I’m not doing this out of love - I’m doing it because you caught me at a good time.
candle parties (1)
I got into a fairly involved conversation this past weekend at a candle party.
The wife of a friend of mine was hosting one of those parties where the salesperson comes and shows the myriad of uses for candles in your home. My buddy was going to be the only male in attendance, so I volunteered [...]

Two years ago, for reasons that are beyond me, under circumstances I never would have imagined, I was given the greatest gift of my life. I found an equal, a partner, a muse, a role model, a best friend, a love beyond my wildest dreams. Today I publicly give my heart to you for [...]
Accountability (1)
I’m tired of being unaccountable for my actions.
I’m tired of living in a culture that tells me it’s okay, I can do what I want. I’m tired of being told that everything is subjective, tired of being told that I can rationalize away my worst thoughts and deeds. I’m tired of being able to chalk [...]

The past month or two of my life has been in a constant state of flux, and it’s starting to get to me.
With the move just completed and a wedding fast approaching, with countless projects piling up professionally, my mind has been all over the place. The two years I spent in New York blessed [...]
discouraging rejection (1)
When I go home to Colorado, I often look at pictures of my brother when we were young. He was the cutest kid I’ve ever seen, with a giddy smile and a dimple in his right cheek. He was so full of life, so quick to laugh, so eager to please our parents, so willing [...]
Villains (6)
When you’re in elementary school, you start a club. A spy club, or a ninja club, or a boys club or a treehouse club. And in doing so you create your own little world, something you identify with. You and your select group of friends who are in your club suddenly have something that other [...]

The real paradigm shift (0)
There’s a lot to love about the nature of the web community these days. People working on cool projects, loving what they do, excited to get up each day, truly believing that they have the creativity and passion to change the world in some small way. It’s the complete antithesis of so many corporate environments.
But [...]
Swept anyone off their feet lately? (1)
Overheard a conversation at the coffee shop this morning. A girl fell in love over the weekend.
The guy really did sound amazing, but the thing that struck me the most was that he wasn’t doing anything that remarkable. Rare, but not remarkable.
The guy’s an actor (in New York of all places.) - The thing about [...]
Grow Up (2)
When I was in college, I skipped a lot of class.
I used to rationalize it by saying to myself I was busy with other things. I was running a couple student groups, I was coaching football, I was working a job, I was spending a lot of time at the local bookstore reading marketing books. [...]

It’s a little embarassing when people ask me what my fiance and I talk about when we’re alone. Embarassing because the conversations usually go something like this:
Person 1: What kind of tree is that?
Person 2: You’re a tree.
Person 1: You’re a leaf.
Person 2: You’re a fig.
Person 1: You’re a newton.
Person 2: You’re an apple.
Person 1: [...]
two hundred posts. (1)
It’s been nearly three years since I started writing. It’s amazing what a person learns…
I learned for the first time what mourning meant when I lost someone very close to my heart - my childhood beagle, Lucy. I learned that though they may not have complex brains…or skills marketable in the professional workplace…or refined table [...]
A great man (3)
Manhood is a diffiult thing to accomplish.
In the past few weeks, I’ve had a number of female friends talk with me at length about their difficulty in ‘finding a good man.’ Indeed, this seems to be something that plagues most women I’ve met (other than the ones I’ve dated, of course.) On occasion I’ve heard [...]
Life, love, and the pursuit of being clever (3)
I saw Capote last night. Pretty disturbing film.
It made me think back to when I was doing my best writing, my most vigorous thinking. It was at a time in my life when I was most unhappy. My business was struggling, my relationship of 4 years had come to an end…it was a pretty unhappy [...]
