After reading this blog post by Seth Godin it got me thinking about my experiences when people and free shit meet. I’ve seen people at the Farmer’s markets (as Seth points out in his post), at Costco, and even at Chamber of Commerce Mixer’s…and to be honest, I view it less from … [Read more...]
The choices people make…or don’t
Yesterday I wrote about that bogus line “we don’t have a choice” and how absolutely inaccurate that is. We all have choices every single second of every single day (people, businesses, and governments all have choices). If you choose to sit and be the victim than that is your … [Read more...]
Where oh where have you been?
I have not posted at all recently and I’m sure it’s for many reasons but the one I feel the most is simply that I’ve had a lot of other stuff going on. My “other” business has been picking up steam, I’m now helping a few companies with their social media engagement and also … [Read more...]
Fighting for things we don’t believe in
It’s interesting as we careen down the freeway of life that we have this insatiable need to box everything up with pretty labels and thump creativity in the process. To be honest, it pisses me the ______ (insert swearing) off. Let’s take the example of politics in … [Read more...]
The comfort zone that’s killing you
Earlier this week I was thinking a lot about the times that I feel inadequate or inferior…I thought enough about it to pose a question on my blog about it. After having some time to think about that whole internal versus external thing, I’ve come to the conclusion that this too … [Read more...]

Hey Lady, Happy Valentine’s Day
I don't love my wife one day per year nor do I show her that I care about her just one day per year. This is one of those manmade days for companies to capitalize on so I will bypass all the bells and whistles and resort to my feelings and simplicity. That being said, a short … [Read more...]
Your Life: Customized Vs. Default
Why is it we often avoid the urges that we should be indulging, but end up instead succumbing to the urges that only get us in trouble? We hear stories all the time about people not having the strength to overcome urges to do drugs, drink themselves to death, or cheat on their … [Read more...]
An Adventure of Experiments
I was struck by this post on Man Vs. Debt and he was inspired to write it based on this post at The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau. I don’t often write posts based on other things I’ve read but this hit me because it helped put words to things I’ve been thinking about … [Read more...]
