There’s a lot more free learning out there than I thought. Something that I’m discovering while applying to coding schools is than many of them have free online pre-training/pre-work/prerequisite courses. When I requested info from Sabio (southern Cali) who has an in-person and online program, I received a response with a link to a free…

I appreciated holidays when I had a full-time, government job. But now I appreciate when everyone else is at work, so I can get things done. I’m completely aware that this post makes me sound like a terrible person. Understood. Loud and clear. You will not get an argument from me. I am a selfish…

At some point in becoming that professional something you want to be, you start believing that you are it. A wise person once said there is a difference in believing in the path and walking the path. Honestly, I think that’s from a cartoon – like Kung Fu Panda. I don’t know if you ever…

I can’t work until I’m dead. I can’t die without creating something that improves someone else’s life. Can’t do it. I won’t line up for, complete a resume for, completely a survey for a job where I would be another cog in someone else’s machine. It’s not a matter of my having a mountain of…

Most of the things on my plate are voluntary. The not optional, heavy hitters still suck away a lot of emotional labor. I am looking for a little breaking point. Soon. Soon enough I’ll have one huge weight off my shoulder. I’ve seen it. I’ve dreamed about it two nights in a row.

Last night, I dreamed that my kids’ mom and I were getting along. I’m going to call it foreshadowing. We can’t possibly be enemies forever. I was in some kind of school setting, and there were some field exercises. I was able to fly, but I didn’t because I didn’t leave. I didn’t want to…

I made a couple of crucial mistakes in not hiring an attorney soon enough and rushing to hire a piece-of-sh*t attorney. Now, unfortunately, a good attorney is forced to clean up the mess.

I don’t remember what I dreamt last night, but I woke up with a kind of dark thought. Dark but somewhat satisfying. Part of me wants to be Mr Global Warning Awareness. But the darker part of me – no pun intended – thinks “Keep f**king up the ozone. Guess which race of people can…

Granpa is so weak now. His voice hasn’t lost any of its volume nor his conversational responses their curtness. His body is letting him down. I’m sure it’s difficult for anyone to watch their body fail. I imagine it’s especially tough for a man. Us men – who are hardwired for protecting, providing, and wearing…

I’m beyond blessed to be an intersection of two large families that care about the members on a level that can’t be articulated.

It would be cool to have a relationship with my aging mother. But like the buildings I knew as a child, she’s welcome to continue existing in my past.

It’s surreal seeing my cousins older and with grown up children. This trip to Hartford has been an awesome time warp. It’s been a fun ride. I don’t know if I’ll see my mother on this trip. I’d like to. I’d like to know she’s ok.
