N'awlins is a curious beast in the daylight... the morning after. The whole of Bourbon simultaneously does the walk of shame. The veil of darkness and alluring neon lights is lifted to reveal a decrepit cesspool of rotting buildings and potholed streets littered with broken beads and shame. If the actual "walk of shame" had a... Continue Reading →
Wanna Get Away?
Yes. Yes I do. Away from this fricken plane. I never used to fear flying, at all. My parents separated when I was in grade school so I flew all over the country, every year, alone, to wherever Dad had moved. Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Dallas...multiple times...and never an issue. As a kid I sat alone... Continue Reading →
Does this decade make me look fat?
I don't know when it happened... the actual time and date or anything... I mean, I don't think you can expect anyone to ever pinpoint the exact moment their style ran out. It just sort of happens to some of us I guess. I USED to have style... or at least I thought I did.... Continue Reading →
No Love For The Treadmill
You can't outrun a fart on a treadmill. There's a myriad of reasons not to run on a treadmill, that being the least of them. I hate running on a treadmill. I even hate the word 'treadmill'. It sounds like some medieval torture device. Even Sisyphus would decline the maddening punishment of a treadmill. At least he... Continue Reading →
This is Jiu Jitsu
http://instagram.com/p/UFsJUGoomj Lunch time. A reprieve from the everyday realities of life. This is where I go to test myself... my mind, my body and my spirit. This is my laboratory. I bring what I have, throw it all out there on the mats, and see what sticks. Some things I keep. Some things I don't.... Continue Reading →
And the journey begins…again…
It all began with NYC... my office travel Facebook Posts that is. They began harmless enough, by sharing a simple photo, no text. Guess I figured the image spoke for itself. With each successive post I felt the need to detail my exploits further. I've decided to chronicle my wanderings here to create a legacy... Continue Reading →
Please, Don’t Think and Drive
So I was thinking and driving. I don't know what the big deal is, I do it all the time. It's true, I do get distracted by all the drama and pretty lights created in my alternate universe, but I believe thinking and driving just takes practice. It's not for everybody, granted, but I don't... Continue Reading →
Too Many Mind
I have to admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed by this blog challenge thingy. I shouldn't be. I just over think things. I'm a man of many thoughts and very few actions. I think, therefore I think some more. By the time I'm ready to act I've generally moved on to another thought, or have completely... Continue Reading →
New Year’s Promise
I don't make New Year's resolutions. There's always going to be somewhere to improve; some circumstance to better; some fat to lose. January 1, 2013 was no different in that regard. But for the first time for as far back as I can remember, this New Year's has stirred inside me a curious sense of... Continue Reading →
