Nana.

Today’s a day that I’ve been dreading for a while… my Nana finally passed away. It’s been a mix of emotions this morning since reading a Facebook comment (yes, I found out via a public comment from my Great Aunt on one of my pictures from Indonesia) and a follow-up email.   How do I […]

Views from a man in the 3?

I guess I’m going to have to change my blog name – I’m moving to LA. Scared. Excited. Nervous. Curious. Anxious. Ready – these are a few of the 1,000 feelings running through my head at the time of this writing (and basically every day since I accepted the new role). I’ve always had an inkling to […]

The Illusion of Infinity

So the title may be a bit misleading, but trust me that this is not a blog about math. Please continue to read on without being worried about having to dig up your high school calculus skills. A growing trend that I’ve noticed with how society functions in 2016 is this idea that we are living in […]

Closing Out 2015.

I had originally thought that I wanted to cover a variety of topics for this year’s blog posts… but the more I thought about it, the more I figured I should keep things concise. If there is one thing that I have learned this year – it’s that sometimes less is more. Don’t get me […]

Another Year.

2015 – The year I had hoped would be radically different from 2014. In some ways it was, in some ways it wasn’t. As I approach my 26th spin around the sun (as my good friend Nate used to say), I wanted to take a look back and discuss a few things that I haven’t […]

Broadening Your Horizons

So the title may be pretty vague… what am I referring to exactly? What should you be broadening? In short – anything and everything that you have the chance to. I have to admit that I have lived a pretty sheltered life, and as a result that has made me somewhat narrow sighted. At one […]

A Tricky Concept Called Independence

So I was going to start this post off with the definition of Independence… but it keeps redirecting me back to the word Independent. Let’s go with that then, according to Merriam-Webster: Independent – not requiring or relying on something else adjective – in·de·pen·dent For a long time, I thought I was pretty independent due to the nature […]

A letter to my younger self

Let’s just get this out of the way now: things don’t get easier. You currently spend your days going to school, eating junk food, and then coming home to watch Pokemon. Sometimes you make things interesting by adding in some gaming to your TV sessions. You don’t have a care in the world and your biggest […]

Concluding 2014

I did have a third category of discussing things that I’ve learned from being in an advertising career for the last three years, but as I am currently an active job seeker – I will refrain from any comments that could be misconstrued at the moment. I will definitely touch on this topic eventually! In […]

25 Years Young (Old?)

Saturday will mark my 25th year of entering and contributing (I’d like to think so, but this is sometimes questionable) to this planet we call Earth. While a lot has happened in 25 years, it was 2014 that was probably the biggest eye opener for me for a few reasons. What I am about to […]
