The “No Life” Pet Peeve

One of my biggest pet peeves in life is when a person tells another person that they have “no life.” Or when someone says “get a life.” Or when a group of people say one or both of these things. Or when you say it to yourself! Ok so you get my point. Bottom line: [...]

Stuff. Why?

Why do we have so much stuff? Stuff sucks. I’m just looking at all of the stuff in my room right now and it makes me mad. I don’t even have that much stuff but I still want to get it out of here. I think about all the extra clothes, wires, and other miscellanous [...]

I’m happy. I’m mad. I’m ready.

I’m happy I’m happy with my life right now. As I enter the fall, I am excited about what I have accomplished this summer. I did not do everything I wanted to do, I miss deadlines, and I pushed off certain things, but I have without a doubt become a better person. I’m happy that [...]

What Is Your Brick Wall?

Last month I finished a custom design for this blog and I was excited to get up in on Wordpress. The problem was I didn’t exactly know how to get it up on Wordpress. Another problem was that by the time I realized that I didn’t know how to do it, I had already screwed myself over two months before.

The Randomness of Connection

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

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

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!

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

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 [...]
