I still haven’t figured out what victory smells like. Probably something gross like dirt and sweat. But, the taste of victory? Well, it’s a mix of cherries and peanut butter with a hint of nutty chocolate. Today’s victory was especially sweet as it has been nine long months coming. It’s been nine months of fighting. Nine […]
A Back Alley Friend is something I hope everyone has. If you’re really lucky, you have more than one. I have a lot of friends. I have a handful of best friends and I have two Back Alley Friends. I learned about Back Alley Friends on the last month of my senior year of college. […]
I have a lot of rules. I also get a lot of shit for having them. My “always have an escape route” rule is usually a fan favorite. You’d think my “no sex on holidays” rule would be much more laughable, but apparently not. Personally, I think having an escape route is pretty damn practical. Escape […]
So you can get a cool widget and make it move! Because I don’t sync my runs with Nike+, mine just sits on its lazy ass and stretches Since Nike is apparently oh so smart for coming up with Nike+, you would think they’d make better sharing features. You know, like a Mini Me […]
I finally finished reading The Last Lecture. Emotionally, it was a tough book to read. But, among other things, it got me thinking a lot about “walls”. I’m good at breaking other people’s walls.

Ick, I dropped the ball today and pushed a little too hard. I hate when I do that. Coming from a competitive, athletic background, I like being pushed hard, really hard. Sometimes, I forget that not everyone likes to be challenged and pushed beyond their limits :/
I finally started packing this weekend. I hate packing. I hate unpacking even more. Surprisingly, packing provides several interesting lessons: 1. Realizing how many boxes your life fits into is quite the lesson in humility. Moreover, the fact that your whole life can fit into x amount of boxes, well that’s sobering too. 2. Packing […]
I finally re-formatted all my posts to where I’m satisfied enough to write my first “official” WordPress post. The formatting still isn’t perfect- I have two posts that I can’t figure out how to fix, all the posts with two or more pictures or videos still aren’t lining up and all the titles are in […]
Last night’s fortune cookie said, “Stop searching for forever, happiness is just next to you.” Somehow, the fortunes I get in cookies always seem to be really appropriate or really get me thinking. This one did both. In my business life, I’m a total risk-taking maverick. I’m constantly launching new initiatives and being the first […]
