Over a year ago, I left my finance job to move to Texas. I needed adventure. I needed a break. I needed some change. The day after my last day, Lehman Brothers collapsed and took the industry with it. I haven’t had a job since. After running out of money, I […]

I remember what it was like to dance before having self-awareness.  You could get lost in the music and let it move you however you desired.  You didn’t have to worry about what you looked like or how you came across or what others might think of your moves.  You […]

Remember that Subway commercial where Reggie Bush tells the kid to stay hungry and eat the sandwich?  Well, I ate the sandwich and I am no longer hungry.  I am that dog that has lived through one too many thunderstorms and has decided to lie down save for trips to […]

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it. – C.S. […]

I’ve decided to change it up a bit this Monday and include the below video along with this series of posts about an affair. “Return to me,” declares the LORD Almighty, “and I will return to you.” – Zechariah 1:3 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken […]

I like it when unlikely candidates are somehow linked together.  Magic Johnson and Larry Bird is the pairing that immediately comes to mind.  Magic is black.  Larry is white.  Magic came from the city.  Larry was raised on a farm.  Magic played on the west coast.  Larry played on the […]

I have to let you in on a little secret.  I love blogging. I love reviewing books.  I love watching videos on YouTube.  I love getting comments. I love it when things that I’ve subconsciously been thinking about spill onto the page. I love feeling listened to.  I love getting […]
