  • What do you do when you know you’re going to die? : a dystopian existence

    I’ve never understood why people would want to live in a utopian society where everything is the same. I want to live a colorful existence, even if it means having an intimate awareness about the dystopic nature of what is actually going on around me.

  • Protect your intellectual property: creativity as wealth

    Recently, I’ve learned that just because you show something all the love and loyalty that you have doesn’t mean that that love will be reciprocated. Especially when it comes to corporate entities.

  • Experience as perspective: The Golden Rule at work

    Nobody likes bad surprises. Especially avoidable ones. Even moreso when that bad surprise impacts a vested interest. Nobody wants to be sold a false bill of goods. Thinking about the person on the other side of the interaction can assist with working towards common understandings. Managing Expectations Understanding and communicating the quirks and limitations of…

  • If a device tells you something, do you believe it?

    When I think about the reason for modern conflict in this world, I usually think about either land grabs or wars over race. At the same time, I’ve always known through my studies that some of the most ruthless battles in history have been fought over religion. Groups wish to flaunt their ideological supremacy over…

  • Live the life you want to live

    I’ve heard plenty of people say “life is what you make of it”. I feel like the same can be said about death. I’ve been to four funerals and felt very different at each one of them. How we remember those who have passed on is often a function of how we remembered them when…

  • Monday Update

    I messed up a couple of years ago. I am a selfish person in that I have a tendency to lock in on a decision before consulting those I love. I am quick triggered and I regularly act like I have nothing to lose. For most of my life, this has 100% been the case.…

  • Competition as Philosophy

    Everybody bleeds. Everybody dies. Life is a biathalon of bootlicking and one-uppery. Whoever inflicts the most pain onto others while retaining the least resistance rides high without regard to the lifeforce of the others. The human experience is a textbook example of inhumanity. I was raised by wolves and sharpened by the wisdom of generations…

  • Authentic Presence

    Every story has a backstory forged through experience, and everybody has their own story to tell. This attempts to detail how I intend on keeping my online presence as authentic to my character as I can. I always had a hard time determining my values and finding my purpose throughout my teens and twenties because…

  • Future Design

    1. Day in the Life Narrative This is an example of how I envision my life going in 2028. To preface, I fully anticipate having a remote career by then. My ideal day would start at 6:00 by waking up, taking a shower, and making coffee, followed by waking the girls up for school and…

  • Stories/Patterns

    Seven Career Stories 1. In college, I was part of the spirit band that played at basketball games. We got a gig before a New Orleans Hornets game sponsored by Zatarain’s. We provided much of the soundtrack for the folks walking in to the New Orleans arena that day. I was a trombonist, and there…
