The Inconvenience of Change →
I wrote something for someone’s project. That was three years ago and I stumbled on it again today. Do have a look, flip to page 13, and you’ll see a familiar story.
Funny thing is, the sentiments and circumstances I shared in that story hasn’t changed one bit. Except that I’m older, not necessarily wiser.

I laugh a lot these days, coupled with talking out loud and speed walking. I feel like I have to do things at a fast-forward kind of pace, sort of like watching movies on VHS tapes and then someone accidentally sits on the remote control and everything goes into a blur.
If I could get $5 for every person to ask me if I’m buzzed, I would have enough to pay for my cab ride home. FYI, I live...

At 2AM
Last night I was in front of the computer typing away what was a rather easy topic. I began with a few sentences, hit the backspace key and reworded some of it. Then I selected all the text, hit ‘delete’ and started over. This happened, maybe five more times, before I finally settled into the kind of opening statement that I was happy with. In brief, I spent a good hour and a half...

The Busy Trap →
“I can’t help but wonder whether all this histrionic exhaustion isn’t a way of covering up the fact that most of what we do doesn’t matter.”

To make it simple, it was like having a quarter life crisis. I got itchy and decided that I should close my blog for awhile to work on tearing it apart and putting it back together.
