The video from my last post about being more active/proactive in my life has been rattling around in my head ever since I recorded it in Shanghai. For one, that concept of being proactive really locked into something I had been feeling for a while without expressing as well as I could – namely, that [...]

I got back into the good ol’ U. S. of A. yesterday evening after spending a nice chunk of the week in Shanghai, China. It’s my second trip to China and first time Shanghai, a city which a friend of mine described as “China’s Paris”. Now, while I didn’t get to see anything in the [...]
Are you ready for a small slice of truth to close out your Thursday evening? Good. Me too. It’s hard to have original ideas when you are surrounded by people who all have the same experiences as you. – Jonathan Harris And there we have it. If you are anything like me, you want to [...]
I’ve never seen the movie “Network“, but I’ve seen the pivotal scene from the film more than a few times and I was drawn to finding it today on YouTube. If you’ve never seen it, here it is: But what was it that brought me to this? This is seemingly the 3rd post that jumps [...]

Choking On Our Own Rage
Mar 26
Human beings are some fairly opinionated critters. I don’t think you need to check out a documentary on National Geographic to figure out that piece of wisdom, but that also doesn’t make it any less true.
