellectual conversation. Since coming to Eckerd I've learned that conversation can produce unexpected results if you take the time to really listen.

I also love music, all kinds, but a lot of alternative rock and European techno (Korn is probably my favorite rock band and I'm thinking Pendulum is my favorite techno group. Those are tough decisions though, I try to keep away from favorites!). I just like something that makes me feel good and want to be up and grooving haha. So now that you know a bit about me, why not hit up my blog and see what's new?
