There once was a time when I was a young boy growing up in urban Houston, Tx. A friend and I were chilling one summer afternoon or sometime where there was light outside. The topic of the conversation switched to where I was born and who I could and couldn’t be in this country. My…

When I woke up this morning I was thrilled and ready to start my day. Of course I was happy with the outcome of the election, but I really did feel different. I talked to my co-workers, said hello to people in the hall way, and went on with my day working as I did…

Well my five weeks of vacation is pretty much over. I start work with my new company tomorrow. I am kind of excited, but wish I had more vacation with tons of money in the bank and do more of what I was doing from being off. That will have to wait and will have…

There’s a big hurricane coming to town tonight and I am prepared enough, I think. I got a little restless and drove around to find a grocery store so I can make a last minute meal and visit my parents. I also took my camera so that I could take some photos to see what…

27 I don’t know what it will bring. I expect it to be better than 26, but we shall see. 26 Was a great year. I learned, I lived, and I’ve grown. As I look back it really is amazing what I did while planning and what I did without planning. My thoughts became words…

It has been well over 2 months since I got my Apple iphone 3g and am happy with the decision that I made to get my own phone line and get a phone that I have wanted for some time now. My Black Berry was falling apart and didn’t want to get another one. So…

I have already started my month off before I start my next job vacation and so far so good. I have tons of things planned and I will do my best to complete them. I am going to write a huge goal list later today or early morning to give people and myself an outline…

As many of yall already know I will be off from my next job for a month. I plan to do some reading, writing, traveling, working out, and whatever I feel that I have been putting off. I have been looking forward to this the whole year and now that I am here I am…

Whenever it came to finding my passions I always thought that I needed the most extreme and exciting hobby in order for my life to be considered amazing. As I told people of what I wanted to do in my life I expressed an interest in something that I thought that they might find to…

I had my first fiction class this past wednesday. I didn’t know what to expect but I was anxious to see what I could learn from the instructor. When I walked into the classroom a white hair white woman with glasses greeted me. She was very enthused to see me and the other beginning writers…

I was listening to NPR, Fresh Air, a couple of days ago and was quite intrigue by a film writer by the name of Charlie Kaufman, who wrote some interesting films. As Terry Gross was interviewing him I because more and more interested in what he was talking about. Everything that he was saying was…

As I look at this photo a year later I still can’t believe that I was there. As each day passed since the last day in a place I only saw in other people’s photos, movies, television shows, and in my dreams I knew that I really did something special. All I had was a…

“And although I knew no one man could do much about it, I felt responsible. All our work had been very little, no great change had been made. And it was all my fault. I’d been so fascinated by the motion that I’d forgotten to measure what it was bringing forth. I’d been asleep, dreaming.”…

Tossing and turning. Heard everything that was going on while I was sleeping. People calling, people texting, thinking of the endless things that I put on my “very important” to do list. I learned so much while trying to get much needed rest this afternoon. I couldn’t finish a movie because I was tired due…

Yesterday I had a phone conversation for 5-10 minutes with a Houston base automotive journalist. I was quite surprised that he agreed to talk to me and very humble that he took a couple of minutes to give me some insight on his career that I want so badly to be a part of. He…

Ever since I have been off from changing jobs I have been working out like a mad man. I have slightly cut my meals because my metabolism is crazy fast. It is so fast that after eating a big bowl of cereal I am hungry again 30 minutes later. I have picked up a past…

The book, Tuesday with Morrie, is about a college professor dying while his old student spends the last months with him. They talk about old times, life’s greatest learnings, and how we all can…

I have been working at my new job for 3 weeks already and am enjoying it so far. It is hard to not like something only after 3 weeks, but I am still in the adjusting phase. For instance, I have been rectifying to waking up at 6 a.m. and arriving at work no later…

In mind: “Damn, this place looks like shit, hopefully the food is good” “Damn, it looks like shit inside and so many space with empty seats, I guess they are busy during dinner time” “Fuck they don’t have much of a selection to choose from, I don’t ever want to come back to this Chinese…

I didn’t think I would reach this accomplishment this quickly, but it did happen this past friday. I looked at the bar and said to damn I really am about to bench press this amount of weight. So here it is in on words of how I felt before, during, and afterwards. The last exercise…

I was just recently review for work and I pretty much knew how it would go and then my boss said something toward the end that stuck. It was, “It is hard to take criticism from your peers and it takes time for one to accept it”. Over the past few years I would secretly…

I realized this the past couple of weeks where I didn’t plan any goals and specific task also while I was finishing up a great book called, The Alchemist. There are a couple of ideas and concerns that were floating in my head about things that I have started and not finished and also about…
