One month to breathe. One month to adjust. One month to frequently avoid all the creative habits that were my outlets. Discipline took a new car for a drive as we focused on the 9-5 when it became live and we worked to strive. There's probably other words that rhyme with "drive" but I'll save you the headache and we'll stop there.The need to write consistently took to the back seat when my promotion came forth. My new role with the company required a lot of time, a lot... more

It's like once you have a delicious Sour Patch Kid, how the hell can an apple even compare? The apple makes no noise within the realm of the taste buds. Now oooooooobviously you have to have another SPK, you can't have just one. Shit…the marketing gurus have us brainwashed. Why can't we just have one and then work to balance out the amusement park in our mouth by just getting back on the basic Ferris wheel? We don't need to ride the tilt-a-whirl repeatedly until... more

We're constantly monitoring our time but yet we can never manage it properly. Travel time. Our morning routines. A particular meeting. Everything we want to pack into a day. How much energy do we lose just trying to manage something…something that is arguably a manmade construct? We use a vibrating stone to track the pulse of a second in order to add up enough of them for minutes, which put 60 of them together and we get an hour. Guess how many we have of those per day? You guessed... more

You know, I made a to-do list at the beginning of the week. It was my to-do of the day: make sure this list is done and if anything needs to be added, add it to the lighter days. Well, turns out that there was a whole lot of shit to add. It feels like each day has been overwhelming and no matter what you do, you can't get it all done. Then whatever I needed to get done tomorrow that I couldn't get done today, it gets added to the list on top of everything that was already on it... on... more

That James Cameron is a mother fucker. The dude did it again. For 3 hours of sitting in some semi-comfortable seats, eating beef jerky, listening to a baby cry, and watching blue and now GREEN aliens fight off the bad guy marines…I was enthralled.This 3D movie made me forget that I was watching 3D. It made me feel like I was actually in the movie. At one point when it was raining in the film, I went to brush some water off of my jeans. I shit you not. Bullets were flying and I felt my... more

This world can be quite frustrating at times. In fact, it can be goddamned overwhelming to a point that the word "frustrating" isn't even the right word. How do you encapsulate a feeling into a word…an emotion that resembles internal and spontaneous combustion? It's not anger, it's not sadness, it's just frustration at it's purest form. It would be like using the word "hot" to describe the surface of the sun. It's just inaccurate and not... more
