I like to begin each day with a dose of positivity and motivation. It helps me stay on track toward achieving my goals, because achieving goals isn't always easy but getting discouraged can be. Today I found an article online that fits perfectly into what I call "Morning Motivation". 6-year old Danny Keefe has health… Continue reading You Create Your Own Cool

Happy Birthday Dad | Stop Trying to Kill the Ball and Other Life Lessons
18 November, 1945. My dad would have been 68 today. We lost him way, way too early. But as each sun rises and sets beyond our last hello I grow more confident he is still with me. He was forever a teacher, a coach intent on doing all he could to help me succeed. Sometimes… Continue reading Happy Birthday Dad | Stop Trying to Kill the Ball and Other Life Lessons
Piecing the Perfect Puzzle
My life has been a little fractured of late, but not necessarily in a bad way. Just fractured in pieces. Maybe that isn’t even the best way to describe it. More like a puzzle, I guess, when you open it for the first time and the picture on the front turns out to be a… Continue reading Piecing the Perfect Puzzle
What it has taken me 33 years to learn
One of the things I've learned in my 40 years is that when you come across somebody who has written something worth sharing...You share it. Like this post from Justin McElroy.
A Night To Remember | Ben Harper LIVE at Bridges Auditorium, 6 November 2013
I began blogging in March of 2007 on my since scuttled MySpace page, and since the website was geared toward music, so were my posts. My first post was titled "The Music of Teen Angst", and became the foundation and structure for what would ultimately become a chapter in my book Lifting a Foot Forward.… Continue reading A Night To Remember | Ben Harper LIVE at Bridges Auditorium, 6 November 2013
Dropping an F-Bomb
Once Upon a Time… I had the attention span of a 6 year old. The End. **Editor’s Note The following comments will be typed out on the computer by Greg’s hands, utilizing his subconscious mind to provide a precariously fluid thought on the subject of today’s society. As seems to be a growing trend, Greg… Continue reading Dropping an F-Bomb
Restoring My Faith in Halloween
I was telling Sandra this might be the last Halloween I celebrate. Seriously. Things have changed, and while I really hate thinking that I’m getting old, my problems with the changes are simple and I don’t necessarily think attributed to my age. Maybe. Either way, I was a little put off. But let me begin… Continue reading Restoring My Faith in Halloween
The Diabolical Scheme of 3:30am
I guess I haven’t been as unproductive as I first thought. I wrote a journal entry just last Thursday, though I guess I can attribute my confusion to seemingly endless days of illness and the reoccurring horror of 3:30am. Like Freddy Krueger scaring me down the hallway, dragging his stainless steel press on nails along… Continue reading The Diabolical Scheme of 3:30am
Here We Are Now, Entertain Us | Nirvana and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
It was lightning in a bottle, igniting a genre to the point an icon was created almost instantly. And in a flash of brilliance and torment a legend was born among the swirl of black smoke and the smell of gun powder. It was tragic, and yet we are left to wonder if could have… Continue reading Here We Are Now, Entertain Us | Nirvana and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Changing the World with a Simple “Thank You”
I’m a big believer in good manners. I’m not sure who invented the concept, though I can say with some certainty it probably wasn’t cave men, whacking each other over the head with the bones of a snaggletoothed lizard or something like that. No, I’m not sure who invented the concept, but that person is… Continue reading Changing the World with a Simple “Thank You”
