Woke up feeling refreshed and recharged, better than I have in several days. Probably because I worked out a small feud with someone whom I really never had anything against to begin with, but whom I did repeat a nasty rumor I’d heard, thus inciting a grudge that lasted way longer than it should have,…

“Nothing to tell now Let the words be yours, I’m done with mine” By John Perry Barlow with Bob Weir Recorded on Ace (Warner Brothers, 1972) Cora, Wyoming February, 1972 I go months and months without thinking about certain things, including the grateful dead, and then in a wave and a rush, I’ll remember how…

Woke up thinking about work again, it’s been an amazing few months with our software going into almost every major nightclub and dozens of great restaurants throughout Atlanta, and I’ve hired three sales folks, and I’m just amped still. We release on iphone very soon, and the anticipation to see how everything all works is…

Fun stuff. Very proud to be on theaddictedproject.com and to be their featured author. It was a long week, and I was a bit tired and discombobulated, but I think it went over pretty well, we shall see I suppose. Great questions though. Writing about personal relationships has definitely been the most taxing and challenging…

Funny both my father who died when I was 11 to suicide, but really to alcoholism and addiction, and my step father who stepped into my life right after his death, both listened to Earl Nightingale tapes almost religiously. I listen to them over and over, as well as other philosophers and sales training gurus,…

Wow, what an honor, to be asked to do anything at all special regarding the book, but to be asked to be a featured author for a recovery based website, I mean, that’s damn near moving. I’ve made a lot of mistakes in recovery, I’ve not always been the kindest, most humble human being on…

The recovered drug addict/alcoholic such as myself, is apt to find that even without drugs and alcohol, he is still quite capable of obsessing over certain things. With 4.5 years of real sobriety now, I’ve obsessed over everything from WW2 strategy games, to my book Hippopotamus Sea which took three years to write and finish.…

funny… copy and paste these links regarding the Twain and MLK quotes: http://gizmodo.com/#!5798029/those-mlk-and-mark-twain-quotes-youre-spreading-on-facebook-and-twitter-are-fake Haha, even funnier, the original quoter had it right, but people didn’t see her quotation notes: http://www.good.is/post/that-martin-luther-king-quote-is-fake-use-these-instead/ Wow, and the Twain one, of which I could have sworn I read in his autobiography, this is what I found almost unanimously everywhere I…

Few people really do their own thinking. As Mark Twain said, the only original thought written down was either Adam or Eve. That being said, too much deferring of your thoughts, or living by other people’s opinions can be hugely detrimental to your life, and most especially if you’re in the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.…

This has been a strange week for me. I thought something hadn’t affected as deeply as it really had, and seeing a few images brought it all back to light, and made me sad. To this day I just don’t understand how women dismiss chemistry so easily, as if it’s just something that the next…
