Every once in a while, or possibly more often, you get into a mood. It's usually because you don't feel well, haven't been able to get quality sleep, or because there's a shit-ton of crap going on in your life and you've had enough. For me, it is D) All of the above. It's not … Continue reading A Mood

Timing Is Crucial
Your voice is one of the most important tools you are given in life. Sadly, it is an under-utilized tool that we are born with. While I do often say that sometimes people take “freedom of speech” way too far, I also believe that far too many believe hold back for fear of what others … Continue reading Timing Is Crucial

Originally, I prepared a post for today that, after sleeping on it, I realized could be considered quite offensive for some of my readers. In an effort to be respectful and courteous, I'm going to file it away for my portfolio and not post it. I'm not a "Lets hurt as many people's feelings as … Continue reading Originally…

There Are Days
There are days, weeks, months even, when I have absolutely nothing to say. It doesn't mean I've shut down or that the thoughts and ideas in my head have stopped, it simply means I've got nothing to say. Sometimes it's very individualized. I have friends I speak with regularly that I do not tire of, … Continue reading There Are Days
