https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnGGjwk0sQ My house had been noisy today so I decided to go drive to a quiet area to type today’s blog post. I drove a few minutes from my house found a place of solitude, and settled down to write. As I began writing I was somewhat afraid because it was dark and another car … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o5A-4-OE-I I’m tired and frustrated. I’ve spent the last hour trying to write a decent blog post. Unfortunately, my attempts keep coming out whack. I can’t seem to write anything of substance. I’m kind of pissed. I want to go to sleep. I’m trying to fight back the evil voice in my head. Close the … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJhJew5p9g8 If we were to be completely objective I think we could identify the majority of actions that are only to our own detriment. Procrastination on an important project, mindless web surfing, taking drugs, etc. When we’re able to remove ourselves from the situation and gain perspective we’re thinking with our objective self. Unfortunately we … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_NVSIqCROA A few days ago I was feeling the worst I’d felt in probably an entire year. I’d isolated myself and destroyed the social momentum I’d acquired over the previous week, massively failed a challenge with my friend Huan, and repeatedly procrastinated my return to the community here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EM4jThSZC0 It’s been about two weeks since I’ve written anything for this blog. That’s the longest I’ve ever gone without posting. For that reason I’d like to apologize. Initially I’d planned to take 4-5 days, maybe a week tops off of blogging to focus on getting my social life going again. My approach worked. I … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpZGjZzdrQg I’m pretty weird. I have a strange sense of humor, I juggle, I have elaborate conversations with myself and when I’m walking through the halls at school I like to pretend I’m spider man. Yet, I’m not a psycho. Really. Anywaaay, seeing as I’m currently dwelling in the shitland of productivity I thought I’d … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM8WxCtJbVA I finished reading Steven Pressfield’s The War Of Art yesterday. It was easily the most valuable book I’ve read this year. If producing any form of creative work is important to you I’d highly recommend you get a hold of a copy. In the meantime, however, here are some key takeaways. “Are you paralyzed … [Read more…]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWaWULogqJY (Note from Cam: I’m rusty with these videos, so I’d recommend reading the blog post instead today. Regardless, enjoy!) I apologize for the link bait headline. It was the first thing that popped in my head and it sounded catchy so I decided to keep it. With that being said, I’ve recently gone on … [Read more…]

Consider these ideas to be “Entertainment.” Ultimately, you’re responsible for any actions you take as a result of this blog post.

I don’t normally dedicate entire posts to the work of others, but there’s too much value in this video not to share it. It’s a video by former Navy SEAL Richard Machowizc. I can’t recommend watching this speech enough, but I’ll provide some brief notes on the talk below anyway… A man can only be … [Read more…]
