Learning to Make MONEY with Something You ENJOY
Making money is one of the more sad things that we have to deal with in our lives on this little pale blue dot we call Earth. The laws of nature dictate that we have to put in time and effort into very boring things like finding resources to survive. As most of us have […]

Successful Ignorance
“The world will always need ditch diggers.” This saying, or whatever version you might be familiar with, has been around for as long as we have had modern industry. As people have moved from primarily farm based activity to jobs in production, we have been constantly striving to move beyond the need for menial labor […]

How Do You Find Work You Love?
Clearly, there can be no standard answer for the title of this article. If anyone had actually figured out a short and simple way of finding and getting into a career that you love, everyone would be doing it. The unfortunate reality of life is that most of us will be forced to labor under […]

I can remember back to my early days with things like five inch floppy disks and big, heavy CRT monitors. My favorite games were Doom and Heretic and Master […]

Understanding Your Habits
Those readers who follow and read my blog on a regular basis might have noticed that I don’t post quite as regularly as I did in the very beginning. There are a few reasons for this, most of which are rationalizations for the primary reason. I could say that I prefer this or it would […]

Knowing What to Do and When to Do It
I don’t have a specific topic to cover today; not because I couldn’t find one but mostly because at the time of writing it’s Monday morning and I’m not particularly motivated to write. As I’ve said a few times during the course of this blog, my goal is to be honest and real and I […]
