I almost forgot i had a blog…
I’m sorry to those of you who have been checking my blog for the past few months. Its not that I haven’t had anything interesting to say, or that Ive been to busy, or that I have any excuse whatsoever… I just haven’t done ANY writing in quite some time, and I have that itch again.
Lets see, since the last time I wrote, I have gotten a new job, almost lost said job, dated a few different women, been more and more confused by them, and was more inspired than I have ever been. ever.
Sometimes in life, you get a chance to witness pure, raw, strength. And by strength, I mean courage. I mean resilience. I mean that someone conquers something that seems impossible. I found out just how strong my family is. I won’t go into details, but I watched my grandpa, Louie “Swift Eagle” Morren, kick lifes ass. The man is the true definition of strength to me, something that is not only inspiring, but humbling. I may go into more detail and explain this inĀ a later post, but for now, thats all i wanted to say. I am still in shock at his strength.
I have also met someone recently who has completely turned my world upside down. i can’t really say anything more than that because i still have no idea what has happened, or what will happen, between us. I can say that I am still curious, still excited, and still completely overwhelmed by even the thought of her. Damn women.
My new job has been heaven and hell. Has brought me pure joy and passion, as well as the most stress that I have felt in two years. It has completely reshaped my life. I am now a beer rep for a company named CR Goodman. Any of you who know me personally probably think that there could not possibly be a better job for a beer geek like me. That part is true. I love the beer industry, love talking about fine ales, really enjoy tasting the fine ales, and I have a sincere passion for what I do. On the other hand, this job has been challenging everything that I am not good at. Planning, organization, remembering dates, places and times, just to name a few. This job is kicking my ass! But, whenever I find something that I doubt that I can do, or when others doubt what I can do, I grit my teeth and do it. Its that simple. i am under the impression (some call it being naive), that anyone can do anything. They just have to want to do it, and believe that they can do it.
Ok, well it was good to get some writing done, finally. Hopefully, someone still reads this blog!
Smile, it feels good.

what you’ve been doing in your job and what you did the past two years in getting yourself well is what Grandpa Louie did in the hospital – grit your teeth and just do what needs to be done. You don’t quit, you don’t feel sorry for yourself and you find the positive in whatever obstacles you’re working through. There is definitely some Swift Eagle in you, besides the blonde hair and bowl cut when you were little

Hey Brett, for some reason when I left the comment above, I was logged in as you on my computer. You must have written it when you were using my computer and never logged out. Delete the comment if you want so it doesn’t look like you commented on your own post and then I’ll rewrite it later.
