This past week I got a rejection letter from a part-time job application. I had read somewhere that it’s a good practice to say thank you to employers even if they give you a letter of rejection, and I thought this was a little rediculous. No matter how nuts it sounded, I tried it. I’m not sure what the outcome will be, but at least I made a stronger impression....

A scheduled meeting to discuss issues was planned and with everyone in attendance, no plan was in place on how the meeting was to proceed.

I’ve always had a little bit of sight and I’m cool with being the blind dude....

This past week after JiuJitsu training, talking with my wife about the idea of “Smack talk” helped me to examine the idea of an outlet. The idea of an outlet is giving yourself the opportunity to escape and channel your feelings towards something other than the routine activities that consume our everyday lives. For me JiuJitsu is considered an outlet, but I also have developed a light switch for myself as a result of the outlet....
