Sunday Surfeit #1 – The Beginning

January 16, 2011

A surfeit can be generally described as an excess of something, usually in terms of eating or drinking. In other words: a gluttonous meal.

This is an experiment…

June 16, 2010

This is an experiment; a public allocation of thoughts, dreams, failures, and successes. It could be a mistake, it could be the most profound thing I do, or it could be a mere blip in the human timeline that few will ever notice. It’s more likely the latter, but does that make it any less [...]

Just Write It All Down

June 1, 2010

Here’s the thing: the more you tell yourself that you have nothing to say, the more that becomes true. Having something to say isn’t the problem in most cases. It’s having the courage to say it. There’s not a minute that goes by that your mind isn’t racing at the speed of light with thoughts [...]
