The life of Van Gogh
Quite broad in its depths and heights
This tortured genius
This film looks absolutely stunning. Now placed upon my “to watch” list, I look forward to shifting it to “watched”.

The value of “Theory”
Questing for the truth
We must understand such things
As Theory‘s value
Today’s Potential
Lying here thinking
Of this morning’s potential
Something wonderful
Daytime Memories
Sunlight has climbed out
The forces of daytime surge
Hints of blessed nights
A Late Autumn Walk
Walking this evening
Darkness surrounding my steps
Cool air burns my face
Waffle House and Well Managed PR
Here’s a great piece over at Inc.:
The cliff notes version:
- Guy heads to Waffle House late at night after an evening of drinking
- Waffle House staff has fallen asleep
- Guy who’s lacking in sobriety heads to the kitchen and cooks up his own meal
From my time in Corporate PR, I’m well aware of the reflective desire for retaliation. Mr. Warner, the PR Director at Waffle House, however, opted for a bright and pithy response.
“We’re glad Alex was able to enjoy his Texas Bacon Cheesesteak. We’ve apologized to Alex and have invited him back to eat with us. We also promised him we’d do the cooking the next time.”
For me, this was perfect. Humble, accepting of the company’s failure in this, and working to engage a committed customer. I expect they brought in many to the fold.
And, most important, they got right back to business.
Nicely played Waffle House. Nicely played indeed.
Seeking Out Success
Seeking out my strengths
Align my life for success
Pursuing my dreams
So much of my life wasted with fear and insecurity. No longer will they dominate my life. I will continue to seek out purpose and tranquility.
Be Yourself
Often sleep damaged
When we try to cram our souls
Into other forms
Life is hard enough without trying to force ourselves into something we’re not. Finding a place of deep love and compassion for ourselves is a key step to everything peace and tranquility.
Clear, Cold Nights
Autumn’s air quite cool
Clear nights bring frost to my car
And these nights are long
Today’s Haiku: Focus Yourself
Begin each day strong
Focus on what you do well
Facing down your fears
