The reality of dreams can be fleeting. Sometimes it’s as hard to see the storm for what it is while you’re standing in the middle of it. You can wake up from a nightmare and not have a firm grasp on what’s gotten you all worked up. Life is the same way, especially if you’re […]

It’s a foolish world.Maybe the sage wisdom of Solomon turned a blind eye? We live in an environment where commercial doesn’t just reign, it kills.Articles are written with subverted text, just to bury the content and bring out the Search Engine Optimization.The dumbification of journalism has been countered by ineptitude and unwavering faith in an

The Warrior Sloth does not make threats.Theirs is a war of attrition.They simply exist with the relentless knowledge that those they pursue will know of their enduring chase long before their arrival. It is not the strength and power of the lion. Or the glit and glamour of the cheetah.  A horse can gallop under the

Everyone wants to be the hero of their own story.I mean, it is YOUR story after all.Getting to that summit, and counting victory through perseverance…at all costs…right? What you do, and how you do it, effects more than just you. In the 1940′,. Polio was wrecking America.It was rampant.People died; lives were derailed.Hopes were sacrificed.Some

It’s not just you.At one point or another, life is just going to get you down. But you don’t have to

The respect that allows peers, even who don’t get along, to mutually appreciate each other. Everyone’s a critic.Whether we like it or not, it’s true.And that’s okay…for the most part. Criticism isn’t the same as a critique; and is often constructed through a poor veil of jealousy. The reality of creativity is that it should

Creativity isn’t static.Neither is the industry of the business behind it. Workflow shifts.What people find interesting changes. The commercial culture we’ve grown accustomed to, has curated an economy of impulse buys.And with that has come the attention span of a Mayfly. That is not an achievement. In the shadow of Artificial Intelligence, history is at

It’s just like they say, “if at first you don’t succeed…”What the hell were you expecting?! ‘One and done’ isn’t a practical approach to getting anything meaningful accomplished. Point of fact, the term diligence indicates persistence.  First drafts aren’t final drafts. One attempt, resulting in failure, does not…should not…indicate an overall waste of time.  For crying out

In sports, if you win 3 titles in the span of four years, you are a more than a dynasty…you are a legend.  But when you lose four championships in a row …it’s called a curse.  When you’re not winning, you can name all the greats, the idols, the role models…that never got the title. You
