This is my 500 for 12/1/2017
Well, here we are again… at last… we meet again… I feel like these quick little writing sessions are like fighting a mini-boss at the end of a level… maybe it has something to do with the music that is pumping through the speakers right now… I could tone it down with a little soft classical music, but the drive and the rattling of my mind would slow me in my writing… I aim for high energy.. aiming for a high energy physiology.. in my writing… in my face-to-face conversation.. understanding that the connections we make are the only things…
This is my 500 for 11/30/2017
I don’t know what it is that is causing me to delay. The fresh new fears of rejection or the thoughts that feedback about this writing will make me want to curl up into a ball. The fact remains, that something is better than nothing… at least for me. I mean, I am much better off writing something and posting it if I am interested in improving my writing skills… feedback is such a necessary part of this beast. It’s not like I am curing cancer… but for me, it is something that is important that I at least do.…
This is my 500 for 11/29/2017
I am working to update this blog with more regular content. One of the ideas that I am playing with is utilizing an already existing daily ritual I have of writing a minimum of 500 words as quickly as possible and just seeing what comes out. A lot of times it doesn't make sense. Actually, it rarely makes sense. But the reason why I am going to start posting these exercises here on the daily is that I know that done is better than perfect. So, think of these half-baked posts as, well, half-baked. I hope it ends up tasting…
15 INCREDIBLE THINGS TO DO IN TOKYO
I've had the good fortune of traveling to Tokyo on two separate occasions these past few years and while I've had the pleasure of venturing out to some of the more bizarre spots in Tokyo, I still feel like this is just the beginning of what could very well be a lifelong romance with one of the most incredible places I have ever experienced. When I visited Tokyo, Japan not too long ago, I gathered some travel suggestions and threw the post up on our friend's travel blog: localadventurer.com <--- CHECK THEM OUT. Well, now I have my own…
TESLA MODEL 3 UPDATES
If you haven’t heard about the Elon Musk’s Model 3 Teslas then…. well, I’ll let you fill in the blank. Could this possibly be this generation’s most anticipated car release? I see no information to indicate otherwise. Families and aspiring tree-huggers will be picking up one of these bad boys as soon as, well, wait, what exactly do we know about the Tesla Model 3 up to this point? Here is what I have come up with so far: With shares of Telsa’s stock (SYMBOL: TSLA) up over 50% this year, you’d think that it would be difficult to…
TOP 5 KAUAI EXPERIENCES
No doubt you have seen Jurassic Park, if you haven't, I'll wait. If you are a fan, why not visit the island where it was filmed? Here are the top FIVE things you need to do if you are able to visit Kauai, Hawaii's most northern island: 1) Take a helicopter tour with Jack Harter Helicopter Tours. This is by far the best way to see the island because the vast majority of land is protected, undeveloped and, thus, inaccessible. Remember the waterfall canyon helicopter landing scene in Jurassic Park? For a little extra, you can have the same experience.…
THE BEST CAMERA IN THE WORLD: CANON 5D MARK III
The BEST camera in the world (well, ok, the best camera I have ever owned), by far, is the Canon 5D Mark III I've had this gadget for a few years news. I first picked it out because I figured I could use it for creating real estate marketing content in my previous career as a realtor but it quickly turned into much, much more than that. From trips to Joshua Tree to shoot the Milky Way to use for YouTube videos and Family Christmas Cards... it continues to cover a wide range of my content creation needs and I've…
9 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD FREEWRITE … EVERY DAY
Each day that starts off on the right foot begins with a kiss from Mari and a cup of really good, black coffee from our French Press but it is on the mornings that I find time to free write that my day takes on a new meaning.. thoughts, fears, emotions.. all puked out onto the page for my conscious mind to digest... Often times, it's just more of the same anxious dribble bubbling up to the surface that reminds me what it is that is draining me of my energies. Writing provides an outlet for all of that excess…
