First Post from my BlackBerry thanks to WordPress

February 4, 2010

I never realize how in the dark I am until someone shows me the light. Well, that light came courtesy of Mashable today when they annonced Wordpress released their own app for Blackberry. This is an upgrade from the beta release last summer. Essentially (I think), I can do anything I want from my phone [...]

When problems don’t seem like problems it becomes a problem.

January 21, 2010
Being a perfectionist always causes more harm than good.

The typical response to that type of title should be, “No shit!”  But, hear me out.  I have a problem.  Well, dozens.  And I know what they are.  At least, most of them.  The problem is when I’m in the act of committing a problem, it doesn’t seem like a problem.  Even though I knew [...]

How I hurt my son’s self-confidence

January 17, 2010
I hoped Transformers would help build my son's confidence. Instead, it hurt it.

Christmas had come and I was as giddy as a high-school teenager fixing to get his first lick of love.  I don’t spoil my son.  I hardly ever buy him toys.  His mother’s family does that way to much. I work hard to let him know I won’t spoil him.  When Christmas came, however, that [...]

Behind Christmas, this is when I really enjoy being a father

January 16, 2010
Sunday - err, Saturday - football with the son is always a pleasure

So, it’s almost kickoff time for the Saints and Cardinals.  There isn’t a single game this week that excites me.  But, what makes today a little better is I get to watch it with my son.  I wasn’t able to watch the playoffs with him last year because of the BS custody battle.  This football [...]

Please, I beg you, keep coming up with reasons to fail…

January 12, 2010
Stop wasting my time and the time of others who want to succeed and get out of the way

…because I’ve certainly had enough. I’m 32 years old for Pete’s sake.  And that 33rd year is coming up quick. I just don’t have time to fuck around anymore. So, do me a favor: follow these guidelines and you’ll be sure to remain stationary while I rocket forward.
One: think of the biggest failure you ever [...]

You could learn a lot from a Mark McGwire

January 11, 2010
Never bring disrespect to your brand - your name

There’s only so far lying will take you.  Eventually, it will all come back in the end.  Roger Clemens did it wrong.  Andy Pettite did it right.  Rafael Palmeiro did it wrong.  Today, Mark McGwire did it right.  It’s never too late.
I’m not writing about baseball. Instead, I’m going to tell you why you should [...]

Someday reality will slap you in the face

January 11, 2010
Many of us just need a slap in the face before taking on challenges

That’s what my mom always told me through my late teens and early 20’s. That became a reality on July 22, 2003. My son, O, was discovered. Talk about being bitch-slapped.
To say he was an accident is completely unfair to him. He was a pleasant surprise. I, of course, was ecstatic. I had no problems [...]

65 NASA Photoshop textures to use for graphic design

I was searching yesterday for a good texture as a background for a Wordpress Thesis theme I’m working on.  I happened to stumble across dozens of NASA textures I thought would be great for many ideas (some more so than others).  I thought I’d share those with you.  Regardless of your expertise, a little dabbling [...]

DON’T FORGET – Prep your grill right the first time

January 9, 2010
Season and protect your grill the first time and you'll be on your way to having great cookouts

A big hobby of mine is grilling.  A hobby I hope to perfect is smoking.  For Christmas, my girlfriend and I got a new Char-Griller 2137 Outlaw 1038 Square Inch Charcoal Grill/Smoker ($40 cheaper at Lowe’s when we purchased) with the optional Char-Griller 2424 Side Fire Box.
In my excitement, I rushed to put it together [...]
