DAMAGED MEN DON’T ASK FOR BAND-AIDS?

Damaged men are all around, but you’d never know it. Why? Not because they tell you, because they don’t. In a show and tell world, they do the show part better than the tell part.

WEIGHT LIFTING FOR MENTAL HEALTH

  Weight lifting is for everyone, more or less, weight-wise. Lifting is something you do every day whether you log it as such, or not. I’m a fan of trying to tell the difference between lifters and non-lifters.

ERRAND BOY? EMBRACE THE JOB

Who’s an errand boy? Who isn’t? That’s how things get done, doing on errands. What else is there, hiring someone to do errands? But there are times it makes sense.

ROCKY RELATIONSHIP WITH WRITING?

RIPPLE EFFECT OUT OF NOWHERE

You’ve seen the ripple effect if you’ve ever tossed a stone into calm water. The rock goes “PlooP’ and sends little waves across the water’s surface. Small waves for us are huge to the little creatures on the shoreline. What happens when we are the small creatures?

DEDICATION, DEVOTION, WRITING A BLANK SCREEN ALIVE
