HoldingOntoTheFuture

My name is Kegan Michael Hayes. I go to Southeastern Louisiana University in the middle of nowhere. Hammond, Louisiana to be exact. I like to think I see the world in a different way than most people around me. I love life and am loving being on my own for the first time in my life, although it gets hard at times. If you have anymore questions about me, just ask! Also, check out my life on my personal Tumblr, http://mylifeinneutral.tumblr.com/

And just like that, the Pittsburgh Penguins have done it again! Five Stanley Cups: 1991, 1992, 2009, 2016, and now 2017! #Repeat #BackToBack #BurghProud 🏒🏆🐧🏒🏆🐧🏒🏆🐧🏒🏆🐧🏒🏆🐧 (at Nashville, Tennessee)

If you knew me, you'd know how far I've traveled. (at Red Rock Scenic Byway in Sedona, AZ)

I told myself I wasn't going to cry. I said I would be strong, but nothing could have prepared me for the pain and loss I felt as I handed Jose from Hertz the keys to Ol' Yeller... #HeresToTheMemories #CruisingCoconino #DesertDriver #SayonaraSedona #FarewellPhoenix (at Hertz Return-Sky Harbor Int'l)

Hertz screwed up our car rental reservation; after some brief negotiations on my part, we drove off the lot in this 2016 Ford Mustang convertible for no additional charge! #Always #Be #Closing (at Phoenix, Arizona)

When you travel to Arizona during the month of June, you wear shorts. #DryHeat (at JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa)

Clare unfortunately does not share in my love for the Pittsburgh Penguins... #Smashville #PredatorsFan #HouseDivided (at Bridgestone Arena)

Clare and I spent the afternoon walking around downtown Nashville and stumbled upon this gem. This is the "Smash Car" that Nashville fans are supposed to hit with a sledge hammer in hopes that it will bring good luck on the ice to the Nashville Predators... Well, smash this car all you want because the Pittsburgh Penguins are made of battle-hardened steel... #BurghProud #GeauxPens #BackToBack #StanleyLivesInPittsburgh (at Bridgestone Arena)

"May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam. And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home. And my you grow to be proud, dignified and true. And do unto others as you'd have done to you. Be courageous and be brave. And in my heart you'll always stay Forever young." Happy Mothers' Day, mama. Even though we are hundreds of miles away, separated by a couple of states, you will always be in my heart. Thank you for always putting up with me; I love you! #ShesRightBehindMe #WinOrLose #ForeverYoung (at Forever Young)

Samuel "Sammy" Edward Brewer... Words cannot begin to describe your place in our family. Every soulful note that echoes from a harmonica reminds me of you and the wonderful years of companionship you gave our family. You were such a good dog. Thank you for taking care of us in ways we could never fully appreciate until this morning. Hopefully now you can hear the music again. #RIP #2001_2017 (at Jackson Park Recreation Center)

This picture sums up last night's game against the Caps perfectly. Note that the rookie phenom, Jake Guentzel, is pinned and sitting inside the goal... #TotalTeamEffort #BurghProud (at Washington, District of Columbia)
