I released the original album in May, 2008.
Travel here to get the freshened-up, re-calibrated, re-mastered and re-prioritized Rescue EP.
If you like the songs, pass them along.
New music is coming sooner, rather than later. Hold your breath. Just kidding.
Current.com recently produced a story about modern-day pirates. Most people didn’t think they were real until this week, when a captain and his crew went head-to-head with them. The end of the story is that the captain was saved and three pirates were killed by snipers.
The pirates do what they [...]
A friend asked me to post my favorite poetic work.
In eighth grade, we had a certain teacher who allowed us to read and write freely within the realms of the hour we were given daily. He graded us based on a more collegiate system. He eventually left his position. I always assumed [...]
…Or at least something that feels unproductive.
Most learning takes place when we aren’t looking for it. Most growth takes place when we feel unproductive. So, do something that feels counter-productive.

Have you found this to be true?
I think of parents sacrificing their time, not just their free time, to clean up vomit for their sick child. I think of Britney Spears sacrificing her privacy and her innocence to understand that [...]
…or you couldn’t afford to….
You could never buy the time and audience that this Inauguration will bring President Obama. What will he use this event to discuss? How much would you pay to have that type of attentive audience? You could never buy it. [...]
There is something artful about knowing when and when not to act. We have many dreams. Many ideas. Which one is the right one? Which time is the right time?
So often, we plant seeds, but we can’t wait long enough for the tree to grow. We [...]
…includes other people.
My leader and I recently had a conversation that led me to think about this. He employs these practices very intentionally.
If you are worthy of leading…
If you have a passion….

It will all be worth nothing if you don’t include others.
Ways to include others:
• Ask someone (not a ‘yes’ [...]
“Are you not entertained! Are you not entertained! Is this not why you are here!” -Gladiator
