Good morning! Or rather, hope your sleep was well enough to get you going for the rest of your day. One thing I’ve been keeping track of very recently are my sleep levels, the amount of sleep I get, along with what times I actually sleep. Hopefully this is not like your sleep schedule.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to jump on a bus and go to Beantown. It was totally spur of the moment and I felt like I had a great time connecting with all of my Bostonian friends while I was up there. Many thanks to all who I had the chance to spend time with. My buddy Angel […]

I tend to hyperanalyze things. Hyper, in the sense that I have the tendency to extrapolate things out – not out of proportion, merely draw all the steps out in any given situation. This has its benefits – I can begin to tell you a few reasons why I don’t gamble in poker or blackjack, for example. It also has […]

This is a post inspired by thoughts on what people have been asking me ever since I’ve been “published” by several big name sites and authors. My Beginning As a Professional “Writer” My background with writing involved staying up for hours writing answers on a Question and Answer type of website called quora.com, in which everyday people would ask relatively […]

I’m going to die. Along with my death, I’m fearful that I won’t live a fulfilled and purposeful life. At some point in the near future (since time is relative), I’m going to die. I don’t look at the fact that I’m going to die as a fearful item, but rather a fact of life. “When exactly?” That is the […]

Prior to the internet, I can only recall watching old(er) kung fu and martial arts films, along with Only the Strong – capoeira’s entrance into the U.S. mainstream.
