The Special Olympiks Address

By Nathaniel :: April 24th, 2008 :: Play :: Comments (0)

0 score and four years ago, our fathers brought forth on this patch of grass a new party, conceived in lushness and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. We called it Special Olympiks, and dreamed it would see 50 Spring afternoons running here in the middle of Missouri.

A brother’s gotta branch out and do new things, and I got to do that recently when I set out to make a video for one of my sugar daddies. I spent a day sitting on the set, watching take after take, offering up opinions. It was fun, and here is the final […]

Every Action in This World Will Bear a Consequence

By Nathaniel :: February 15th, 2008 :: Living Exceptionally • Personal Growth :: Comments (0)

I’ve struggled to find a good topic to discuss lately, but a quip I saw yesterday made me think it was time to revisit an old maxim. The quote which caught my eye was:
“Initiative is the most significant differentiator in life. Ideas are plentiful, but action is the catalyst.”
Unfortunately the bold ideas that are […]

Mow up the Lawn, St. Louis Style

By Nathaniel :: January 18th, 2008 :: Entrepreneurship :: Comments (0)

Right up there with starting a paper route and opening a lemonade stand, starting a lawn mowing business is a good ole American display of ingenuity usually reserved for the neighborhood kids. The funny thing is, I’ve heard stories through the years of people making a really good living off lawn care. Obviously […]

Extraordinary is Just Ordinary

By Nathaniel :: January 8th, 2008 :: State of Mind :: Comments (0)

Is anyone really extraordinary? Aside from our closest of kin, who play such instrumental roles in our daily lives, it seems like every other outward human act has been cheapened and overplayed in our world.

Humorous T-Shirts to Make Us Rich

By Nathaniel :: December 11th, 2007 :: Play :: Comments (0)

The ironic t-shirt phrase phase of ‘02-’05 may have come and passed, but I’ve got a nostalgic appreciation for these state shirts I stumbled across yesterday. Either the internet was making me slap happy, or some of these are legitimately funny, especially the probably unintentional misuse of ‘our’ in Wyoming. Take them […]
