The Weekend

This weekend was "Free Museum Day" for all of Pinellas county's residents so I called up some of my friends and took advantage of that opportunity to go to the Holocaust museum downtown. It was well done, informative and with so many images, bits of clothing, utensils, and even one of the train cars used as a transport to the concentration camps it really hit home. I remember looking down at the car from the second floor after having already undertaken a closeup examination of it and thinking about that saying: If walls could talk.

Then we, meaning my friends and I, returned to Eckerd to hang out for awhile and have dinner at the Cafeteria before heading down to Miller Auditorium for an AMAZING showing of the improv group on campus known as Another Mans Trash. It was an great way to wrap up the day and now that I've seen what they have to offer, I'm disappointed that I didn't go sooner; there were many shows last year that I never made the time to go and see. Expect to see me at all of them from here on out haha

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?
