DC Exclusive

The days are going by quick. Work is busy and I am finally making some new friends around DC. As I’ve been telling everyone: the city is growing on me. I haven’t forgot about Texas and I still think about it everyday. Before I get called “Yankee” one more time, I just wanted to make that clear. ☺

One of the coolest things I have been able to experience is a run I went on last night. It has been a while since I have run so I had originally planned to run around the block a few times. I ran around the block, around Lincoln Park, and headed to the Capitol Building. I ran to the steps of the Capitol Building and then kept running. I went past the Library of Congress, past a few of the Smithsonian’s, all the way to the Washington Monument. Ran around some there, then turned around and came home. I mapped it out and it ended up being around eight miles, which isn’t bad for not having run in a while. As I was running, I just couldn’t help but be amazed in my surroundings. I mean, seriously. How blessed I am to be able to take a light jog around the neighborhood – Capitol Hill.

To those of you who take the time to read this, you have no idea how much it means to me. Writing is a way for me to vent, and truly express how I am feeling. Being out of college, it is so much easier to brainstorm and think and write all of those things down. This is something I really enjoy, and being able to share this with those of you who read and support me makes it that much better.

With more time, as thoughts come to mind I have begun to write them down more frequently. I am currently working on/thinking about several things. Here’s a sneak peak at some of the stuff I will be publishing in the near future:

“War Torn” – the retelling and analysis of a nightmare I had where I dreamed I was deployed overseas.

“What the Corps Doesn’t Prepare You For” – As I prepare to go back to College Station, Texas for Aggie Muster next month, I am recollecting on everything that has happened in year since I have left the Corps of Cadets.

“Not Another Aggie Blog” – A comparison of Texas A&M with the University of Texas. Of course I am biased, but I have always respected UT for the school that it is. I will present a different argument and prove why Texas A&M is the best school is the state of Texas.

“Danny’s DC Bucket List” – I’ve appreciated everyone’s suggestions on this. I am still compiling the final list (which I should hurry), but I will post it soon.

The main reason for this entry is to say thank you for everyone who keeps up with me, especially those of you who have read my entire blog. While that is crazy and maybe even a little bit creepy, I do appreciate it. Next blog should be up by the end of the week. Love you all, God Bless, and Gig ‘Em.
