weekend update: rumney, new hampshire

-
j and i got a chance to get away to the white mountains of new hampshire this weekend for our first outdoor climbing trip of the season!  we couldn't have asked for a better weekend for it.  the weather was perfect and there was just the right amount of crowds where we met some new people but weren't waiting in line for the next climb.  it feel so good to spend so much time in the sunshine.  i'm already excited for our next trip!  i was able to take a few snaps in-between climbs and through the course of the weekend.  hopefully, we'll be able to make the trip back sometime soon!

  i've got a blog. i had one of these in highschool. i lied. i had one even when i was in college, too. however, this time i've made one because it's easier than just writing. not to mention, i think i might actually use this more. its just easier really. besides, i'm about to leave a place i've known as home for 5 years, i have to have something to show for it. i'm convinced that the male and female species were not actually meant to compliment one another so much as complicate one another's lives. all my life, i've been told that you're supposed to be looking for someone that compliments you. Not in the way where some guy is constantly flattering you, but in a salt and pepper, banana and peanut butter kind of way. however, i don't know where it happened, but i always believed that complimentary things, such as red and green on the color spectrum wheel, while were completely different, always shared some sort of middle ground; i.e. they were dir

My Attempts at Adulthood

PUNC-TU-AL... wait, how does this work? After the first step, every other tip or tid-bit of information I've gathered since trying to make this big transformation has pretty much all muddled together. No one individual observation (rant) is really going to make all that much different on it's own. It's like a Monet painting, looking at it from far away, it's OK, but up close, it's a big old mess. (yes, I stole that from Clueless. And no, that's not very adult-ly admitting that.) So by-and-by, I give you the importance of timeliness and punctuality. This in it self was a weird concept for me in college. Not because I couldn't take care of myself and show up to things on time, I just didn't acknowledge some of the facts that I knew to be true. I'm not talking deep or profound facts. I'm talking like, logistically, there is no way that you can feasibly could get from one side of the campus to the next and still watch the end of this

Step 1 is Always Acknowledgment

-
I've learned that the first step of actually becoming an adult is actually admitting that it's inevitably happening. I'm not saying giving up on the that "kid at heart" type mentality of getting excited for the small things and believing in the impossible. While that is what Peter Pan, Hook, Wendy-Lady and Tink will lead you to believe, it's really just acknowledging that their are steps and benchmarks that you'll inevitably come across, or in my case stumble upon, that will do nothing but catapult you into the next stage of your life. How you decide to respond to them is what separates the floundering semi-professionals that still get too drunk at happy hour and talk too loudly about their boss's assistant and those that find themselves enjoying the ever changing twenty-somethings and commemorate them as a success. Prepared or not, it's coming and there's not a whole lot you can do to avoid it . So I've decided to embrace it. As a
