Narrating and Demonstrating the Work We Do
Disclaimer #1: to get some context for this post, you must first watch this Louis C.K. video. Disclaimer #2: I’m going to go ahead and give this video an “R” rating. While hilarious and accurate opinionated, these words are not for gentle ears. Now that I’m 31 I feel like I’ve earned some of the … Continue reading Older People are Smarter →
People of privilege, yeah, I mean me. I’m talking to you, me. I always find myself a bit silenced when this issue is raised. Yes, I am white and male and by many, many definitions privileged. And does my privilege impinge upon those without it. Probably. All the way down. So…I see what the problem is. … Continue reading Western-Centric Privilege | Now What? →
So, I decided to lease a studio apartment in the brand new Summit Village Residences.

Some believe Friday the 13th is an unlucky day, but I think not. Today I have requested an office visit with one of the YouShow creators, Brian. I am a bit of a technophobe, so wish for patience for Brian today. Born into a world where computers and cell phones were not attached to my […]
Looking inwards and reflecting on personal choices made is a lot like falling down that wondrous Rabbit Hole: a spicy mix of pride for risks taken, self-doubt and regret for actions and words said (or unsaid), fear for doors closing, and excitement for doors opening. Once the dust has settled and you’ve escaped with each … Continue reading Down the Rabbit Hole →
This exercise posed a few problems for me, not the least of which was the time constraint. Of course at the end of the exercise I saw quite a few things that I thought would be more appropriate than the images I am submitting now, but I decided to stick to the parameters. I found […]
