Take Tomorrow One Day At A Time...: So many updates, so little time...
http://bsim9.blogspot.com/2010/04/so-many-updates-so-little-time.html
Take Tomorrow One Day At A Time. Welcome to my attempt at relaying my life experiences, especially my upcoming Bike and Build adventure! Because. "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." (Helen Keller). So many updates, so little time. It's been forever since I updated. I once again must apologize for my lack of updates. With finals and final projects bearing down, I feel like time is not something I have a lot of these days. 1) FINALLY meeting another rider on my route! Say it like you mean it!

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: May 2011
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. On Good Friday, a storm rolled through St. Louis that put a wrench into everyone's Easter plans. The storm brought with it a surplus of water and tornadic winds, a potent combination for the northern neighborhoods of St. Louis. The water softened the soil, loosening the grips of even hundred-year old tree roots on their soil. One resident described it as sounding just like they say in the movies, "Like a freight train.". While I knew what I was...

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: December 2009
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Wednesday, December 23, 2009. Yet another reflective post. I wonder, though, would doing so be a self-indulgent thing to do? It seems an oxymoron, considering it is a year of serving people and living simply. On the other hand I feel guilty that so many people don't get to do as awesome of things as I was able to do. I don't think that the program is a government funded vacation, by any means. It is a fiscally well-run organization from what I know. Now, I've begun ser...

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: October 2009
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Saturday, October 10, 2009. It's been one year and 4 days since I first embarked on my Amer-Adventures. All I have to say is that there should have been some sort of day-long workshop during graduation week about integration back into society. I remember joking about it during graduation with my TL friend Brandon (he had done the CM- TL transition) that the next few weeks for were going to be like the beginning scene of Apocalypse Now!

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: August 2009
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Monday, August 17, 2009. So I've been getting increasingly frequent requests for my take on my next steps in life from family members. After a week of deliberating and researching, here is my best guess as to what the next few years will look like. Posted by Jesse Bright. Wednesday, August 5, 2009. It's been said time and time again by many different people, but 'you can't come home again'. Either you change or home changes, but either way it's never quite the same.

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: November 2009
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Wednesday, November 18, 2009. Great Things about AmeriCorps. I was reminiscing, as I often do, about NCCC the other day. I was trying to put a finger on another one of those things that doesn't come as easy in life outside of AmeriCorps, and I think I realized what it was. Change. Times like these seem to have happened at punctuated events in life: my ICC trip to Paris, my freshman year at DePauw, my trip to Costa Rica. What I wonder is why does something so drasti...

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: Raw Power
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2011/04/raw-power.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Friday, April 1, 2011. We arrived in the early afternoon, as the heat rose from the high seventies to the low eighties. The day had been warm and windy, but after 2:00 PM the conditions went from interesting to concerning. Wind gusts changed directions on a whim, blowing the warm early spring air from our faces to our back without warning. It was going to be a hell of an evening. Posted by Jesse Bright.

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: April 2011
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Friday, April 29, 2011. Belated Earth Day Post. Just a disclaimer: I meant to write and post this a week ago, on the actual Earth Day or close to it, but the recent tornadoes rolling through the northern neighborhoods of St. Louis have made my life a bit hectic since Friday. As to whether my role was positive or negative. Book 1: A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. Corresponding Films: The National Parks: America's Best Idea, by Ken Burns. On a side note, this idea ...

The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse: February 2011
http://strengthenyourcorps.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
The Merry Amer-Adventures of Jesse. Monday, February 28, 2011. Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to be part of one of my first disaster relief experiences. While the conservation element of ERT has it's upsides- being outdoors, felling trees, communing with nature- I was ready to get on a project that connected me more with people than with trees. Posted by Jesse Bright. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Now, I've begun serving in AmeriCorps St. Louis- Emergency Response Team. We are a group of...I am ...
