I think I figured out what's wrong with the world. It came to me in a sign this past weekend while riding my bike through Massachusetts. It wasn't a spiritual awakening or a vision of the Virgin Mary in my french toast. Nothing like that. Just a sign. An actual street sign. It read: "Please Make an Effort to Drive Safely" It doesn't seem like Read More
Stop telling people that you are doing your best. You're not. And deep down inside you know that you're not. In fact, we all know it. Even the people that don't know you can smell it from the other room. You are merely pretending as though you are doing your best in order to feel better about yourself once you decide to give up. Doing your best Read More
Just so we're clear. I don't care about you. I am not going to "Like" your Facebook page. I don't follow your Tweets. I also don't read your blog. And quite frankly, I think it is a bit pretentious of you to think that I should just because you sent me an impersonal automated message asking me to. Don't get me wrong. I want to care. I want to Read More
Yup. That's my foot on the picture. On a side note, it was taken before I cut it up while stepping on what I have to assume was a shell. Although I've been telling everyone it was a stingray because that's sounds so much cooler. I'm a bit accident prone. Behind my foot is the Gulf of Mexico. I am writing this post while comfortably sitting back Read More
That's right, I said it. The Golden Rule sucks. This whole idea of treat others as you want to be treated doesn't work. Sure, it looks good on paper but if you are interested in building quality relationships with other people that are not your clones, treating them as you want to be treated is not going to get it done. Suppose for example that Read More
Julien Smith is a good writer. Scratch that. He's a great writer. But he's a better human being. Based on my experience anyway, A few months ago I wrote a post called Is It OK to Say #%*+! on Your Blog? Julien was briefly mentioned. For those that don't follow him, he tends to drop the occasional #%*+! on his blog. In fact, he's actually quite Read More
I decided to bring in a guest blogger for todays post. No, I'm not being lazy. I just thought it might be nice for us all to see things from a different perspective. Don't worry, I'll be back on Thursday. It'll go by fast, I promise. So, without further ado, I would like to introduce you to todays guest blogger. My dog Cali. Bark! Bark! Read More
Anything is possible. Sort of. You have to first live in a world of possibility where anything is possible in order for anything to be possible. I know. That's a mouthful. Right after college I lived in possibility. I decided that I wanted to play bass on Broadway. It never occurred to me that it might not work out. A whole bunch of people told Read More
I wrote this post about a month ago. I held off from publishing it because I thought each of these "rules" should be second nature by now. Apparently they aren't. I know they aren't because when I came across it today, I found that I have been breaking several of them. I can't imagine I'm the only one... Read More
I am turning 40 this year. I don't feel old. In all honesty, the number doesn't mean all that much to me. But I am told that it's a big milestone so now I feel somewhat obligated to reflect on it. (Insert uncomfortable silence here) OK, I'm done reflecting. If I think back to when I was a kid thinking ahead to when I would turn 40 (I believe Read More
