Reflections of Sadness, Elation, Hope & Regret – Happy Birthday, Mom: I Miss You Terribly

December 23, 2016

In the midst of the typical holiday cheer and excitement, at a time when everyone surrounding me is lit up with positive vibes and kindness, I find myself riding a roller coaster of peaking and plummeting emotion; teetering from positive, heart-warming memories one moment to tear-induced recollections of times no longer within my grasp, all … More Reflections of Sadness, Elation, Hope & Regret – Happy Birthday, Mom: I Miss You Terribly

Time is Our Most Valuable Asset

December 22, 2016

I spent six years in business after college. Mostly as an insurance producer, but I dabbled in some other things and even owned my own for awhile there. Anyone who has a similar background (or frankly anyone in sales or marketing in any industry) is well aware of the enormous number of seminars, workshops, books, … More Time is Our Most Valuable Asset

Good & Evil: Chapter 1

December 22, 2016

I can’t believe this is actually happening! Well, sort of. Sometimes it feels like I’ve been waiting for ages, but tonight…well, tonight is just filled with excitement! Father says I’m sure to go Right, which makes sense because Mother did too. He told me when she went through the Filing that she was ninety seven … More Good & Evil: Chapter 1

Good & Evil: Chapter 3

December 21, 2016

It happened! Just like Father said, I was Filed Right! And sure enough, my purity score was in the 80s…but so what?! I went Right! Oh this truly is the best feeling ever. Now I must wait and see if Mikal will be joining me. He has to! He’s one of the purest boys in … More Good & Evil: Chapter 3

Modern Philosophy

December 16, 2016

I’ve been thinking. This morning I was reading (The Prince by Machiavelli) and something occurred to me. Philosophers are perhaps the most important individuals in human society. I know that a really broad statement, since technically anyone can be a “philosopher” if they have their own unique view of the world. Still though, look back … More Modern Philosophy

Some Thoughts

December 14, 2016

It’s been awhile since I’ve written about social things, what with all this poetry business and so on. But I just finished watching a really interesting documentary on Vice called “A House Divided”. It basically went over the Obama presidency and how he did and didn’t accomplish things he planned on accomplishing back in ’08 … More Some Thoughts

The Pursuit of Happiness

November 20, 2016

The title of this post is one with which we’re all familiar. After all, that’s what life is about, right? We work, we grind, we sacrifice, and we compromise – all with the intention of reaching a point where we can sit back, relax, and say “it was all worth it.” But do we ever … More The Pursuit of Happiness

MVCs – What is the Most Valuable Characteristic You Look For?

November 17, 2016

When I was a child, I never would have thought this way – but after studying economics and corporate strategy in college, I learned that (as odd it it might sound) there are actual methods of “quantifying” human beings. That’s right – legitimate methods exist which essentially break a person’s personality, monetary worth, and other … More MVCs – What is the Most Valuable Characteristic You Look For?

Well, This is Going to be Interesting

November 9, 2016

Relief. Fear. Excitement. Disappointment. Intrigue. Just when we thought we’d reached a boiling point, emotions (and with them, tensions) are at an all-time high in this country of ours. The entire world looks to us as it wonders what we will do next as a nation which has historically set the example of how industrialized … More Well, This is Going to be Interesting

Choices

November 8, 2016

Life can seem like many different things at various points throughout our journey. Oftentimes we view it as a randomized collection of chaotic events over which we have little to no control. Other times, when things seem to be going our way, life appears to be a beast that we have worked hard to tame; … More Choices
