We Who Shun Chaos for Community
We have the greatest opportunity the world has ever seen, as long as we remain honest — which will be as long as we can keep the attention of our people alive.
— Thomas Jefferson
Let’s get out of here, you and me.

Revisions
I’m chasing my history and finding discrepancies between who I am and who I’ve thought I should become.
I fashioned myself in the image of a spirited warrior from the start, but so many scars later and I don’t know what I’ve gained from all of these fabrications. I was the toddler seeking diplomacy to avoid [...]
Anyone Can Play Guitar
Man! Nothing like good music, a few cups of coffee and a sleepless study session to make you feel alive! Reminds me of the good old days in the Corps with caffeine pills and sleeping bags under my office desk.

There is a Light That Never Goes Out
There’s always that pesky feeling of loneliness that stems, no doubt, from the persistence of an inability to relate. The Beatles are getting less play these days, and The Smiths are on the cusp of its resurgence as my popular authority: this is how I know I’m coming up on a personal shift (juvenile, I [...]
Ambition Only Leads to Failure
I tried my hand at swimming laps this morning. Kicked my ass. Fun, though.
Victory’s Sweet Even Deep in the Cheap Seats
22:28 on my three-mile run this morning. A personal record!
I’m coming for you fast, 22.
