  • Perceptions and Conformity

    I have never been one to conform to what people think I should be.  If I believe in something, I will stand up for what I believe in.  It does not mean I am always right.  On the other hand, I will do things to go against what people perceive I should be.  Just because…

  • Not Really Progress

    I have been driving the Camaro the last several days, and I realized how progress has made driving boring.  I think it is sacrilege to drive a sports car in anything but a manual transmission.  Driving this 6-speed manual is thoroughly entertaining, and I enjoy every minute of it.  It is difficult to find a…

  • WTF Just Happened?!

    Last night, I was working the concession stand for my son’s football practice.  It is something every parent is supposed to do.  It was my first night working it, and I had absolutely no idea what the hell I was doing.  Ten minutes before I opened up, I was already behind with a line.  I had…

  • More Editing and New Book

    I should have the second-to-last editing done this week.  After that, it is one last grammatical edit, and I’m ready to publish.  I hate it when people use poor grammar, but typing 100 words per minute with spell checker auto correcting things can lead to some interesting grammar mistakes.  When typing fast, I tend to…

  • Do What You Love

    Many have heard this saying (or variation): “If you love what you do (or do what you love), you’ll never work a day in your life.”  That is all fine and dandy assuming you can make money doing it.  What happens when you used to love something, but now you’re burnt out or it just…

  • F* You, Rain!

    It is hard to use distractions when it is raining outside.  I spent all day driving my new Camaro yesterday.  The thrill of a 6-speed manual on a country road (paved, of course) is addicting and relaxing, thrilling yet calming.  Now, it is raining.  What the hell, Mother Nature?!  Just because you want your precious…

  • Distractions

    There are many distractions in life.  Some are brought to us by no means of our own.  Others, we seek out in order to prevent us from acknowledging something we would rather leave alone.  I bought a Camaro today.  There are a few reasons for doing so.  Some are good.  Some are not.  I have…

  • Slow Going at Lightning Speed

    I knew this week would bring a virtual halt to “The Amanai Deception” being published.  With school, kids, the day job, football practice, and many other factors, I have not had any time to do anything I really wanted to do.  The real kicker is how fast this week has passed.  It seems like it…

  • Withdrawals

    We can do many things over a period of time that our bodies get used to it.  The most common examples are drugs and alcohol.  Caffeine in coffee is technically a drug.  I drink coffee every day.  My body has become used to that caffeine.  When I stop drinking it, my body becomes angry.  The…

  • Impulse Decisions

    There are many people who make many impulse decisions: tattoos, cars, quitting their jobs, etc.  There are others who refuse to make decisions.  They will ride the fence as long as they can, perhaps, fearful of offending someone or making the wrong decision.  I know a few who will flowchart their decision process and analyze…
