Spooky Little Things
Hi. Me again. It's been a minute and I'm excited to be writing this. I also kind of feel like I'm going to vomit. I am not good at self-promotion. However, I thought it only fair that I should promote myself a little. Besides, if I don't- how else can anyone possibly know that I wrote a freakin book?!

How Many Spoons Do You Have
My chronic disability has made me familiar with the spoon theory. According to Christine Miserandino in her blog titled The Spoon Theory, spoons symbolize our energy and how we manage it. People with Chronic Illness or Disability are given a limited number of spoons, and when those spoons run out, they have little energy to do anything else. Showering can take one third of the day’s energy, and on a bad day it can take even more.

Star Burst Epilogue
“Here I am, once again…” They say it’s never too late to start over. But realistically, I’m unsure how many attempts I have left to rediscover my “wheel,” the big thing I’m supposed to do in this world.

It's Me, It's Me, It's C.E.D.
Oh man, oh man, oh man. Where do I start? It's been a wild week for me, and it has little to nothing to do with sports; though it will be mentioned. In a span of a number of days, I went from bewildered, to panicked, to frustrated, to nearly on the point to tears, to finally receiving some relief, answers, and a solution. It was one hell of a test for me, and thankfully, I passed with flying colors.

Understanding Differentiation Cultivation In Experience Design
When you Focus your Life on Seeing the World a Certain Way... It's hard "Not" to See Life through that Lens. Over the years I have dedicated myself to Seeing what makes Entrepreneurs, Businesses, and Leaders Stand Out, and helping them Maximize the Potential that Exists within that.

The Genesis Of Sageship
Sometimes you know exactly where you're going to go. You walk out the door, go to Point A, and Return home. Other Times? A Journey Begins that You Were Not Expecting.

What's In A Year?
What’s in a year? The calming, numbing passage of days and nights. The questions asked in brightest daylight, the questions concealed with all one’s might.

Read when you want flowers
Create your own love, Every year I collect flowers. Fresh, I stick them into the NHL Winter Classic travel mug I took from the lost and found at my last job. After they die in the stagnant water, I thread my favorite stems in a piece of chicken wire I hang in the corner of my apartment. It's the end of the year and I love all of my flowers, but they're dead. It's time to move on.

Learn To Love The Grind
The grind! This morning, as I picked myself up and started my morning routine, I would do anything to stay in bed. After Tuesday’s round of chemotherapy, I feel like I’ve just gone two rounds with Mike Tyson in his prime.

Weeping Trees
I look up at the turnip-coloured sun in a sort of realization. At the same time, I'm astounded by the desensitization of a civilization. It's almost like a lapse in intelligence in the collective. I'm not depressed, I don't believe in emotional lags. I prefer the temple swept with inspiration even if pouring down is a dilemma.

Easy Rider
Two bikers transport cocaine across the American Southwest while being violently verbally and physically assaulted by small-town squares and murderous hill jacks in this quintessential "cultural touchstone" for the Hippie Generation. Directed by Dennis Hopper, it stars Hopper, Peter Fonda, and a young and handsome Jack Nicholson. Hopper plays "Billy"; Fonda is "Wyatt" or "Captain America" (he has a jacket with an American flag patch on the back that, during that era, would have been considered offensive). Nicholson is a drunken ACLU lawyer in a small-town jail. As they roar down the hot highway, headed toward New Orleans and the promise of a paradisiacal bacchanal called "Mardi Gras," we get an expansive view of the environment through which they drive their souped-up hogs. It's an amazing American landscape, as perfect as a Western landscape portrait, wherein scrubby arroyo is the unsmiling subject, its flat and desolate face punctured by huge grasping fingers of sacred stone thrusting upward to the blue murder sky. (Quoth Harrelson in Natural Born Killers, "Well, now that is poetry.")
