Ten Years Sleepwalking (Comments)

It’s about time I started to care about something other than myself.

Shadow missions (Comments)

There are two kinds of missions in this world, and while both come from the same place, the results of each couldn’t be more different.

candle parties (Comments)

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 [...]

Accountability (Comments)

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 [...]

Please go see this movie (Comments)

It’s the complete antithesis of so many corporate environments. [...]

Simplicity (Comments)

Simplicity is a difficult thing to come by. We live fragmented, disjointed lives, always running from something, to something. We’re trying to get more and more done with less and less time. It’s an impossible race that leaves us tired, empty, drained. We as a society love to prize the man or woman who can [...]

Grow Up (Comments)

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 [...]

the invisible man (Comments)

I have always had a problem with trying to do big, important things. It’s not a problem in that it often works – for whatever reason, many projects I’ve undertaken have been successful for just this reason. But it’s a problem because I’m often closing a door to the mundane as a result. We as [...]
