“I miss that sensation of a small achievement feeling like a really big...” — Gavin DeGraw Quote

I miss that sensation of a small achievement feeling like a really big deal.

But I've never considered myself any kind of heartthrob. It sounds painful.

I happen to be a guy who also plays the piano and sings, so people automatically associate me with Billy Joel.

You can be a singer, and you can be a guitar player, but putting them together is another animal.

I live in a bus and go from place to place and sometimes feel very detached from what's going on.

On the basis of biological, sociological, and historical knowledge, we should recognize that the individual self is subject to death or decay, but the sum total of individual achievement, for better or worse, lives on in the immortality of The Larger.

It is extraordinary how safe flying has become. You are now statistically more likely to be elected president of the United States in your lifetime than you are to die in a plane crash. What an amazing achievement as a society! But what we end up focusing on are the catastrophic failures that are incredibly rare but happen every now and then.

The only achievement I am really proud of is the friends I have made in this community.

Amazingly enough, athletic achievement is one of those things that seems larger than life at points. I think we all look to sport for inspirations.
