Paradise Lost, Purpose Gained
I had become that which I despised the most — mediocre. Just another blip on the continuum of time and space. I would die irrelevant, unremarkable, unremembered, disenchanted with existence but worst of all, filled with regret. Regret for the hours I could’ve spent training and didn’t. Somehow, at the same time though, regret for the hours I did spend training but could’ve been partying or chasing girls. Regret for having turned down multiple ivy league universities to chase a pipedream. At least that’s what it felt like now. My “dream” had been little more than the ridiculous fantasy of a juvenile.

Making the Decision to Simply Be
The world is full of young, impressionable, and oftentimes talented artists. Best known as the group of eccentrics we all meet in High School, artists are everywhere and anywhere. But making the jump from an individual producing work we love, to a paid professional is a big one. And it's not something most people can afford either. After graduation, the world feels bright and new and full of opportunities. But the daunting reality is that you will struggle to get where you want to be. But that's just a sign of your success. If life is easy, you're not doing it right.

Morning Person
We were all there, staying up until morning, sleeping only 10+ hours pleading in the afternoon and being found back. To become a student, I had to change my routine of sleeping to fit in with my schoolwork. I had to be a man of the morning and night. when I started university I had many classes of night classes, I had no morning classes, and that I found that I often did my best work at night. I had no work so I always slept when needed. The second year comes with the fact that I have an 8:30 AM phase and that I usually start work at 7:00 am on some days. I also welcome cats who enjoy waking me up early to beg for food. I’ll tell you how I did it, how I became a morning man ... and I wouldn’t wear a BS “morning workout” because not everyone wants to encourage and exercise.

Do Not Lose Your Inner Gift
Last year, I decided to focus on something that has always been apart of me for quite sometime. I used to treat this element as an afterthought because I drive myself away from it just to indulge in what makes me happy. However, I have grown tired of the same old thing. The Information Technology industry is more cutthroat, than it is a success story. I reflect on the journey of being a IT. fanatic, to the point where I would have a huge chip on my shoulder refusing to knock it off for the sake of my own good. Reality hit me along with the chip as I reflect on the woes of my journey:

Suitcase Confessions
If I were to tell you that I left a regular 9 to 5, my wife left an up and coming career, and my only son was comfortable with online school as we approach the hotel room leaving everything behind but our own needs including a laptop, would you believe me? Sadly this ended up being the case because of an uncertain future beyond the call of duty. The plans were laid out by my wife and I, we were going to get our passports, get the job overseas as teachers, and make it out of this country like fat rats.

Writing is I
My first few days on Facebook were tedious, getting friends? How do you do that? It was hard and frustrating to me. I was recently retired, 62, and like an infant when it came to trying this, for me, new media platform. My daughter, Jennifer or Jenny, Jen or Poo or Poo Poo or strung together Jenny Poo Poo, was calm. She understood my Facebook friend’s frenzy and told me her friends on Facebook, were a collection of people from when she was little, school friends, work buddies, relatives and church. This was enough to launch me into seeking Facebook friends.

GARDEN OF DREAMS
It all began with an unremarkable decision to plant daffodil bulbs around some boulders during the fall of 1999. The mounds of rock appeared near the neglected rustic A-frame my partner and I had purchased the previous summer in Bear Valley Springs near Tehachapi, California. My goal was to clear the debris from the long-abandoned culvert that snaked its way down our hillside property line. The boulders were partially buried in a depression that worked its way downward to a rough and sagging twenty-foot square redwood platform. I imagined the deck had served as a gathering place for prospective real estate buyers. Not in my driven thoughts did I think the appearance of those abandoned boulders would possess me for the next ten years.

What Is This Trying To Teach Me?
One of the key ways to elevate your mind, body, and soul is to change the questions you ask yourself and the Universe. The question of why is irrelevant most of the time. Change the why question to what and you may begin to see a change. Every obstacle is a lesson and every quarrel is a chance to learn something about yourself and the other party, if any. This is one of the most powerful lessons I have learned that has power shifted my way of thinking.

Practice Makes Permanent 2
"I'd like to assure you that this is not done by strange fellows with long hair who live in attics and wear berets. It is done by extremely disciplined human beings who are trying to allow you as people...to see through their eyes the visual beauty of this world." -- Vincent Price
