From junior high to now: Yep, here I am, still trying to ‘fit in’
By Jamie Massengale, READ MORE > 1,506 Reads
On Wed, 12/02/2020 - 03:58 PM

Trying to fit in can be tough. It’s something that I have always tried to do, but sometimes it just doesn’t work out.

Change is messy, hard and necessary
READ MORE > 975 Reads
On Wed, 08/05/2020 - 03:44 PM

Why is change so hard?  
As much as I would like to pride myself on being a person who’s always trying new things, I can’t rightfully say that’s how I am in good conscience.
I often get stuck eating at the same restaurants and ordering the same foods I’ve ordered before: creatures of habit, or something like that.

Embrace the Art

I have lived in Hattiesburg since 2001. Before moving to Hattiesburg, I was familiar with the town as the setting for The University of Southern Mississippi.
There were many summers of venturing down to USM (from my hometown of Meridian) for week-long music camps.

Hurry Up and Wait
By Jamie Massengale, READ MORE > 1,447 Reads
On Wed, 04/29/2020 - 07:21 PM

You know the old proverb, “Patience is a virtue.” Well I must be as virtuous as the day is long.

I’ve been told my entire life to hurry up and wait and now is my time to shine. I’ve actually been waiting for this moment, believe it or not.

An optimist’s guide to Pandemic survival

Eat Pray Love, and binge. Now, when I say eat, pray, and love, I don’t mean go find yourself while traveling the world. Now is probably not the best time to go to Italy, India, Indonesia, or any countries that start with I. (Ireland and Iceland, I see you.) Oh, but the prices couldn’t be lower.

THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR, IMO
By Jamie Massengale, READ MORE > 4,394 Reads
On Wed, 01/29/2020 - 06:06 PM

It's finally here! It's been said that variety is the spice of life. Well, if that's true, what's better than a variety of ingredients and actual spices all blending together to make that perfect bite?

Put your phones down, people – especially during concerts
By Jamie Massengale, READ MORE > 1,941 Reads
On Thu, 01/16/2020 - 05:29 PM

I don’t know about you, but I love music. In fact, I love most all kinds of music from rock and hip-hop to reggae and bluegrass.

I also love to attend concerts and am a big supporter of live music.

Dirty Santa: Time to address the White Elephant in the room
By Jamie Massengale, READ MORE > 2,218 Reads
On Thu, 12/19/2019 - 11:31 AM

It must have been well over 20 years ago that I played my first game “Dirty Santa.” For the record: I’ve never called this game “White Elephant.”

Disc Golf: More than just a walk in the park
By Jamie Massengale, READ MORE > 1,607 Reads
On Thu, 08/22/2019 - 10:02 AM

You may not realize it, but disc golf, or frisbee golf to the layperson, has been around for decades.

The sport (yes, I said sport) has been constantly evolving and growing. Long gone are the days of throwing big rimmed discs at objects across the quads of your college campus.
