I wrote about my brother Ben, so I thought it was only right to dedicate a blog post to my favorite sister (my middle brother will also be getting a blog post, do not worry) My older sister Katherine was born in Oklahoma City to Osage Indians. For whatever reason (her parents were successful in …

Delt Recon is Decadent and …
Every year, the dazzling gentlemen of Delta Tau Delta embark on their biggest party of the year; Delt Recon Recon is a military (previously Vietnam War) themed party sanctioned by the national Delt chapter with all proceeds going to our local VA.

9-9-9
A true test of the American Dream. A couple of weeks ago, we took on the elusive 9-9-9 challenge. Basically, for every inning of baseball you watch, you must eat a hotdog and drink a beer. The tie-in to the American Dream should be seeping through the screen right now. First of all, the challenge …

This past week, I took an online autism test. Although I know that I don’t have autism, autism is still something that is very relevant to me and something that I know a lot a lot about. My brother was diagnosed with Aspergers (on the autism spectrum) when he was very young. For lack of …
“Couldn’t get much Higher (ode to Colorado)”
I hope everybody appreciated the title of my blog post. It took me a long time to think of, and if anyone happens to listen to Joe Walsh (of Eagles fame), you might understand the reference to his song “Rocky Mountain Way”. This is undoubtedly one of my favorite songs of all time. Beyond the …

Give it up for Lent!
It’s Lent! For those who don’t know, Lent is the 40-day period between Ash Wednesday and Holy Thursday where Catholics are encouraged to pray, fast, and give alms. Because we have just begun Lent, I find it fitting to create a blog post about my Catholic Faith and how it relates to the American Dream. …
