This is the era of branding. Branding is basically creating an image of how we want something (or someone) to APPEAR, with the hopes of inspiring some action or other (usually sales). Personally, I find the concept rather abhorrent, for it leads to a society more concerned by image than actuality, but the concept has […]
Digital selfie
As technology increasingly becomes one of humanity’s core imperatives, how we interact with each other has changed significantly. Once upon a time, sharing ideas required one being physically interacting with another on SOME level, but these days our interactions just need the appropriate device. The devices get more complicated, ironically causing the interactions to be […]
Beware excuses!
Wellness is something we work on for our whole life. If we have developed good habits, it does not SEEM like work, but it is an ongoing process. Physical, emotional, and spiritual fitness require continuous effort, though if we are doing it right we will not even notice the effort involved. Sometimes it is focused […]
Here be dragons … so I’ll move over here instead
Saint Augustine has been quoted as saying “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page”. I want to be an avid reader, and there have been times that I have been. But these days I seem stuck on the same page. The book got a little darker […]

Do NOT read this post!
Life is meaningless. This is not a cry for help. Nor an exhortation of pathos or extreme depression. It is an epiphany. I have understood this academically for most of my life. But recently … and I am not sure why … it could be something I ate … recently I truly came to UNDERSTAND […]
Stop seeking and ye shall find
One of my goals when I originally set out on this journey was to take a LOT of pictures. Photography has always been one of my passions, but as my skill (and the technology) improves, so does the passion. Why else would I carry a good 15 lbs of extra photo equipment in my pack … […]
Re-re-re-re-rebirth
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]I seem to be in the process of reinventing myself (yet again). If you have followed this blog at all, (or any of my slew of OTHER blogs), you will realize that this seems to happen a lot … so much, in fact, that it is questionable if I actually exist. It is a distinct […]
