A Short Speech for these Troubled Times

My fellow Americans, The hour is late, and I, a young man in these United States, am saddened by the state of affairs through which we citizens are subjected to on what seems to be an increasingly recurrent basis.  Every day we rise to a nation bombarded by the next school shooting; the next supremacist … Continue reading A Short Speech for these Troubled Times →

Cam’s 2018 NFL Mock Draft

Welcome to the Show Hello everyone and welcome to my 2018 NFL mock draft.  This is an exciting time for me, seeing as I graduate from university quite soon, and everything seems to be moving a mile a minute.  That seems to also be the case for the League as well, seeing the vast churning … Continue reading Cam’s 2018 NFL Mock Draft →

All We Have To Decide

It was October, 2016. I sat in my kitchen, home for the weekend or for October break or some reason or another; in any event I was home, and much as I had before I was contemplating my future.  After all it wasn't too long ago that I was sitting at the same exact table … Continue reading All We Have To Decide →

Farewell, Edinburgh

Since I have a bit of time – roughly seven hours to be exact – I felt it a good opportunity to start work on this, the penultimate blog. There really isn’t much more to say as far as adventures go.  For all intents and purposes my time for new experiences came to a close … Continue reading Farewell, Edinburgh →

The Last Hurrah

It's been a busy week. Since my finals were over with almost three weeks before I go home it provided me with the perfect opportunity to get a last few country stamps on my passport.  One last hurrah so to speak.  The concept was simple, though daunting on paper: 5 days, 5 flights, three countries … Continue reading The Last Hurrah →

Finding the Family Name

Hey y'all, I have very little time to get this blog out so that there is one this week, but I committed to posting once a week unless I absolutely couldn't, so this one may and probably will be a little bit shorter.  The reason being is that tomorrow (5/12) I have to get up … Continue reading Finding the Family Name →

Like A King

Well... now that was a nice little break.  It feels like ages since I've put pen to pap- er... fingers to the keyboard.  It feels even more strange that I have less than a month here in Europe.  These last few months have been moving at a million miles an hour, yet it still feels … Continue reading Like A King →

Cam’s 2017 NFL Mock Draft

This past week has been naught but editing vlogs, writing the Spain blog, and studying for finals.  As such, there aren't any big stories this week.  Therefore, I figured I'd do something different.  Here we go. If anyone knows me, they know that I LOVE football.  I've played it, I've coached it, and I live … Continue reading Cam’s 2017 NFL Mock Draft →

The World Between Spain and Me

Welcome welcome one and all to my account of one of the most eventful, exhausting, and outgoing trips of my entire life - my journey to SPAIN! I came to the realization on day 8 that it would be an insane amount of effort to write about every little detail that occurred during each day … Continue reading The World Between Spain and Me →

Post Schedule

Posts will be released as reason and time constraints dictate.  While I stuck to a schedule during my original posts my life has come to change drastically.  As such, the schedule will be removed so as to allow for a leniency that will allow for better, more thoughtful postings.

The last day I was in San Sebastián, I was walking along the pier looking out into the bay. The hour was growing late, and I vaguely remember I was finishing up an ice cream cone after sitting in the nearby shopping by promenade having some street food, watching the locals and tourists alike enjoy the beautiful Spring evening.
“You look like someone who is a long way from home and isn’t entirely sure why they are here.” Elliot heard from the corner of the church. He turned to face a woman, shorter in stature, ensconced in a dark hijab, her lighter olive brown complexion and accent giving away a life lived in the Middle East - her age suggesting that she had grown up through the turmoil of the past 20 years.
Humid air pulled Elliots’ sweatshirt down against his body. His shoes felt heavy against the old cobbled road. Down the alley he could hear sounds of the bars opening up for the evening - the chatter of tourists rising in a language he did not understand.
“You see, Elliot, all these people here, all these people are here looking for something. Some seek a simple photo they can send to their social medias for... well... being social. Others come simply come because of the historical significance. A few are likely locals out to people-watch. But mostly, the people here are searching for the affirmation that their lives have meaning, purpose; that everything is governed on the basis of good will and benevolence.”
Rain beaded down the sides of Elliot’s jacket as he stood at the steps of the church. Not by choice, he noted, feeling the saturated wool from his fingerless gloves; his fingers numb and unresponsive to the breath he saw fade away into clouds down the street. His head bowed low in the shame of accepting such charity, he silently stepped up and through the old oak doors into silence permeated only by the flickering crackle of prayer candles that lit the walkway into the sanctum.
Thanks for the memories Pedey. Enjoy retirement!
