Free Lunch (Comments)
With the wedding and my upcoming move to Chicago, I’ve been worried a lot about money lately. This week I resolved to not spend any money eating out.
This afternoon, as I was sitting in a Starbucks, I realized that I hadn’t eaten anything all day. A few minutes after I realized I was pretty hungry, [...]

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 (Comments)
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 (Comments)
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 [...]
Lazy Sunday (Comments)
Every few weeks I get reminded that I work too much. I have a day like today, a day spent at the house watching Walk The Line, eating and being unproductive…and it noticably upsets me. I like to work, and when I don’t I feel as though I’m wasting time.
What is that?
I believe strongly that [...]
Wine, cheese and entrepreneurship (Comments)
Had a great dinner last night with some good friends at work, and the discussion turned to my love for entrepreneurship. Why do I think that it’s such a noble and worthwhile endeavor? Why do I believe in it so much? When you see all the ills that are brought upon the world by a [...]
Makes you want to be an Athiest (Comments)
For all my character flaws, I feel as though I’m generally a pretty good natured guy. But these past few weeks I’ve been extremely angry.
The majority of clients we work with are fantastic – good natured, easy going, and excited to be collectively striving to acheive a shared goal. But once in a while you [...]
How to have a successful relationship (Comments)
I have plenty of theories about what makes a relationship work and what doesn’t (in college, I wrote a book on the subject and sold it to guys for $50 on the Internet. Sold nine copies…I think my mom still keeps them in her basement.)
But if I had to say there was one rule that [...]
Bono’s a wise man… (Comments)
One of the more interesting reads I’ve had in a while. Thanks Julie…
Burning your business into the ground – Part 1 (Comments)
A little over a year ago, I burned a business into the ground.
People tend to look at me funny when I talk about failing in business. They seem to still believe what we’re all taught in school – that failing in work or in a relationship or in a business means that the person failing [...]
