(originally written on 08/05/2010) McFearless The day I left home I yelled over my shoulder “One day I’ll be skilled and successful you’ll see!! When that day comes you’ll wish you really knew me.” All the times that I’ve struggled and fallen I’ve gotten back up and marched forward again. Every time I do I…
The 6th reason why I write
Sometimes it just really feels like nobody is listening. Do you feel it too? That feeling when you’re talking to somebody, but they’re just waiting for their turn to speak? When you’re conveying an idea but you can just see from the outset that their mind is made up, that there is no moving them?…
YOU, and everyone else, ARE FREE
A message mainly addressed to Americans, though also applicable to everyone else: It has come to my attention that there are too many people encapsulated in their lives.

Now, I am not writing/speaking on the matter to say that this is not the case. As…
So I just got an 8mo puppy!
Within the first week he has already managed to teach me something valuable. We’re staying at a hotel in Paris, KY with a couple of my best friends. The beds are pretty exceptionally tall and he is a small on the very edge of becoming a medium dog 20lb Chiweenie, so short legs. I was…
