I’ll make this post a little like a choose your own adventure book.  I have some good news and some bad news I am going to share.  If you would like the good news before the bad, jump to the “Good” section and read it.  Then go back and read the “Bad” section and then finish with “End”.  If you would like the bad news before the good, just read this blog straight through as your normally would.  If you really want to make it really interesting, start with “End” and then read the other two sections in any order.  The choices are yours and yours alone, who’s going first?

I can’t stand the taste of coffee.  If you ever say that to a coffee drinker they always reply with, “It’s an acquired taste.”  My usual response is, “Well it’s one I don’t care to acquire.”  People have often tried to get me to taste stuff by telling me that I would barely be able to taste the coffee in it.  I would always be able to taste it, and it was usually the aftertaste I was left with.  So I just would avoid coffee.  If I needed a caffeine fix, I would just drink soda.

It made perfect sense. I think back on my life and there has never been a time where I went into something feeling very courageous.

There have been a lot of bands releasing new CDs lately.  I thought I would give you guys some insight to the ones that have spent a lot of time in my CD player, well I guess more accurately I should say the ones that have been played on my iPod. Continue reading →

We’ve been talking about vision, purpose, and destiny lately in church, and it’s made me think about why a lot of people, even Christians, don’t do what God wants them to do. We know we’ll be happier, more fulfilled, and more successful when we follow the plans that God has for our lives, so why don’t we do it? I think a big reason is that we don’t know what God has for us.

This semester is going to be interesting.

I’m taking 3D-Design, Film History Since 1940, Logic, and Screenwriting.

I also have been given the amazing opportunity to intern at Trailblazer Studios which does a ton of post-production (editing and the likes).

Why do I tell you this?

Because it’s all about stories! Continue reading →

This past weekend I went to the WinterJam tour.  The band line up seemed pretty good so we got a group together from Charisma Church and went.  The event way exceeded my expectations.   I don’t own any of Skillet’s CDs but they put on an amazing live show so I may have to pick up a couple of them.  Peter Furler was there and played mostly old Newsboys songs.  One of the songs Furler played was I Am Free.  Continue reading →

I have a secret to tell you guys.  You would be amazed how much cleaner your room looks if you just put up your laundry.  I know it seems simple, but it’s so true.  There is a random tidbit for you to take with you and use however you want.  It has nothing to do with this blog, it is like a bonus thrown in at the beginning.

I recently watched a PSA video called “Dear 16-year-old me” about preventing melanoma. I liked the idea of giving advice to your younger self. Although I know that 16-year-old me would never be able to read this, I thought maybe you would enjoy, and maybe benefit from, hearing what I would tell the 16-year-old Erica. Continue reading →
