Renaissance 2.0
My favorite painting ever is called A Sunday on La Grande Jatte (1884) by Seurat. He was one of the lesser known impressionists. Don’t get me wrong, I love Monet and Renoir like the next guy, but Seurat was the most innovative and exciting of the French bunch. He?s the one that developed pointillism, where…
One of my hobbies is writing proverbs and maxims, you know, words of wisdom. Sometimes humorous musings on the meaning of life and other things. Here’s one that came to me while shaving this morning: No man is an island, they are more like a peninsula. Some are longer than others, some are wider.
I don’t like commercials in general, but every once in awhile a great one shows up. I saw the new commercial from Mitsubishi for their Gallant and for some reason it makes me smile. I really love the music they use in the spot too. I’ve been trying to find out what song it is…
My favorite type of days are those that include some tears and laughter. A rich full day will include a full range of emotions.

Every once in a long while a new music artist erupts onto the scene and blows me away. Nelly Furtado is my current favorite artist! I haven’t been so mesmerized since Madonna blew me away in 1983! I’ve loved Nelly’s music for months now, but I recently saw her music video and website and I…
I don’t want this to come off as a downer or depressing, but rather as a motivational and inspirational point. I was thinking about the meaning of life (I know, again!) and as always I try to peel back the layers to reveal the simplest truths. One thing is certain, life is short and our…
Here it is again, Monday. Hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as I did. Why do we all love the weekend so much anyway? Most likely because it usually means two days without work, which also means we can stay out real late too. I remember reading that Henry Ford was kind of responsible…
I got this today from a dear friend. I hope you enjoy it and agree with its message. It is exactly how I try to live my life every day. DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. “This,” he said,…
