Confirmation. Validation. Cancellation. Life. When I returned from Asia, I originally planned on there being some semblance of newfound peace and revelation at what I learned while being overseas. Last night, I lay in bed until dawn, eyes wide open, discovering that I have instead found a new definition of the term “lost”. Lacking answers […]
It’s hard to know where to start when it comes to sharing my thoughts on my trip to Laos; so many different things have been on my mind since arriving, I don’t know where to begin. “This song is dedicated to all the happy people, to all the happy people who have real nice lives […]
Reality check. One of my favorite movie scenes is a short clip from the movie The Hurt Locker where the main character says he’ll meet his wife “in the cereal aisle.” It then cuts to a shot of him, looking at the wide assortment of cereal. The stark contrast between his life as a soldier and […]
The holidays have arrived and I’m enjoying one of my favorite pastime activities; sitting in a mall with a good cup of coffee and watching the hustle and bustle of the crowds frunning frantically between stores. There’s a casual energy pulsing here at Easton Town Center, mixed with undertones of hostility between shoppers that nobody […]
It’s hard not to think about way life has drastically changed since I last sat in this couch, in this coffeeshop, in this city. It’s been nearly a year since I’ve sat down here as a Columbus, OH resident. And I have to say that life has changed quite drastically. “Exist in reality” my brother […]

In every belief system, there are foundational elements used to support the principles, practices, and architectural truth of said belief system. In simple english, this means that every belief system has a set of reasons that hold it together. In any game of logic or reasoning, it’s important to realize that facts cannot be altered […]
In every coming-of-age story behind a man, there are moments – often in the beginning of the journey – where times are much more difficult and trying than they appear to be later on in that mans journey of life. for the first time in awhile, it appears that a portion of these tribulations have […]
Drip. Sip. Ahh. Coffee may be one of my biggest vices. If that’s the case, I feel pretty good about the vice level in my life. December proves to be a historically bad month for me. The past four years haven’t been pleasant. And this is my attempt/resolve to change the record this year. There’s […]
If I had to describe the way the past few months have been, it would be hard to tell you exactly what happened. I’m reminded of the phrase from Alice In Wonderland…”I could tell you my adventures — beginning from this morning,’ said Alice a little timidly: ‘but it’s no use going back to yesterday, […]
