A repost of an old piece, but it resonates with me now. I am trying my best at the individual things, putting together the pieces of my life, and trying to not only achieve but excel. It is a challenge, every minute of every day. But I feel worthwhile of the effort.
Not Getting Lucky. Well. Sort of. Well, not that lucky. Just. Just read the post. 14 hours in Macau
Shout out to the Canadians who made Sapporo and Tokyo wonderful adventures. Kiah, Kail, Maddie! Thank you! A reflection on some of Tokyo and the chaotic thing I call life now.
A few pictures of the first week in Hokkaido, Japan. A letter to Bourdain on the immense choices we have as people.
Sexuality is such an easy insult to level but such a difficult personal journey to parse. Our sexual preferences change, grow, and challenge us in a reflection of our own path for self. Just a little personal piece on my process.
A experimental long form poem, short vignette. Something about This dirty city and it’s fertile soil, against the highs and lows of it’s turmoil.
I hope you like it!
A love note the the Shippers that I’m going to have to wait way too long to see, but I’m counting down the days and keeping my hand outstretched.
Merry Christmas!
I’ve been a big proponent of meditation recently, and it’s helped me quite a lot with understanding myself better and regulating my mentality. It’s not perfect and I have a lot more to learn and improve. But I’m really enjoying the work and I think everyone can do it and everyone can benefit.
VolIII. August 25th. Humbled by any support on the Indiegogo!
This is quite the raw one, and it’s a little longer for it. I talk about my emotional baggage, how it came to a bit of a head before my birthday, and how I still fight those demons successfully most days, and try to love them and me when I lose.
A written piece about the humbling, heartbreaking, hopeless moments of the 2018 Syracuse Half Ironman, and how I found joy. Featured reading at Another Open Mic, June 28th 2018
Just some writing, a quick opinion on how I’m using my time now to cultivate the best version of myself. Lots of things in the works, keep an eye out! Races, Farmhands, Open Mics, Trips, Events, Creation. Let me know what you think! What’s driving you?
Just sort of jotted down thoughts from the open mic, a mix of emotions and next steps. I loved what I created there, I want to continue to cultivate it, I need help with anything I listed, but regardless I’ll make it again and make it better.
If you're having a bad day [or days], a little tea can always help. I've had some struggles the last few months [early Nov- late Jan ish] and I wrote a bit about what steps I took to feel better. I hope it's helpful advice, if you feel like everything's been a little overwhelming.
My experiences introducing myself are part of a myriad of growth areas I've applied myself to over the last few years. It's gotten much better, but it also hasn't changed much at all. I provide some helpful guidelines I've used, and reflect on what the process has meant to me.
I'm an arrogant SOB, and that's never more clear then when I make-up bets with faceless, nameless Gods, all in the effort to give me some edge. Here, I'm exploring my tendency to use God as a means to reap rewards, and discuss what I think it means to pray, to shout, to live in the shadow of Omnicisent
Just a smaller piece about my personal relationship with failure and what I'm trying to cultivate in my own life, outside of how I was raised.
An open letter to myself about 2017 and looking towards 2018. I'm proud to have had a great and successful 2017. It was far from perfect, but I can be confident in the habits and skills I honed. 2018 is about commitment and execution, a continuation of the expectations and accomplishments I've set on myself.
A quick check in with what I'm learning from this entire process and what I would like to focus on more, namely marketing and discipline.
