Where This Life Can Take You

By Nathaniel :: July 1st, 2008 :: State of Mind :: Comments (0)

Travel is an activity that is wide-ranging in its benefits of experience, and that’s a big reason why I personally love to do it as much as possible. Seeing the next town over or crossing an ocean can have equally profound effects in broadening perspective and in just simply being fun. I think […]

Ultimate Alibis

By Nathaniel :: May 19th, 2008 :: State of Mind :: Comments (0)

People are always hating. No matter who you are, there’s someone out there that would be absolutely disgusted by you, your beliefs, or how you view the world. So I got to thinking about the various things that seem to help one avoid being hated on. The alibis of society if you […]

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.
On a local scale, the children inside our formative schools are given lavish praise (and the accompanying bumper stickers) for […]

Perception in a Sad ReaLOUty

Recently my fair town has been getting some really bad press. Ok, maybe I should rephrase that. For the last 100 years, St. Louis has looked worse and worse, both in the press and in the flesh.
When the new “St. Louis - All Within Reach” slogan came out there were 10x as many […]

Don’t Hate the Season, Hate the Timekeeper

The leaves are changing, there’s a nip in the air, and the Blues are getting almost 20% of the sports coverage in town. That’s when you know winter is coming my friend. But it’s not winter that we should all be dreading. One of the absolute worst days of the year is […]

By Nathaniel :: July 11th, 2007 :: State of Mind :: Comments (0)

You have to be “in the mood” to do just about anything effectively. I know I can’t drop down on the keypad and think of a good link bait idea, or send an inspirational email to a biz partner for that matter, unless I’m really feeling it. If you ain’t feeling it, you’re […]

Communication in the Office is Magical

By Nathaniel :: June 14th, 2007 :: State of Mind • Entrepreneurship :: Comments (0)

Do you ever sit there and think about a friend or a co-worker and think something like “This guy is really pissing me off right now”? Or perhaps it’s not even that harsh, maybe it’s more appropriate to bring up things like feeling down about your job, your relationship with someone, or just how […]

Stop Saying “I’ve Always Wanted to Do That” - Do It!

By Nathaniel :: June 8th, 2007 :: State of Mind • Personal Growth :: Comments (0)

How often have you uttered the envious phrase, “I’ve always wanted to do that!”? It could have been in response to a story told by a friend who just returned from a month-long trip to Australia, or a buddy who just brought the house down at an open mic night. Maybe it’s as […]
