As some of you may know, Spring Break has finally arrived and today I will be roadtripping down to Miami Beach. My stay will include a vast amount of grand affairs, and I’ll will be more than delighted to keep you guys updated daily. There will be a ton of images snapped, as well as a substanial amount of video captured. All coming from the lens of my camera that resides in the Incase Backpack which I never leave home without.

Saturday afternoon I found myself heading west on I-10 to catch my university (Sam Houston State) play in the Southland Conference Basketball Tournament Championship. After a dominating victory over our arch rivals Stephen F. Austin University and an automatic berth into the NCAA Championship Tournament, there was nothing further I could think about except the two “Five Guys” establishments we passed on the way. Generally located on the east coast of the United States, I was rather excited when I received word that we were getting a few here. I knew I’d have to make my way there at least a few hundred times.

I usually like to keep these “Good Eats” installments short and sweet, so here goes my exposition: The Five Guys building in itself was very welcoming and “spacey.” The timeless decor gave a nice impression of a 1960’s style diner. As for the burger, it receives a 9.3/10 from me. Definitely one of the better burgers I’ve had in my lifetime. In fact, I think it only falls short to the glorious, eminent establishment they call “In-N-Out.” Which was a 10/10 from every aspect. I’ll definitely be making my way back to the west coast soon..

I felt it was super appropriate for me to pull out my MK13 Tee for the Nice Kicks Grand Opening.

This last week has been an instance where you’ve clearly spotted the finish line ahead, but it seems as if it’s light years away. With every college student around the country on late night study schedules to complete mid-terms before the thought of spring break kicks in, I lucked out and spent most of my week answering interview questions a young journalist from DC sent over. In the midst of creating some of the most majestic answers you’ll ever read, I once again re-assured myself that “I am my own biggest fan.” While you may refer to this as a case of narcissism, I assure you that my thoughts are fabricated on nothing more than complete confidence.

If you don’t believe in yourself, how do you ever suspect someone else will? Believe that your dreams are there for far more than just pleasant thoughts of what you life could’ve been, they’re meant to be fulfilled.

“Its not a question of will it ever happen, but when it’ll actually happen.” In the words of the “Moon Man” Scott Mescudi, “Dream On Good.”

Anyone who halfway knows me, know I rarely ever post music videos. However, I felt this was very admissible.

If you a modern day college student or just a human being for that matter, you fully understand the significance that an establishment such as Wal-Mart plays in your nutritional well-being. I found myself pacing the aisles yesterday in dire need of the basic essentials, my basic essentials:

*Charmin Ultra Soft (Double Roll)
*Glaceau Vitamin Water (Power-C)
*Ozarka Water
*Simply Lemonade (w/ Raspberry)
*Cap’n Crunch Berries
*Dole Mixed Fruit
*Red Baron Classic Crush Pizza
*Austin Cheese Crackers (w/ Peanut Butter)

Final note: It’s quite possible I will consume nearly all of this within the next few hours.
