Teardown: Game of Thrones, part 2 – Jamie

He grinned, knowing full well that his skills were unmatched.

The smirk that he gave everyone before the flash of his dagger kept hidden.

Tonight was not the night the golden hair Kingslayer was going to win.

Tossed down and in one powerful swipe, his hand was gone. Jamie Lannister is one of the many who you can learn from in business and life for lessons. Today I wanted to breakdown a quick…

The 4th of July.

I’ve never really understood what it means to be an American. This is something over time I’ve learn what it is to other people in america. Having traveled out of the country a few times and visited new places, I got a sense of what it meant to be a better person. Though what does it mean to be an american? There was a time where you were told to get up out of your seat and sing the national…

No expectations

The hardest lesson is not the lesson itself, but failing to learn the lesson. I’ve carried a bit of expectations over the years. They hurt, bleed, and can ruin many great things. Recently, the past few years actually, I’ve finally have learned that having expectations will get you nowhere. Expecting something in return should never be the goal, unless the goal is to learn. That carries more…

Finding your voice

Finding the time to find yourself can be a tricky road. Though I’ve come to see it as a way of creating yourself. “the answer lies at the ends of the earth” I’ve been to the ends of the earth, twice. Antarctica. Its snow covered lands of an alien world, the erie quietness that can give you chills, and the sheer fact you are of the select few who have stood upon a untouched land, mostly…

Writing from the truth and pain of real life.

Some of the beat writing I’ve seen in books, movies, and games has had a form of truth behind it. Even characters have been created by it. Ex: Harley Quinn. Sometimes it comes from reading too much or listening to carefully, though you can pick up a pattern once in a while from the author or author(s) writing inter work. This can stem from so many avenues, though they all remain the same, they…

Not losing control.

There are times when you feel it, you can feel it in you blood. The pressure starts to build, your focus starts to waver. Your emotions begin to rise. You’re losing control. You’re Hulking out. Though there are times when you can catch yourself from going further, stop, and even prevent yourself from getting to that point. It takes time to learn this and find the way back to the path of…

Taking a break for yourself.

Have you felt it? Have you seen the colors at night? You know the feeling, the all familiar feeling don’t you? The feeling of no sleep or rest in forever. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who never went extended periods of time with no sleep and rest in my entire life. Granted I may almost be 30, though I’ve met quite a few people who have mastered the art of no sleep effectively. For one,…

Teardown: Game of Thrones, Part 1

There’s something missing this year, can you feel it? Can you see it? …. No Game of Thrones this year. Gasp, cries inside.

Your daily practice creates your life.

How many of you grab your phone first thing in the morning? Show of hands? I’m guilty of this. On and off. That is the first lost of the day. Unless you are reaching to turn off your alarm. The first few moments of your day should be with yourself and/or loved ones in peace and quiet. Enjoy the morning with the sunrise. This is a win and sets your morning off to the right foot. Being a writer,…

Create your writing Playlist

Do you write to the music? or Do you move that body to the music? There have been times when I’ve been watching movies and I can’t help but love the soundtracks that leave your hair standing on the back of your neck. Example for me: Hans Zimmer, that man is pure genius. Most people I’ve seen writing in public, I’ve noticed they have their music playing, (At least I hope it’s music) unless…

Enjoy the process.

You’ve seen it, felt it, and dreaded it. Overtime you sat down to start your mission, the hands raise to start, only to stop midway. The fear sets in. The doubt. The oldest enemy, the first, and the last. The blank page. Every writer, creative, and student fears if not dreads the blank page of white. Why? The fact of starting something wonderful? The ability to translate your creative skills onto…

Work with the sunilight or moonlight? Do yuor best work in the shower or drive to work? The ever…

What not to do with your writing.

You are a writer, you know you are. You always have been and you always will be. You’ve been writing all your life, you just didn’t know it. Until the day you found out why you’re writer, then you wrote your first word. From there the landscape began to shape from your words, your pages, and your time. Then… One day, it stopped… Just stopped. The light had been casted out from the landscape and…

Nerd Talk: Why can't Professor X get a new pair of legs?

Nerd Talk: Why can’t Professor X get a new pair of legs?

It has been on my mind for a while now. I’ve seen a few new Marvel movies, watched some old ones again, and I have one question: Why hasn’t anyone given a new pair of legs to Profressor X to walk? Yes, X-Men: Days of Future Past showed that using a synethized drug will take his powers away, yet here is another thing: Hank. The guy who is literally building everything for the X-Men to use and…

Win the day for yourself.

“De-De-De-Beep, De-De-De-Beep, De-De-De-Beep” – Your Alarm Clock “I believe in you. I believe you can have more time, more energy, and more fun out of your day. You can do this, now get out of bed.” – Me The struggle is real. That warm comfort of the blankets, the soft cloud pillow that you just bought, and the memory foam mattress that hugs you to stay. I know this to be true, it happens to me…
