The last two months was a struggle on accomplishing more promises, but after a learning year, I’d say doing this has helped me as a person and brought new confidence that was once lost. Compared to my last bi-monthly blog, I’m kind of bummed out that my last entry of 2018 wasn’t satisfying. More postponements …

List of Promises: The Sequel – Dreaming Bigger Goals
A year of rebuild is what I’ll define 2018. Now heading into 2019, it’s the year of expansion and building a name for myself locally, regionally and even nationally. My new list will focus on all three traits, and it’s probably the best way to get out of the mundane life and turn it into …

The Last On-Assignment: 2016 Battle of the Palouse
Two years removed from my last-ever Argonaut assignment, I reflect as to what my mind was focusing on as I embarked on covering the 2016 Battle of the Palouse. Wednesday, December 7, 2016 – A snowy and chilly night at the Palouse, but it didn’t stop me and a group of about six people to …

Thanksgiving 2018: Reflecting on Those Who’ve Helped Me This Past Year
Thanksgiving is more than just food, but a time of reflection of what’s gone down over the past year, and it couldn’t be done without certain people helping me in some capacity. Thanksgiving Day is the time of year when we reflect and thank those who are a part of our lives. However, this year …

List of Promises (Bi-Monthly Update): Accomplishing Machine and Looking Ahead
Huge confidence booster after completing several major tasks, and covering a historic event. However, with just two months remaining, there’s still other goals yet to be accomplished.

Fighting for Acceptance: What Being 23 Taught Me
Age 23 has a moniker, “nobody likes you when you’re 23.” Finding acceptance is like jumping through a fire, not knowing the implications it’ll produce. Nobody likes you when you’re 23. Not “Year Jordan,” but that phrase has a stigma. I don’t get why this came to be, nor would I care to know because …

Finding A Purpose: My Road to Redemption
There’s so much people can do in this world, but it often takes a lot of thinking and struggle to overcome adversity, including suicidal tendencies that almost rocked my core in 2017. It was a quiet, normal Saturday morning last September, when my world shook its absolute lowest point of my life. Yet another career …
List of Promises (Bi-Monthly Update): Not in a Relationship, Sorry Folks
The Road to Portland is near, and I’m having some doubles. Slow month of making progress, but I have learned a lot on how purchasing a house is no joke and simply saying, ‘GO FOR IT’ in two categories. After listening to Avril Lavigne’s cover of “Fuel” by Metallica (which was wimpy), it’s a perfect …

List of Promises (Bi-Monthly Update): The Twisted Roads Takes Its Toll
More damages were made than actually making progress. What appeared all things was going nice has turned upside down since my last bi-monthly update in February. Let’s cut to the chase, it has been an underwhelming last two months. That one article I wrote about joining a NASCAR team was an April Fools joke. As …
