clearing logs from the river, only to miss the dam (View Comments)
I’m often told (by folks that read this) that I’m too hard on myself. And for years I’ve countered that internally with the thought that I’m probably not hard enough. But maybe everyone’s right and I’m wrong. I’ve written ad nauseum about my problems, my shortcomings, my character flaws, my imperfections. I’ve publicly berated myself [...]
Accountability (View 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 [...]
Villains (View Comments)
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 [...]

Makes you want to be an Athiest (View 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 [...]
How to have a successful relationship (View 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 [...]
