Yesterday was Friday the 13th, and it definitely lived up to its expectations. All I envisioned was a nice stop in Chicago for lunch, but life always gives you more. 1. At the Howard L station, I ran into a friend who I had rode the L with four times in the past week, so [...]

Happiness Is A Battlefield
August 7, 2010 – 11:30 pm
Happiness is battling your own demons and knowing that you have the upper edge. There will always be superheroes because there will always be villains. Your personal demons will never leave you (drinking, smoking, procrastinating, being selfish, etc.), they will always be present. But it is up to you to decide how present they will [...]
The impossible is happening…

I will not be buying an iPhone 4. Yes, Mike McGee, the Apple fanboy of all Apple fanboys, will not be buying a new iPhone. As I was taking this picture to use in my blog post, I actually couldn’t believe I was voluntarily deciding not to buy it. I mean just look at this [...]
Adversity to Happiness
July 25, 2010 – 9:17 am
My framework in life consists of two things: 1. If you have opportunity to do what you set out to do, do it. 2. If you do all the things you say will do, it will help you deal with external forces that you can’t control. Now this seems pretty simple, you just focus on [...]
Hey Procrastination! You're not cool!
July 16, 2010 – 9:44 pm
Slightly hypocritical preface: Yeah I know I said I would have a new design up for this blog, but that was obviously wasn’t the smartest deadline. I have typed about 1,000 lines of HTML and CSS, but still have a ways to go. Feel free to judge me throughout this post. I’ll keep posting. You’re [...]
Point of No Return
July 11, 2010 – 6:32 pm
Preface: As you can see, my blog looks a little… plain. I could just go and download one of the thousands of wordpress themes while I am working on my own design, but I view that as the easy way out. If I do that, I am more tempted to push off finishing my design [...]
The Layers of Happiness
July 4, 2010 – 12:52 am
Complexity Healthcare. Rocket science. HIV/AIDS. Super computers. Magnets. For many of us, these areas represent some level of complexity that we are unable to explain because we feel that we are not intelligent enough. We often just cast off issues we can’t easily explain by saying, “oh it’s too complex” or “I don’t understand so [...]
Happiness is Moving Forward
June 26, 2010 – 11:54 pm
We all have major goals in life. There are people who want to lose a specific number of pounds to fit into that suit or dress they used to wear. Some of us want to create the next Fortune 500 company and be the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. Others want to live an [...]
Whoa.
June 20, 2010 – 6:34 pm
With each weekly post, I have tried to be as insightful as possible. This mission usually results in a long 1,000+ word post reaching some sort of conclusion. Not today. For the past five hours I have tried to encapsulate what I have experienced over the past few days and the past four years into [...]
Learning My Way To Happiness
June 13, 2010 – 2:40 am
Monday, June 7th. 7:15pm. Sitting in the Norbucks Lounge of Norris University Center. With an evil smile forms on my face. Why? Because at that moment, I realized that I was finished with classes… hopefully for the rest of my life. I happily looked around at all the other Northwestern students typing away at papers, [...]
