In My Life
I feel extremely privileged to have grown up as a child of the 80s. I might go as far as to say that my generation had the best music of any generation. As an elder millennial however, my parents are of the boomer generation, and with that came the introduction to a wide variety of… Continue reading

Death
I heard a quote yesterday: “Except for man, all creatures are immortal, for they are ignorant of death” This brought another quote to mind for me: “Ignorance is bliss.” Oh what life could be like if we were but creatures living in blissful ignorance of our own impermanence. I think about death. A lot. More… Continue reading

Perception
Growing up, I always wanted an imaginary friend. I told someone this recently and they asked, “then why didn’t you just.. imagine one?” The thing is, I didn’t want a pretend friend, I wanted a REAL imaginary friend. I wanted it to be like in the movies, when kids actually see and play with their… Continue reading

Anyone who knows me well, knows that Tom Petty is one of my childhood heroes. His music was the soundtrack to the majority of my formative years, and remains some of the most important music in my life to date.

Artificial Intelligence – The Future is Now
I have always been interested in technology and sci-fi, from an early age. Thinking back on things now though, I would say my true interest was piqued after seeing The Matrix for the first time in the theater when I was in high school. I remember walking out to the car afterward and just GUSHING… Continue reading

Home
I was born and raised in a small, rural town in southern Oregon (greatest state in the entire US of A). Sometimes being born and raised in this type of setting can make a person sheltered, unable, and at times unwilling to explore and experience what the rest of the world has to offer. Luckily… Continue reading

The Energy Within
It’s always been interesting to me, the things we remember from our childhoods. Seemingly mundane conversations and scenarios can end up being core memories, while big events might remain vague memories. I have many memories with my grandma Hilda (my paternal grandmother), most of which are some of the happiest I have, and I think… Continue reading
