Another year of looking at progress and setting intentions for the incoming year
All in Personal
Time Capsule
I wrote myself a letter, ten and a half years ago. This photo is about from that time too. Funny how things come together. Big love to all our journeys. May they be fruitful.
2022 In Review
Another year, another review. Big gratitude for all of the parts of my life, including you if you have been here at all. Please enjoy looking back on the progress of making me!
In Pursuit of Excellence
A repost of an old piece, but it resonates with me now. I am trying my best at the individual things, putting together the pieces of my life, and trying to not only achieve but excel. It is a challenge, every minute of every day. But I feel worthwhile of the effort.
2021 in Review
That was an interesting one for sure. Happy New Year everyone. Great Tidings to you and the person you want to become. Here is the final blog post of 2021, where I examine latest year of my life, the years that came before, and the year that is to come. Big love, and see you in 2022
The seasons change, and with it comes a difficult time. I least I can write about it. This and one more post for 2021 to wrap up the year
29 is a bad birthday
A bit of a write up of a pretty difficult and memorable year. I’m blessed and happy to have what I have, but no lie, 28 was a challenge.
Regression
A recount of the accident that changed the course of my life. It was a horrific experience, and though I am still in the growth phase, I hope that I can continue to get better.
2020 in Review
Another year, another open letter to myself. 2020 has been. unique. There are many blessing to be accounted for, and space to grow from lessons learned. Please read if you would like!
Dear Tony, A Bad Taste
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Please enjoy a story, past and present, to hopefully soften the dinner table in these tumultuous times. Be health, be good, savor whatever happiness you can find this holiday
28 years. Certainly Uncertain.
Another journey around the sun. Thinking about where I am, and where I’m going. Back to our travel bits next time!
2019 in Review
What a year! I have nearly only positive things to say. A few criticisms. Lots of photos! What a beautiful life. I look forward to 2020! Please read for a summary of 2019 and what I look forward to in 2020! Happy New Year!
Bad Days, Go Away. Always Back Another Day
My friends have had some bad days recently, and I am no exception. Even as I continue my adventures around the world. This one is not chronological to the story of my travels, but I believe it is important to share now. Cheers you lovely humans.
Happy Birthday to me! It’s been a crazy hell of a year, and I take a little time to reflect, and mostly to look forward. Overall, I will say 26 was an exceptional year. But perhaps looking onward from 27 is a little more scary; even as I’m still in the midst of a fantastic adventure.
Non-Attachment
Taking a break from the Tony letters, I find myself thinking about how and why I’ve been traveling. What that has meant towards our ultimate goal of detachment of the things outside of ourselves while having the greatest adventures
Apply my New Years Resolution hasn’t been easy, but it’s been rewarding. I’ve grown to love committing to excellent behaviors and how that’s let me learn from excellent experiences and people. It’s a habit I’m continuing to build and hone to reach new heights.
We become the things we tell ourselves, and that’s fascinating. It’s a wondrous and awesome responsibility to tell ourselves good, if not the best of stories to reach our highest potentials. To take risks. To try things that challenge us and make us grow. I’m seeking bigger adventures, a journey I’m excited to depart.
Sexuality is such an easy insult to level but such a difficult personal journey to parse. Our sexual preferences change, grow, and challenge us in a reflection of our own path for self. Just a little personal piece on my process.
A experimental long form poem, short vignette. Something about This dirty city and it’s fertile soil, against the highs and lows of it’s turmoil.
I hope you like it!

Peter and I went head to head for cooking skills. We competed for title of head and sous chef. Two plates each, app and entree, three judges, hour and a half time limit. I narrowly won 102-98.
