What does freedom mean to you? I live in the country of freedom. America, land of the free. Very nice. Very good. I can do all kinds of neat stuff with that. I can say what I want, go where I want, do what I want, etc. Problem though: I say too much, go theContinue reading “A Gift; A Poison”

What is the legacy you want to leave behind? I do not want to leave behind a legacy. I long to be forgotten. To live a good life, and to die. What is the point of a legacy? To inspire others to be like me? I challenge any man to do better. Whatever my impactContinue reading “Forgotten”
The Regeneration
How do you feel about cold weather? At the end of every summer, the cycle of life transitions from a time of growth to a time of rest. As nature winds down, the sun begins to set sooner and sooner. Trees begin to lose their leaves, storing up sugars and starches. Insects tunnel into theContinue reading “The Regeneration”
I’ve Watched You Suffer.
What sacrifices have you made in life? “A sacrifice is the act of giving up something of value—such as time, money, or a personal desire—for the sake of a greater good, or to offer it to a higher power” The feeling of performing CPR on a patient is something I’ll never forget.

Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often? “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” — Robert Frost I think on this quotation often, not for any particular desire I have to walk the road lessContinue reading “The Road Less Travelled”
You People Have Favorite BRANDS?
What are your favorite brands and why? Dear God, what have we done? I don’t have favorite brands, and you shouldn’t either.

Holy Words and Hope
What gives you direction in life? Direction.. it’s a hard thing to achieve. Long have I floated, much akin to a leaf being pushed about by the wind. Drifting, from place to place, from one event to the next. My path through this life has always been uncharted, aimless, and indirect. Where most people haveContinue reading “Holy Words and Hope”

Peace is a Lie, there is only Productivity
When do you feel most productive? Productivity. That delightful metric by which everyone lives. A loathsome word. Necessary. But loathsome, nonetheless. I feel the most productive at days end.
