Things I’ve seen online since the news came out about Robin Williams (and any other famous person that has taken their life in the era of the internet): Fuck Robin Williams, he took the coward’s way out. He had all that money so how could this even happen. The media goes nuts … [Read more...]
I’m Doing The Best I Can
Note: I wrote this about a year ago. People say “I’m doing the best I can” all the time. But are they really? Am I? I doubt it. We don’t live in a world where people “do the best they can”. We live in a world where we try to “get by” and if that means short changing something we … [Read more...]
8 Reasons Why I Don’t Do Gifts
I stopped getting things for people on their birthday a while back…as in at least a couple of years if not longer. Come to think of it I haven’t done Christmas presents for people either…not even my wife. My only exception is young kids, I dig doing things for them. Here are … [Read more...]
Experimenting With Habits
I had used an alarm clock since I was back in elementary school but about 2 to 2.5 years ago I just stopped using it. Typically I would wake up a few minutes (or a lot of minutes) before the buzzer would go off anyways but for some reason I had never been willing to part with it. … [Read more...]
First World Problems: Bad Logos
In light of the recent Yahoo logo “issue” I thought I’d add my two cents. My first reaction is that those who got upset or felt cheated by the new design should really reevaluate their lives…after all, it is just a logo. A logo is not a person, it’s not a war in Syria, nor is … [Read more...]

The Cost of Free
Are you doing more things for free nowadays? I know I am. I give free estimates for my painting company. That means someone calls me and I talk to them for free. I drive to their house for free. I spend 20 minutes to an hour with them for free. I drive back home for free. I … [Read more...]
Contrast
One of the things I’ve noticed recently is that if you drop a comment like “I love my freedoms and all the opportunities there are out there”, you will typically get one of two reactions. 1) Are you stupid, you have no freedoms and neither do I…and what opportunities? There … [Read more...]
Motivation
I spend a lot of my time on the internet. That consists of social media, reading blogs and online news, researching, and writing. I’ve noticed, as with everything, some people are super critical. With respect to motivation, being motivational, inspiration, and being … [Read more...]
No
I have tried to implement "saying no" more often in my life and it never went very well. It didn’t go well because I couldn’t follow through. The reasons behind why it didn’t go well have something to do with wanting to be helpful, being afraid to say no, and at times thinking … [Read more...]
