The Hitchhiker

0 comments

  Sometimes, I see people walking on the road I take to work each day. Not the highway but the road with no markers, signs or road lines. It’s a road that goes for a few miles before turning into a dirt road and it’s the road that carries me home each day. Most people [...]

My Detox: Social Media and Internet Knowledge

0 comments

Since completing a 30-day break from a lot of things, I’ve been too busy to actually write about the experience. I failed on a couple of things. One of those was no meat and another was no beer. I did well but caved in a few days short of my 30-day mark. There are no [...]

It only takes one.

I discovered this video today: It takes one person to inspire others and to destroy everything. The fate of the world really is in our hands. I have a fast metabolism so, despite the fact that you can consider me overweight, I haven’t gained a pound in years. My weight at 270 pounds has remained [...]

Our Comfort Zone

0 comments

It has been three days since I last checked Facebook. I haven’t had coffee or beer or meat in three days and my level of boredom from the lack of television and other stimulants grows at an even greater pace than my appetite. It’s also the 11th day that my neighbors smoke marijuana from dawn [...]

Starting my Annual Detox…now.

Comments Off

Wasting no time following my last post, “Hello 2012.” I have decided to kick off the annual detox a month early and I’m upping the challenge from last year in a way that seems completely impossible but is worth a shot. This is not a resolution for the new year and I welcome all of [...]

Hello 2012.

0 comments

Another year has passed and I’m happy about everything that happened. In the material world, not much has changed in a way that I should document beyond what has been written on this blog. The lack of changes in my job, home and geographical location allowed me a few things that were missing from previous [...]

“Click! You’re gone.”

0 comments

I’m a slow reader so it’s a fear of mine that I’m the last Apple fan to complete the biography of Steve Jobs which was delivered to me via Kindle on its release date. Part of me is certain that many of us who didn’t think twice about buying the book didn’t actually read it [...]

A Healthy Life – Part Five

0 comments

It was inevitable that I’d do another one of these posts centered on healthy living. My journey began last year when I was nearly a 23-year-old diabetic after spending the first 20 years of my life in martial arts, bodybuilding, running and surfing alongside my father who is a personal trainer. It was embarrassing that [...]

Steve’s Departure

Comments Off

I wrote everything there was to say last month but, like many of my peers, I assumed that there was more time for Steve to recover and influence a few more things before leaving the world forever. Also, I think we all assumed that the passing of Jobs would be big but not this big. I’m [...]

Ideas of March. Write more.

0 comments

Read this from Chris Shiflett and then read this from Frank Chimero. This shouldn’t be an idea of March and should continue on and on and on. Writing is absolutely therapy for so many of us just as I zone out when dancing at a festival or photographing. To spend all day dancing on Miami [...]
