It’s Saturday. I slept in till 10:31am. Lounged around enjoying nothingness till about noon when I got to work on some copywriting for a new landing page I was building for a Google AdWords campaign… then the crazy started.
One of my little external hard drives that I use to back up files at home decided to bust itself and not work or sumpin. This is actually the first hard drive to die on me, ever. I thought I had a good streak going. The problem is I needed some files on it. Not to worry, I figured I had backed them up to a hard drive on my desktop PC at the office. (Don’t get any ideas, I’m a Mac guy and I hardly use PCs cept when I HAVE to. I actually leave this one at work because I have no good use for it).
My wife went to the store and I headed in to the office. I drove all the way there, walked up to the building, and promptly realized I’m a knucklehead. I had forgotten the electronic office key at home so I couldn’t even get in and it didn’t seem like there was one single blessed soul within a ten mile radius to save me. I drove all the way back home. When I made the return trip back to the office, here comes a freakishly unbelievable tempest, it was like a stormin’ Norman Schwarzkopf type deal. Read it →

I think I keep putting off writing my side of the story because Seth’s writing is SOO good. I don’t know about you, but KINDA intimidating.
Just a little bit of insight before I start into my side of the ‘it’.
Seth hates cliché. I knew that. Earlier that week and weeks prior he randomly would say to me, “So how bout we just get engaged 1 day before and surprise everyone? Or we could do it a week before…” Read it →
Thanks for taking a look. I’m happy to report that what you’re looking for has now published.
Check it out on Amazon Kindle.
Much love and smiles to you,

What do you say when you have nothing to say? What are you saying when you say nothing at all?
If I had nothing to say, I prolly wouldn’t say anything. At least nothing would come out of my mouth. Its just up to you to decide what it is I mean by the silence.
Having nothing to say, or just saying nothing, doesn’t mean that you have nothing to say, necessarily. In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
Your loud silence speaks a library full of possibilities, you just don’t get to control what it is that people are assuming you are saying through the silence. Silence can be very ‘potent’.
By saying nothing at all, you leave your audience in a most awkward quandary for each is left to divine what the heck it is you mean by your ‘stinking’ silence.
Call me crazy, but I just ain’t a good diviner sometimes.
Silence could mean pretty much anything. Here’s a few ideas. Silence could meant that.. Read it →
Life is like a blender AND maybe like a box of chocolates too, but for this post, more like a blender please. Yes, I’m serious. Yes, I’m serious.
Electric blenders are mysteriously cool and supremely advantageous and somewhat necessary in order to live a convenient life full of convenience and smoothies. (My sister has one of them Vitamix deals that are just really unreal).
With a blender, almost unlike any other machine known to mankind, random unkempt stuff that seems like it shouldn’t go together, just does somehow.. in a smooth kind of way. Read it →
I'm just a normal 6'10" dude with a gigantic passion for playing the round ball, the little white one that flies 400 yards. In 2004, with my college hoops career ending in a pile of scorched dreams, I went on a journey to find myself. I learned that I had a message to share with the world.
