Failed…
Wow, I failed to get to my point in my last post about inspiration. Maybe I was frustrated or too drunk to articulate my point effectively. Regardless, I failed at my mission. I mean, it was almost midnight, and I hardly ever stay up that late anymore. Let’s try this again… For me, inspiration to…

Inspiration
I am a firm believer that you cannot write about what you do not know. What’s the best way to know something? Experience it. Good, or bad, experience is the mother of all teachers. A good book, a good poem, and a good song cannot be written without someone going through some shit. The most…

Suicidal Ideation (Calm Down!)
First, calm down! No, I am not thinking about ending my own life; however, I have come to a closer understanding of why someone might. I have known people who have ended their own lives. Before, I could not even comprehend why someone would do such a selfish thing. Then, this hernia happened, and it…

A Fucking Hernia, Really?
Two nights ago, I was standing there pissing. I was a little drunk. I went to push the piss out and noticed a bulge protrude from my groin. What the fuck was that? I did it again, and there it was again! I thought it was either an alien trying to burst through my groin…

Motivation?
What motivates someone to do anything? It could be money, fame, peace, etc. Motivation can be good or evil. I would argue that motivation is a self-service thought/feeling. An obvious question is why are we motivated to do anything? That can be discussed, but I think we are motivated to do things that will eventually…

Perspectives
I probably have a dozen posts about perspectives. Here’s another one; deal with it! We have all heard the phrase, “it’s a matter of perspective.” We, however, rarely give it the thought it deserves. Even more rarely, someone comes along that forces us to challenge our perspectives. It could be a new friend, a stranger,…

Responsibilities + Laziness
In today’s world, no one wants to take responsibility for anything. Kids do not want to take responsibility for doing their own work. Presidents and leaders do not want to take responsibility for the aftermath of their decisions. What if the outcome is good? Sure, they’ll take the glory in those instances; however, during the…

Surrounded, but Alone
How can someone be surrounded by family and friends, yet feel so alone? It might happen more often than you think. I have had person experiences with this throughout my life, but I also know people suffering through the same thing. In my experience, it stems from people not being on the same page in…

Selfless vs Selfish
One thing I have learned recently is that if you are the only one being selfless, everyone else is selfish. What do I mean by that? In order to answer that, we have to understand the difference between selfless and selfish. Selfless people give everything they have without regard to repayment or receiving anything back.…

Face the Music
Music can be a very emotional tool. If you ever listened to vocal-only tracks of famous songs, you’ll quickly realize the person either cannot sing or the song has no substance. The instruments are just as important (if not more) than the vocals. The soundtracks to movies often help trigger fear, sadness, empathy, excitement, and…
