Dilapidated street lamps cast down flickering puddles of light across the cracked pavement. Shadowy alleys cloaked junkees and johns, whores and handshakes. Matte Black Air Force 1s stomped past the corner of 17th Street & Barrington Way, eyes darting from corner to corner scanning for the slightest hint of chaos. Any motion from the darkContinue reading “200 Miles North: a Short Story”

The Backside of My 20s
I’ve rewritten this blog post three times, each with a very different tone. The first carried hope and optimism with a goofy attitude as I reflected on my early 20s. The second discussed the freedom and enlightenment of independence in young adulthood. The third rendition, the one you’re reading now, is one of persistence, visualization,Continue reading “The Backside of My 20s”
Health is Wealth
I’m not one to casually instruct others, but in this blog I’m going to preach. If you aren’t prioritizing your health, you’re fucking up big time. As I navigate life in my mid 20s, I’m appalled at the blatant disregard for physical, spiritual, and mental health that some of my friends and family exhibit. MyContinue reading “Health is Wealth”
A Perspective on Time Management
The way we tend to treat time is riddled with irony. When someone wastes our time, we grow furious because it is something we can never get back. However, we’re perfectly content to waste our own time and don’t experience the same reaction. Whether you’re mindlessly scrolling on social media, binge watching an entire NetflixContinue reading “A Perspective on Time Management”
Carnivore Diet Review Round 2
In February 2021, I dedicated the shortest month of the year toward snubbing a handful of shitty habits, eating nothing but animal products, and taking up Jiu Jitsu as a new hobby. Last year was a mental battle from the jump; I was working as a Sales Rep, waking up as early as 3am andContinue reading “Carnivore Diet Review Round 2“
How do I want to be remembered?
Buckle up Space Wizards, we’re about to get heady. As I stood in the shower last night, hot water cascading down the front of my face like a psychopath, my thoughts swirled in a deep meditation. I was pondering how I want to be remembered; what kind of legacy do I want to leave? ToContinue reading “How do I want to be remembered?”
Carnivore Diet Review
My dumbass decided that February was the time to emphasize self-discipline and make my life harder in various ways. One of those ways was eating the carnivore diet for the entirety of the month. If you aren’t familiar with the carnivore diet, you only eat animal products. No fruits, no veggies, nada. I was literallyContinue reading “Carnivore Diet Review”
Cultivating Discipline
I’ve dedicated the month of February to investing in self-discipline. Somewhere along the lines, I slipped up and lost my way. My gym closed back in October so I stopped exercising consistently, started using nicotine again, and bogged myself down with laziness and apathy. The gradual erosion of my physical fitness, mental health, and overallContinue reading “Cultivating Discipline”
Siege on the U.S. Capitol
On January 6th, 2021, thousands gathered at our nation’s capitol to protest the results of the 2020 presidential election. In an act of defiance, citizens stormed the U.S. Capitol building to disrupt the 117th Congress. More disturbing than the chaos, looting, and violence was the reaction of people on social media. It was as ifContinue reading “Siege on the U.S. Capitol”
