Absorbing media aimed at singles has become my own version of gambling. Pull the lever and hope luck is on my side! Will the media be insightful? Encouraging? Laughable? Completely cringe-worthy? You never know until you jump in! This weekend when I heard my friends’ church was doing a topical sermon on the subject, I…
It’s late on a Sunday night. Some people in the world are probably filled with dread at this moment as they anticipate the coming of Monday. But not me. They say a picture speaks a thousand words So, on that note, allow me to share in picture-form a big reason why I enjoy my workweeks:…
As a psychological experiment, a friend challenged me to dialogue to him about anything that came to mind for 10 minutes straight. The catch? He would not react or reply. It would be just me and essentially dead silence as he listened. Then, we would swap places and he would dialogue for 10 minutes in…
I love my coworkers and the fact that we regularly acknowledge our mutual weirdness. Here are some of my favorite moments from the past year of work at Classical Conversations 🙂
It’s so easy to be completely wrapped up in all things digital. I make my living by operating a large company’s social media. I keep in touch with my family through the internet.

As I’ve watched friends get married over the past several years (and watched other friends plot what their dream weddings would look like), I’ve come to a conclusion… Nerds have the best weddings. So much of the time, every wedding feels the same. Flowers, candles, sometimes bells. Fancy outfits and food, elegant yet serious…
As a child I grew up hearing horror stories about all the creeps from the internet who would kidnap young ladies. I had all the warnings that many 90’s/early 2000’s kids got about how one should never meet anyone from the internet. Yet somehow, despite all of this, I now find myself in the year…
This past week I landed my first-ever freelance photography gig! Well, technically, I’ve had others. I’ve done small-time paid photo shoots for people ever since I was in high school. However, this one is special. This is my first gig for someone entirely out of my social circles. The opportunity: product photography. Specifically,…
These days, most people are stressed. Most people are busy. Most people feel they have no time to slow down, even for just a few minutes. Even when folks are physically slowed down, mentally they are running through their to-do lists and plotting their next move. I get that feeling. I find myself sucked into…
