Today, I had the interesting opportunity to speak with my younger brother, Joshua. You can read a bit more about him in the “My family” section of this site. Josh is 11 years old, and doing his very best to grow up as a strong man without the aid of having a living father. As […]
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.

However, I wanted to see if […]
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 […]
Perspective is everything. Perception is reality. And sometimes the reality you are in is not perfect. That being said, you must ask yourself whether or not it is possible to position yourself to a new reality worth living in. 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 […]
