The Infinite Abyss

Called the Infinite Abyss as a reference to the movie "Garden State," this is the blog of a 24-year-old, single guy in Kentucky--about his life, current events, travel, work, sports, essentially anything.

At twenty-four years, I have seen too little of the world yet. Raised in southern Kentucky, on catfish and sweet tea, I've learned to balance my upbringing with liberal thoughts. Surprisingly, they cohabit peacefully. Traveling internationally is what I love most. If I could do anything for the next year, I'd backpack abroad. But instead, I work in higher education for my alma mater and am a graduate student for the next two years; I love both realities. Eventually, I want to work for a study abroad program.

On Being Young

There is something magnificent about living in a town of 50,000 people and it being somewhat of a university town. Despite the "I Hate Living in Bowling Green" club on facebook, I believe that there is a charm that oozes from this town, even given it's gnarly traffic, over-abundance of greasy restaurants, and let's face it, rednecks.

I meant to blog about this a few weeks ago, but never did. One night, I was on the way home after bitch day (Thursday) and was near pooed. Then, I pulled onto my road and there was a young girl sitting there in her car waiting for the stoplight, dancing like a wild woman. It made me happy. It renewed my own youth and reminded me that I too should be dancing in my car.

Tonight, I sat at the same stop light and remembered the girl, and was thankful that I'm 24 and feel good about life.
