Why I Stopped Smoking Weed – This is my 500 Word Freewrite for 12/9/2017

Peter
Few bands can make my hair stand on end like Muse. Everything resonates with me. I hear something.. a story that boosts my mood. I think that the piano-heavy aspect of their music is what pulls me in the most. I wonder what I am to do with this energy.. that is something that I consciously have to be better at directing towards my larger goals in life.   To be clear, all this chit chat and banter in the previous post about seeing through a break in the fog is related to watching the most recent documentary about Bill Nye.…

This is my 500 for 12/8/2017

Peter
What is the point of life if not to create as many experiences as possible?   We are tied to the idea that we want to live forever while neglecting the power of living a life full of flavor.   When we branch out of our comfort zones and we create a new dimension to our being, we create a brighter world for everyone else as well… the focus for me, for so long, has been on the cutthroat accumulation of finances.. and that part is something that I wrestled with because it is not a worthy goal on its…

This is my 500 for 12/7/2017

Peter
Little hiccups… words and thoughts repeating doubt and remorse.. all based in fear.. all thoughts limited by my own limitless beliefs. Squares inside of circles.. and lines are drawn outside the book. The tap. The course we are on is only for the individual to travel.. we all have our own course. Maybe something needs to be done. I say that again and again.. just as I repeat that we are not alone. We look up to the stars for answers.. forgetting that we are creators.. creators of the illest of intentions.. creators of peace and of war… but dwelling…

Type type type type flow with the keys.. like fingers rolling along the notes on a piano.. rolling from one melody to the next… searching for a rhythm and finding a beat... feeling the bass flutter with a thought of life.. heart beating in unision.. wondering where the next idea will come from...   I am so hung up on trying to find perfection.   I have to learn to just let go. This place is not for me alone.. this life we have is shared. We are all looking for answers in the same sandbox.. building and smashing dreams..…

Tap tap tap… tapping away at the keyboard… pressing away the pain.. pressing forward in my mind, thoughts and fears. I wonder if others care to notice. I wonder if that is what drives me. I think that there is something else.. I recognize that this progress is not sustainable without a feeling that I am contributing towards a greater cause.. something that we are all connected to.. similar to something that presses for the advancement of the fellow that sits alongside us in the bunker. Because we are all in this fight together… we are all at war with…

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

Peter
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…

THE BEST CAMERA IN THE WORLD: CANON 5D MARK III

Peter
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

Peter
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…
