I’ve been selfish.
Up until now, this blog has been mainly for me. It’s a mind dump when I get an idea that I need to hash out. Therefore, it’s poorly edited, long-winded, and barely consumable by the above-average human.
I’ve gotten some feedback, and I’m now currently thinking of a few different options. I’m going to […]

There is a recurring feeling that is starting to feel normal now that I’m on my own and working on my own projects. It’s one of stretching, which is characterized by a certain amount of uneasiness. It’s mostly manageable, but I am constantly finding myself in situations where I am definitely out of […]

It’s a magical thing to be able to look your pals in the eye and say “I’m my own boss.” You feel proud, important, and ahead of the crowd. You are not among the masses who are slave to some random, inept corporate-ladder-crawling-junkie who tell’s you what to do, how to do it and when […]

The first business that I am launching will be a solitary endeavor into the current school system. Like many others, I see many problems in our current schools system, and I will try to do my part to help out. One of those problems was displayed very clearly to me last week, when I started […]

I’ve switched from Blogger to Wordpress (whew! Super Easy and MUCH better) so I hope you like the new look. More changes to come…
Now that I am back from my travels (for now), I’ll be concentrating on blogging more on my entrepreneurial and career efforts. It seems right that this blog goes through […]

Back home in Louisville, Kentucky and I’m struggling to understand the differences between my life as of this morning, and the one I led 24 hours ago. How can so much change so quickly? I often think that the culture shock of returning to your home country is much more than when you visit others. […]

I’m already in a state of semi-shock that I will soon be leaving what has become a very comfortable environment. I’m also shocked every time I look in the mirror, because I now have no hair. Yesterday was Rodrigo’s birthday and we started it off at midnight by shaving my head (I asked him what […]

My friends here are absolutely dying to see photos of Marina’s Birthday party from yesterday, and after spending the last three days hanging out with them, I owe them at least that. Today was spent at the beach with Felippe (one of the guys I met on the way to the Jack Johnson concert) and […]

Last night I went into São Franciso, which is the beach on the other side of the hill, about a mile from where I live. I had plans to meet a group of friends for drinks, and the friends I met at the Jack Johnson concert were celebrating a birthday at a nearby bar.
As usual, […]
