Lucas, Aspiring Academic

Hello. My name is Lucas. I currently reside in Fairport, NY and aspire to be a professor, writer, and life long academic. After graduating from Saint John Fisher College with a BA in Economics, I decided to take a break from school to be with friends and family, and to gain some clarity. I know what I want to do and I have my goals, I am simply in no rush. I took a job at the Apple store in Eastview and couldn't ask for a better group of people to work with. It's fun, laid back, and I get to play with cool stuff all day.


I live every day making simple, conscious decisions that I know can change the world if we are all influenced to do so, hence my tagline: Live Green. Some may call me a snob or an out right jerk about certain things, but I stick to my guns. Some things to me are more important than others.

Honeoye Build and other random thoughts.




Ah, where to start. A few weeks ago I spent a Saturday putting up dry wall on a house in Honeoye. The house was in a beautiful area almost on Honeoye Lake. The house will go to a mother and daughter of Honeoye. I was happy to help out for the day. We had a large group of people who got the whole house dry walled in about 5 hours.

I loved helping out with the Ontario country chapter of Habitat for Humanity. With the help of my friend Becky Steele, I want to get a group of fellow volunteers from work and such to help with the fundraiser for the next build. October I have been told will be the best month. In September I guess a group of Starbuckians are going to do a beach clean-up project in Charlotte. I will definitely be taking part in that.

I've had a lot on my mind in the past weeks. News and politics, friends and summer, future and present. I'm settled in quite well with both jobs. It will be even better in the next few weeks after I split the time more truly. I wish I had more to say but I've been working so much lately. Most of what's been on my mind has been drawn out by work.

After Friday I should have an interesting entry to post. I'll be taking my only vacation of the summer, a road trip for the most part, but to the outerbanks in Carolina. The same day I get back I'll be camping before warped tour. It's gonna be a good time and I'll hopefully take some good pictures.
