Usually, I feel invincible. I exercise with intensity and fervor. I drink and eat with gusto. I work energetically and passionately. I devote myself diligently to my music and writing. I consume the worlds entertainments whole-heartedly. I push through weariness and scoff at the idea of rest. And occasionally, these drives all catch up to […]

Fairy Tale Love Story
In early years, the nurture of our imagination was abundantly important. We were encouraged to build and create with multi-colored bricks to engage the creative aspects of our fragile and simultaneously constructive and entrepreneurial tendencies. We felt validated when playing at cops and robbers or cowboys and indians, feeling, this was the practice for adulthood. […]
Core
I had considered brewing my own beer for quite some time. But for some reason I never set out on that journey.

Mmmm…Smells Fresh
There are many existing entries in the dictionary defining the word fresh. Most point to the idea of something that is new, or at least newly created or discovered. In slang it can indicate something cool, or if I may, hip or jive. Realistically, I can’t possibly provide the most modern slang iteration of the […]
On being decent (or what I envision as decency)
I often wish I were a more complex man. In wishing for such a burden it is only my yearning to see and feel things more deeply than I already feel. Maybe it’s the sophistication that I wish I were able to attain. Maybe it’s a suave, intellectual-type image that I envision for myself in […]
