Where have the gentlemen gone?
I am constantly baffled by women’s perception of the “men” of our generation. The generalization of “guys” these days almost makes me embarrassed to be one simply because I might get grouped together with them. On the flip side, women who are perpetually jaded and only talk badly about men are making themselves look worse…
Read MoreThe beauty of not knowing (Warning: Controversial opinion inside).
This is kind of long so I don’t expect many to read it, but I wanted to write it anyway. Also, some will find this controversial – my intention is never to offend, but to spark thought and discussion. If we are friends on Facebook, many of you have probably seen (and possibly been annoyed…
Read MoreDon’t Just Go Through Relationships, Grow Through Relationships.
First, I just want to say I have a great girlfriend, this is not about me. But, as we all see on Facebook, breakups happen every day. Some people get back together, some don’t. Sometimes it’s a mutual feeling, sometimes it’s not. Sometimes you’re the one who wants it to end, sometimes you’re not. And sometimes,…
Read MoreThe Difference Between A ‘Bad Boy’ And A Jerk

Work. The grind. The 9-5’ers, the 95%’rs in this country, those who play the economic game the longest are usually those who are playing for someone else. They follow orders, they get told when they can take a break, when they have to come in and when they can go home…and the bigger picture shows…
Read MoreThe evolution of monogamy.
I think it’s safe to say that we all are familiar with the fact that there’s an astronomically high divorce rate, constant news stories about which celebrity had an affair with 4,490,986 people this week, couples breaking up, getting back together, fighting, breaking up again, etc… Yet…our grandparents and some of our parents have been…
Read MoreHow do you want to be remembered?
People often say they will do something “tomorrow” or “later,” and before they know it, there have been a hundred tomorrows, and later never comes. After that, all we can do is look around and wonder where the time went. I’ve realized a lot of things in the recently about friendship and family, and what…
Read MoreWhy thinking for yourself is the truest freedom.
There is a famous quote by the late Steve Jobs, which I’m sure we have all heard: “Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.” Read this quote to most people, and they are sure to agree with it – however, do they really understand it? Let’s…
Read MoreGET UP! And get happy!
You want to know why people never feel excited about anything anymore? MOTION CREATES EMOTION! We grow up in a culture of “don’t do this, don’t do that” — are kids jumping around because they’re excited? Or excited because they’re jumping around? Your physiology changes the emotions your body feels, we need to GET EXCITED…
Read MoreThe Truth: Do People Really Change?
For those of you who don’t know the story of the scorpion and the frog – allow me to enlighten you. A scorpion needed to cross a river, so he approached a frog to ask for help. The frog denied him, saying “Why should I trust you? You could easily sting me.” The scorpion assured…
