Hello fellow Wax Porhetoric peeps (I really need to find a name for us, don’t I? “Wax Porhetoricers” just doesn’t cut it. Suggestions anyone?), I am now back in town and ready to reflect on life. And oh is there life to reflect on…yes yes there is. You can read about some of my trip back to Carnegie Mellon for

So there I was writing what I thought was going to be a quick post (once I get going…egads! There’s no stopping me) on The Social Beast about holding out and not taking such a horrific job in this economy simply to survive. At one time I had that terrible job and it affected all parts of my life. My

I had a great day yesterday and was pondering why it was such a great day. I didn’t get a great new job offer or anything. Didn’t win the lottery. Didn’t achieve some new goal in life. So what was so great about my day? The fact I spent it with great people…from the moment I woke up to the

Hello fellow Wax Porhetoric faithful, I apologize for the lapse in postings. I, like many others out there, am dealing with the nuttiness that life hands us. Sometimes I’m just too tired, other times too busy, and sadly sometimes my brain is too frazzled to contribute. Alas, this posting is a great reminder not only to myself but to others

Hello and happy day to you fellow Wax Porhetoricers (I’m going to keep making up words here and there…some have already taken hold over the years…rock on, rock on…). I apologize for my absence lately. A few things have come up, one of which will spawn another posting once I’m ready. Until then, we can revisit the notion of “putting

Hello to all the loyal readers and newcomers to Wax Porhetoric. Today we shall wax poetically (and you will enjoy my rhetoric…oh yes you shall!) about finding what it is that makes you happy in life and how you should just do it. Many people in this world will say that is a childish view of things. Is it really

In good times and bad, we’ve got to keep the faith. Often that is easier said than done, especially in the bad times, but it’s true. Hello again my fellow wanderers through life. It’s time for us to yet again slow down, take a breath, and recollect ourselves. Times are a bit rough out there (still no full-time job for

Hello and happy Saturday to my loyal (and new) readers. Today I’ll be waxing poetically about the joys of appreciating what you already have. Too often we all sit around thinking “I wish I had a new car. I wish I had that computer. I wish I could go on a trip. I wish…” instead of thinking “I’m quite grateful

Hello my loyal (and new) readers. It’s time once again to revisit the lessons that The Secret has to teach. I apologize for taking so long to write since my last post, but life has certainly been busy…and I’m happy to say it’s all been good stuff that’s been keeping me busy. I’ll try not to go so long between

It’s 2009 now just in case you’ve all been sleeping for the past couple weeks. I pondered writing something right around the New Year but why let my message get lost in the jumble of a bazillion people rambling on about New Year’s resolutions (half of which are probably already broken by now)? Nahhhh…I decided to wait it out a
