Think of some things that you’re really passionate about, the things you do just for fun? Watching movies, playing games, going for hikes, taking out the boat? Now, what if they couldn’t be shared with anyone and you had to do all of those things completely alone. Would they still be as much fun? Would you still enjoy them? I’m willing to guess probably not nearly as much… It’s our community, our social glue that makes our experiences so fulfilling. We venture out...

When was the last time you picked up a good book and really invested yourself into it? Not a magazine or a TMZ article, not a news update or a blog rant but a real life, paperback, ink on your fingers, read until you fall asleep kind of book. A week, a month, a year?

As we walked she proceeded to vent at length about how tired she was of the ‘superficial people’, the ‘tired social scene’...
Life…Not As Advertised Life is exciting, life is adventurous, life is spontaneous and life is trilling. Life can whisk you away to new and interesting places, or push you to do things you never thought were possible. Life is amazing, fantastic and exhilarating! …or at least that’s what we’d like our lives to be. Unfortunately the reality is that our lives are more often a pretty simple and uneventful experience. We get up, scramble to get ready, go to work,...
12 goals in 12 months, I had decided and there was no turning back. Now just pick 12 goals and start dominating, right? Only one problem, I had no idea what my 12 goals should be. After all this wasn’t a small decision, this is what I would be doing with the entire next year of my life.
