When I worked at Google, one of the founders boasted (or joked) that he has a dream of, and is working on, building a space tether that will reach Mars. Recently, a friend told me of a dream he has to visit outer space- which will soon be possible as there are scientists working on a space-age vacation of sorts that will allow regular people, with the financial means and good health, to travel beyond the perimeters of earth. My friend fully intends to ...
It's Thursday--halfway through my new blog design challenge-- and I've already posted 3 of my required 6 new entries to Evolution Of A Man. Methinks I'll be earning a new blog template soon!
And does this entry count as #4? You betta believe it! :-) ...
Have you ever had one of those awesomely great and productive weeks that led you to raise your head to the heavens as ask, "God, what are you up to?" Yah...I'm all up in that space this week. I'm certain that God is right at work in me and my life; and He's about to show up and SHOW OUT!
It all started last Tuesday. I went to my weekly prayer meeting, Touch and Agree, in a rather solemn mood. I felt as though my life was at a stand-still. Sure, there ...

A friend of mine had a birthday party this evening; at which I surprisingly (and tipsily) mingled and networked like I never have before. Maybe it was the alcohol, or maybe it was the current grind and ascension mode I find myself in these days, but I was really ON tonight!
I met a handful of people, with whom I engaged in a variety of ...
I awoke to the sound of rain this morning. As I looked, from my bed, out of the window, my first thought was, "aww fuck, it's raining. I got shit to do!" Then a voice within me---in the manner of my very own British manservant-- replied, "Not to fret, young William. Today, is Sunday." A sigh releasing from my lips, I plopped myself back onto the mattress and exclaimed, "Oh, Jeeves! SUNDAY!" All was beautiful and perfect in the world, once again.
As per ...
So, here's the deal. My blog needs an upgrade. Not only have I been rocking this same template for, like, 3 years; but also, I haven't been on a consistent writing cycle in damn near the same amount of time. I've been slippin' stylistically (is that a word?), and as a writer with some damn talent. Not good.
I know I've said this a bazillion times, but it's time for me to get myself together and start acting like the successful, intelligent, ...
I forgive you
I love you
And I let you go
The lesson I'm learning in my life right now is one of forgiveness. Back in January, a "friend" of mine decided he no longer wanted to be friends with me, and he cut me out of his life (note the "God Shook My Tree" post below). In my opinion, he did so hasitly and as an excuse to not have to hold himself accountable for the things he said, did and/or promised to me. Regardless, for 5 long and hard months, I was ...
The fact that this dude on Grindr said this to me is just...

Pen & Paper
It's the most basic form of writing there is. It's use has been around for centuries. It's how the classics were written; and now, as my only form of writing since my computer died, it's how I will write my book, "Evolution Of A Man."
On Tuesday at "Touch and Agree," my weekly prayer meeting, the topic of my book came up- primarily why I haven't been writing and finishing it. There are 2 reasons for this. First, I've been feeling kinda ...
The inevitable, and unfortunately necessary has finally happened!
Earlier this month on Twitter, PR agent extraordinaire, Marvet Britto (@MarvetBritto for all you Twitter fans) tweeted that a great practice for entering 2010 would be to pray and ask God to shake your tree- getting rid of anyone or anything in our lives that keeps you from moving forward and ascending to your promised destiny. Now, I didn't pray this prayer, but God decided to shake my ...
