One of my favorite movies is “About A Boy” for various reasons. In many ways, it is a coming-of-age story for both the young child in the film and also for the grown up man. In many ways, I appreciated observing the man, because I found a great many similarities between his character and my […]
In light of the fact that life never slows down as we grow older, I’m realizing it tends to be grouped together in chapter-book format as we look back on past memories. After seeing many of these memories come together in a unique storybook format, it leads me to wonder what the next few chapters […]
My younger brother, Mark, once proclaimed – as a child, mind you – “I’m invincible. There’s nothing you can do to hurt me.” and he went on to explain his statement; immune from insults, unafraid of death, and not worried about injury, he truly was/is invincible. Looking at his character, it’s hard to not be […]
On my trip from Ohio to California, I’ll have to admit that I did a rather bad thing. Perhaps it wasn’t the brightest thing in the world, but it seemed like a terrific idea at the time. While driving on the highway, I noticed a billboard that stated “When you die, you’re going to meet […]
After a successful trip from Ohio to California, I can’t help but feel a bit refreshed, recharged, and ready to hit work harder than ever. Being that it was a cross country road trip, I couldn’t help but wonder whether or not there would be any type of ‘spiritual experience’ that would happen, given the […]

If you don’t like the way your life is going, it can be the scariest (or […]
“A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.” In a short moment, Mark came and went. It seems as if the time has quickly been evacuated between the moment of his 2am CMH arrival and finally seeing him wave goodbye. I could write of […]
“Satisfaction is the death of desire” remains one of the life lessons that I’ve found to be quite true. In this sense, I must confess that I’ve found it to be true — with a catch; I’ve personally found it to be true, but do not feel that the statement is all-encompassing or immune to […]
Every time I open up the blogging app on my iPad, I’m reminded of a previous blog I wrote where I stated “Dr. Seuss remains one of my favorite authors…” and it always provokes some memory of a phrase or picture he drew in one of his books. One of the things I’d like to […]
We live in a world where it’s somewhat difficult to identify what it means to be a man. However, one of the most pathetic forms of life on this earth is the individual who feels the need to physically beat a woman in order to feel like a man – or simply the one who […]
