February 26, 2012

Now that Austin Vickers’s debut film will open nationwide in select cities (beginning March 2012), it’s time to share more about the profound impact this movie had on me. In my original review, I talked about the realizations I’ve made about life and how I planned to fix them. As part of this process, I [...]

February 24, 2012

In my ongoing quest to find the perfect pair of running shoes, I was fortunate to visit the Skora Running offices in Portland, OR. I had a chance to talk with Mike about why the Skoras were made, what they hope to accomplish, and why Skora Running shoes are awesome. They offered me a pair [...]

February 14, 2012

(The images shown here may be graphic to some or my hairy, bloody toes may offend you. If you’re worried, stop reading right now.) My name is Tyler and I’ve been in an abusive relationship with my nails for as long as I can remember. For all my childhood and the first decade of adulthood, [...]

Body Composition Challenge with Vin Vallejo of Pro Fitness AZ, Week 2

February 6, 2012

The body composition challenge doesn’t factor Super Bowl Sundays into the lifestyle plan. There are few things worse than eating well for more than a few days and then being thrust into a world of rich, high-calorie, great-tasting, completely and totally bad for you food that you can’t help but sample repeatedly. Oh sure, that [...]

Destiny whispers softly

January 13, 2012

Over time, the consequences of these choices shape our destiny.” Mollie Marti, page 163, Walking With Justice I’ve never had a mentor. [...]

Initial Occupy Impressions

October 19, 2011

It’s like Fight Club; but no one is building bombs or preparing for war. Tyler Durden had his army preparing their bodies. This leaderless movement is preparing their minds.

What It Means To Be American

September 11, 2011

I’ve never traveled outside of North America. I’ve only lived in Washington state and Arizona. I’ve never been an activist, never been personally affected by a terrorist attack and I’ve never participated in a protest or demonstration. And this is what I think it means to be American: Everyone deserves a chance. Maybe only one, [...]

A meaningful life – State Of Illusion Movie Review

September 8, 2011

(I’m sure that blog posts like this are the reason my dad thinks I don’t have more clients and am not more successful in business. That being said, I don’t know of any other way to get this stuff out and I feel an obligation to share. Granted, this isn’t as inspiring as most of [...]

A-Listers still don’t care about you

July 12, 2011

The announcement of and the invite to Google’s latest attempt at social networking brought with it hopes of an internet utopia: users sharing specific, relevant content to groups divided either by relationship to or shared interest. Finally, I could share tech news with those I consider business associates, pet pics with my family and x-rated [...]
