Hello, my name is Gary Miller and I am currently a Sophomore at scenic and tree-filled Augustana College. I am a Colorado native who currently lives in downtown Denver and is a proud graduate of Columbine High School. I am an English-Creative Writing major with a Theatre minor, I also enjoy coloring outside the lines in the coloring books my professors give me here. I love being involved with Augustana football, wrestling, and Phi Omega Phi. If you take time to read my blog I can’t guarantee you will become smarter or know how to do Kung Fu like the Matrix, but you and I can be e-friends (as the kids call it). Most importantly — Go Vikings!

Important for the readers out there to know is the architecture in that school was incredible. It was like walking into the house from [...]

Here are Tres (that’s english for [...]

I Became a Big Boy Today and Pampers Didn’t Even Notice
Spring break 2013 in Rock Island has been a learning experience thus far. I feel like the narrator in a growing up tale written by Stephen King’s nephew Rodney King.

I watched a Life Alert advertisement and it has nothing to do with this
I want to talk about something very near and dear to my heart. Well, whatever “heart” there is or emotions that I have. I read in Stalin Weekly that suppressing emotions is entirely normal and healthy. One day I’ll have mustache’s on my chest and brush my teeth with Pennzoil and barbwire. One day. OH! [...]
