  • Your Heroes

    Your Heroes

    I have written about how every single experience and relationship in your past has shaped you.  You are the sum total of al of that.  There is not such thing as an insignificant event or experience in your past.  Every relationship leaves a mark. Having a Heroes also has an…

  • Give Up Your Teenage Years – the John Salley Lesson

    Give Up Your Teenage Years – the John Salley Lesson

    I – I wish I was a little bit taller – I wish I was a baller I wish I had a girl who looked good I would call her I wish I had a rabbit in a bat with a hat and a ’64 Impala   You might know…

  • 25.2%

    I’m .2% from being normal – according to the BMI anyway.

  • 25.9%

    25.9%

    I have been tracking my BMI. August 22nd it was 26.2%. August 8th, it was 26.9%. July 9th, it was 28.1%. The BMI says that I’m still overweight, and yet again, I am not going to let the BMI determine my identity.  I am going to get healthy though, and…

  • Sit Outside

    Sit Outside

    I’ve had lots of time lately to Sit Outside.  It’s been so nice.  My office at work doesn’t have windows to see the outside world.  I can be in there for hours at a time and not see the outside.  It’s really nice to just sit outside.  There’s something about…

  • The Willpower Muscle

    The Willpower Muscle

    So I heard this idea awhile back. Have you ever thought about the Willpower Muscle or have you even thought about your willpower lately? Just like all of your muscles, we all need a willpower workout – maybe that should’ve been the title for this post. We all need to…

  • 26.2%

    26.2%

    So July 9th, I wrote a post called 28.1%.  It was post about the BMI and how it’s a horrible measure for identity.  We shouldn’t pay attention to someone calling you overweight.  Then I did a follow up post called 26.9%, August 8th.  This one is called 26.2% The first…

  • The First Time You Try Out a Sushi Restaurant

    The First Time You Try Out a Sushi Restaurant

    ….is one of the most adventurous and terrifying (at least for me) experience for me.  There are places that I love to go to.  Places where I know the chef.  Places where I know the menu and they know my name – kinda like Cheers.  You never know what you’re…

  • Being Digital

    Being Digital

    It is a reality for many of us today.  We definitely live digital lives.  Even my 3 year old niece is starting to develop her digital presence.  She is a digital native and can navigate her way through anyone’s iphone and find the things that she wants to find –…

  • People that Give You Energy

    People that Give You Energy

    I heard this line today.  I’ve also been reading about it – this connectedness that is possible with people – even on a sub-conscious level.  Very interesting. I like the idea of people that give me energy.  Selfishly, I like it when I am energized.  It’s great when you hang…

  • Just Because You Are Told Once or Twice

    Just Because You Are Told Once or Twice

    …..doesn’t mean that you’ll get it. Sometimes you have to be told three or four or many times.  Some of us just don’t have the brain development to get it the first time.  It’s just simple chemistry.  No matter how frustrated you might get at someone – sometimes, it’s not…

  • Painful Memories

    Painful Memories

    Memories are a wonderful thing. Sometimes though memories can be so bad that we don’t pay any attention to them.  I’ve been reading about memories.  I have a few posts coming up about memories.  It’s really a fascinating thing.  I wonder if there are any studies out there that have…
