Arbitrary Madness. Artistic Exploration. Dope Things.
One of my least favorite qualities in myself is my inability to make decisions. It’s not that there isn’t value in being careful about what you decide on, but the problem is, there’s a certain amount of stress involved with wavering between two points. Or three or four. When you decide everything else is tenContinue Reading “To do or not to do.”
They say you only retain about 25% of what you’re taught. If you’re lucky though, the crap you retain will actually be meaningful in your life. I got lucky at least once in my professional development life, and I’m here to tell you all about it. Once upon a time I attended a project managementContinue Reading “Eat that frog.”
Disclaimer: This post was written at two completely different times of day and under two different mindsets. AM: Why I workout. I don’t feel like the same person when I miss a workout. I feel incomplete, depressed even. My workout is like waking up on the right side of the bed. It’s how I get myContinue Reading “Why I…”
What is true love anyways? I feel like Carrie Bradshaw just typing this out loud, but I can’t help it. I’ve asked my mom, I’ve asked my cousin, I’ve asked my friends. Their response is always a pause. And a pondering face, like they wish they could give me the answer, but they’ve been askingContinue Reading “Love galore.”
The other morning while in the shower – where I do all my best thinking – I thought about what my Rich Dad, Poor Dad story was. What created a duality in my identity? The answer for me was pretty easy, being raised by my Suburban Mom, while spending weekends with my Cleveland Dad. IContinue Reading “Cleveland Dad, Suburban Mom (my version of Rich Dad, Poor Dad).”
Today I was struggling to think of what to write. I thought my life had suddenly become dull and boring, but it turns out I just didn’t want to say what was actually on my mind. I wanted to shove my thoughts into a pocket deep, deep, deep in the back of my mind. NowContinue Reading “Real talk.”
“I don’t want to be treated as your equal. I want to be treated a lot better than you.” Blanche Devereaux made me sit up when she said these words. No, I wasn’t up in arms, I was in full agreement. What felt wrong and contradictory to say, was said plainly. Suddenly, I felt itContinue Reading “The modern woman according to Blanche Devereaux. (Season 7, Episode 16)”
Here’s something you may not know about me–I love music like crazy. I love music so much I got it tatted on me in kanji (because ‘music’ doesn’t look as pretty in English). If I wasn’t so shy, I might have attempted to become a singer, but I am, so you could only catch meContinue Reading “Music City.”
Be blessed. Enjoy your family. Cook out or go to a baseball game. Whatever you do today, make memories, because the ‘man’ doesn’t like giving out free days and this is one of few. 😛
I always tell people that the first time I encountered The Golden Girls was in the TV guide portion of the Friday Plain Dealer. That’s just wild to even think about. I was maybe ten or eleven looking for something fun to watch. How was I supposed to know that golden implied elderly, and notContinue Reading “Why I love The Golden Girls.”
