Finding Shelter.

Today at work, I found myself doing a bit of research on a guy who started a company that we’re in the process of pitching. The man seems incredibly smart and has amazingly diverse professional experience, and at the end of his particular “About U…

Hope & Inspiration

Inspiration is a funny thing. Places where you never expected to find it, it exists. And places where you thought you would see it, you instead find that you’re coming up a bit short. In the past two weeks, I’ve found inspiration in the graffiti o…

The Happy Headache

Around 11am, a headache paid a visit to me. Ever since, it’s been hanging out and being a pest all day. I can’t shake it. A far cry from the migraines I used to get frequently, this one still managed to wreak havoc in its own way. A busy day kept …

Tulips to a Year

Quiet Influence

Have you ever met someone who had such a strong influence on your life — but you didn’t realize it at the time?I might’ve written about her before, but even if I have, I’m going to write about her again tonight. During high school, I wrote a few …

The Pimptastic 300

So there’s been this pimptastically janky Chrysler 300 parked in front of my house for at least 24 hours. I’ve seen it before in the neighborhood, and there’s no reason that it should be parked where it is. It’s usually parked on an adjacent stree…

100 Posts.

They say it takes 30 days to form a habit. They say that whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right. They say that the secret to writing is writing. Einstein said that the woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further …
