When was the last time you went through every single photo in your Facebook profile? I did recently and the results were a bit unnerving.
By and large, as is oft the case with social media, the photos expressed pure joy and happiness. Contrast this with my actual emotional state at the time of each […]

I have to finish out my grass-fed butter and collagen and organ meat supplements and fish oils and meat-filled meal deliveries, but besides that I am now 100% vegan.
It’s quite a compelling documentary, taking Netflix by storm as of the time of this writing. It’s amazing how convincing these documentaries are when they simply […]

I should really get into a regular writing and posting schedule, but I have my brother coming this weekend so maybe next week.
Okay maybe just get something on paper to start. Actually no, I’d rather block off a bunch of time so I can knock out a full post at least, maybe two if […]

“A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.”
Tim Ferriss

I used to look at Coors Beer trucks driving on the freeway as just the natural order of the world. It’s just there, and it makes sense, and it knows where it’s going and the huge logo on the side of the truck just happens. What I failed to realize is that every man-made […]

Eventually I just tapped out. Sometimes I’m ahead, sometimes I’m behind, but the struggle has always been real (well, not really REAL, more like mental and imaginary which is prison for a cerebral person).

The few, the proud, the optimizers. I’m one of them, as are my closest friends. Birds of a feather do indeed flock together. The distance we’d go to seek out that last 1% increase is remarkable, but more importantly, questionably worth it. It’s just too tempting to avoid until you look back on parts […]

The words “Brian” and “Gandhi” will never be associated together, but progress has been made nonetheless. I’ve spent almost my entire life dwelling and obsessing over what I call the “selfish black hole” – the infinite universe of selfish desires, perceived imperfections, strategies for self-gain, etc. After all, I am a part of Generation […]

I just got off the phone with my best friend between airports while flying back from an annual family reunion in beautiful Northern Michigan. In conclusion, everything sucks. As he would point out every third sentence or so, it’s all so “Buddhist.” Man suffers from three desires. The desire to want. The desire to become. […]
