> Until one is committed there is a hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favour all manner of unforeseen incide...

Mind Bombs- The Need For Self-Renewal
> Had I not been subject to the darkness, I could not have seen the light. — Midrash (translated from Hebrew) Every now and then, I feel the need to expand on my level of knowledge or experiences to create a change in myself, whether major or minor. The easiest way for me to do this is by reading an article, blog, or book that I normally wouldn’t find myself reading, but I also enjoy going somewhere that I haven’t been yet. When I do this, I set off a mind bomb and become more aware of myself...
Turn Up That F'ing Bass! - 32 Years Old Today
11/11/11, otherwise known as my 32nd birthday. I always lived with the belief that life didn’t really begin until you turn 30, but I didn’t realize how true that actually was until I had turned 30 myself. It seems as though people spend their 20’s mainly figuring out who they are, and where they want to go, without actually getting that far down that path. Of course, there are exceptions out there, but I am not one of them. My 20’s were spent going up a hill, stopping, then deciding I wanted t...

Cotton Candy Cuddled - Inspired by @Fighter_Diet
> A great friend tells you to keep working hard. A great friend does not tell you to, “Take it easy and don’t be so hard on yourself.” We grow from pushing our limits, not from being cotton candy cuddled. Pauline Nordin [http://www.facebook.com/FDfighterdiet/posts/10150262669479209], Fighter Diet [http://www.fighterdiet.com/] I follow Pauline Nordin on Facebook for a few reasons: 1. She’s pretty darn funny with some of her comments about her fellow gym users. 2. She gives some prett...
The Paleo Revolution - 100th Post @ Four Sides
Almost one year to the day, I started blogging again. I had gone through several different versions of blogs trying to discover myself. There have been so many that I can’t even remember all the addresses and whether the content is still alive on the sites or not. The one before this site, Isolation [http://isolation.wordpress.com], is still alive. It is a dormant vegetable of a blog at this point though. Another, Macbethproject [http://macbethproject.blogspot.com/] awaits me to find some time/e...
Weathering the Storm - A Story of Moving On
Play the video, then read on: Since my (ex)-girlfriend left me over a week ago, I have found myself with a lot more time to do whatever I want. A good portion of that time has been thinking. I can’t say specifically what I have been contemplating, because at this point in my life, my mind is wandering a lot. What I can tell you is that thinking has helped me sort everything out for the better. There have been multiple times before where I wanted to sit down and write out my thoughts, to resp...
Merlin Mann - Scared Shitless
> You can be scared and still do it anyway. Regardless of whatever it is. — Merlin Mann Merlin Mann [http://www.merlinmann.com] gave a talk at Webstock [http://www.webstock.org.nz/] in Wellington, New Zealand in February that has been sweeping around the blogosphere in various ways. It was titled “Scared Shitless [http://www.43folders.com/2011/03/28/scared-shitless].” I first heard about it during his excellent podcast with Dan Benjamin, Back to Work [http://5by5.tv/b2w/6], but couldn’t fin...
The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau
Let me start by saying that this is not a formal book review, but more of a discussion of the book. Another Harajuku Moment I believe that the world tells you a message by having certain people or ideas pop up in groups of three. If I come across a certain concept on several different websites or books, that’s a clear message to me that I should probably write about it and share it with others who may not have come across it yet. Over the weekend, several things aligned that could not have been...
