Now the [...]

Routine a: a regular course of procedure b: habitual or mechanical performance of an established procedure <the routine of factory work> I wonder, is having a routine really the way to be most productive…? Over the last month I’ve been in a training program that allowed for very little routine. The norm was 12-14 hrs [...]

The code was this: “That out of fairness to all teams involved in a championship competition, any team opposing one of them shall extend itself to the fullest.” A [...]

Debt is a interesting thing. Ownership is a great thing. Today I purchased my first car, a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder, and put myself in some serious debt. However, it doesn’t upset me at all. Even though I locked myself to “the man“ for roughly 60 months, ownership is awesome. Ownership gives you a sense of [...]

This city (NYC) truly is a great example of what we as humans are capable of accomplishing. There are dreams walking these streets. There are dreamers walking these streets.  New York City is truly an incubator for hopes and dreams.  The “American Dream” as cliche as it may sound thrives in New York City.  The [...]

So, looking back at the Homecoming weekend, it was pretty much perfect.  Had the opportunity to see some bro’s that I’d not seen a quite some time, didn’t think about work for a second, and for a minute or two there I really thought I was back in college. Everything that I went there to [...]

  Yesterday was Blog Action Day.  An organized effort by over 15,000 bloggers to discuss different ways to give back to Mother Earth.  It was a day to post  something related to giving back to the environment and being “green”.  Obviously, I missed it.  I was a day late but I’m still going to try and make [...]
