The Time Is Now
How many times have you heard this? A billion? I know. Probably about as many times as you have heard, “It’s now or never.” Don’t you hate it when you hear something over and over again only to realize that it is true? It’s so cliché. But so true. *puke I am going to teach you a word today. I am assuming I know more than you, I am assuming I know around the same amount as you, and I had to look this up.

Tell Me About Your Funeral
My theory on weddings and funerals is this: For everyone one you attend, you are attending every one you have ever been to, and every one you are going to. Does that make sense?

It’s pathetic. It’s disturbing, actually. We live in a time where there is access to hundreds of millions of people

No Soliciting
“I didn’t get your email, but I wouldn’t have responded to it anyways. I ignore solicitors.” WTF? Who is a solicitor? (as I look around the empty bakery) I’m an artist. I create beautiful media for marketing. Oh. That’s right. I am technically trying to get her to pay me for a product or service. Which means I am technically soliciting. Which means I am technically a solicitor. Son-Of-A-Beekeeper. I’m the dude that I leave on the front porch, holding a clipboard, or box of ca
