Goals for 2009

So I’ve finally put together some goals for 2009. It’s taken me awhile but better late than never. In no particular order… Get Healthier – I’ve already started eating (somewhat) healthier but aim to quit smoking once and for all as well as getting out and exercising. Tech Consolidation – This one is probably a [...]

Why Every Man Should Go To A Barber Shop

A barber knows how to cut a man’s hair. If you’re like most men these days, you’re probably going to some unisex chain salon like Supercuts. I used to do it too. Most of the time, I’d walk out of these places with a crappy haircut. Sometimes, my haircut would look decent for the first [...]

New Years Eve 2008

We had a pretty laid back new years eve celebration this year. Zach came over and we watched some movies, drank some champagne and lit some firecrackers on the back deck. I’m hoping 2009 will be a much more exciting year than 2008 was. I must admit it’s been strange and somewhat unsettling to work [...]

Being Poor

Once upon a time I ate powdered potato soup for breakfast, lunch and dinner for thirty seven days straight. It was worth it. Being poor is people who have never been poor wondering why you choose to be so. Being poor is knowing how hard it is to stop being poor. Being poor is seeing [...]

It recently occurred to me that I have been living back in the Seattle area for over a year now. Initially this was quite shocking and I couldn’t figure out where the time had gone. The difference is the lack of travel I think. With the time I put into my job combined with three [...]

Changing The World

This is something I can definitely identify with… I am going to change the world. Really… I am.  I can be anything I want to be.  A CEO, an Entertainer, an Olympic Gold Medalist; whatever I work towards I can acheive. I was 5 years old when I first said that, and society reaffirmed me, [...]

Career, Quality of Life, and Decisions

Just read a very good blog entry by Matthew Moran on the choices he has made in his career and finances to achieve a better quality of life. I completely agree with his statement that “Time & Options are the quality of life barometers I wish to use.” Personally though, I am taking a different [...]

The Rat Race

I’ve been involved in owning, starting and/or managing businesses one way or another for the last 10 years. By working 60 hour weeks I’ve managed to push my salary well into the six figures within the last two years. Now, I find myself wondering whether it’s all actually worth it. Have I been brainwashed by [...]
