Today we have a super special guest post. He writes for a little blog that you might have heard of, 1500 Days. If you haven’t, you really should check it out sometime. Mr. 1500 has finally come through with his payment from our bet, oh… something like 18 months ago! Regardless, he came through, so if he ever owes you, take solace that you’ll get what you’re owed. As for the timeliness, that…

This week we had the distinct honor of guest posting on Fiery Millennial. Gwen has been a great friend and asked me to put into writing some of the discussions we’ve had around job hunting, specifically interviewing. Like most things it’s a skill, and needs to be practiced constantly. So head on over to Fiery Millennial and check it out:

This year I’m stepping it up. Pushing myself to the next level. Moving on up in the world. Rising to the challenge… I think you get the picture.

Technically, the challenge is…

Whenever I mention any of my volunteer work, it never fails that I always get asked one question. How do you find placements or organizations to volunteer with? And I usually initially respond with “Do your research!” There are a lot of spammy volunteer organizations out there, so you definitely want to pick one that is reliable and trusted”,…

We have a tradition here in the Kingdom Of Waffles. We have this journal (See Above) that lives in our holiday decoration box, and every year, at the turn of the year, each of us write a new entry.

So, here I sit. Writing this post, on my birthday, I just got done having a fight with my lovely wife about where our life is going, and what our next steps are. What the fuck is wrong with me? It’s my birthday, and I’m fighting with my wife over where our life is going?! How did I get here?…

My First Medical Mission I was nervous as I packed up the last bit of supplies into the duffel bag and zipped it shut. The bag was full of medical supplies, including gauze, syringes, tape, drains, among other items that I would be taking to Ayacucho, Peru to assist the team of medical professionals during our week of volunteering. …

Ahh travel… We have a saying in this house. No one remembers when things go exactly as to plan. I mean seriously, who likes a travel story that goes like this: We showed up and breezed through security. Then we boarded a flight that was completely uneventful and comfortable. Then we got to our destination, and the hotel was exactly…

The Beginning Before I jump in, I wanted to give a shout out to the Happy Philosopher, since this post was born out of a chat I had with him at last year’s FinCon. It’s funny how a simple mention of a story while talking with a friend can lead into a full on discussion about life. Thanks HP for providing…
