It’s The Little Things in Life (who knew naming a dog after you was neat?)

It’s the little things in life… So there I was, snifflin’ and a sneezin’ due to this nasty cold that I’ve managed to catch. I guess it may have something to do with the fact it was in the 80s on Saturday and then down to the upper 20s just two days later (roughly 27 down to -3 for the

The Secret

So I just finished watching “The Secret”. Interesting…yet nothing that I didn’t already believe. I’ve always believed in the power of positive thought, of healing thoughts, of visualizing what you want. There were a few new views on this introduced to me such as the idea that we are being composed of energy, that the law of attraction works with

Yet Another Reason To Live Life

A day has passed since I first heard the news. Turns out one of my favorite uncles has stage 3 cancer. Last night was a period of “well this really sucks” feelings and today it all settles in my head. I find it rather interesting that I find out the same day I post my whole “find your lifestyle and

Choosing a Lifestyle to Live

I just returned from a snowboarding trip in Colorado and wow did it have me thinking. I love snowboarding, I miss snowboarding. I miss the culture. In my few days there, I was already buddying up with a few of the locals. It reminded me of the time I was one of the locals back in Santa Cruz. It also

Valentine’s Day Thoughts

It’s Valentine’s Day (just in case you were in your own little world and didn’t realize that) and it’s interesting watching those around me, pondering my past and present, and taking it all in for what it is. I’m not sure if I’m in the minority or what, but I certainly find it an interesting time. I’m not a cynical

The Mind/Body Connection

I’ve always been a big proponent of the mind/body connection. As a kid I never thought about it but I feel fortunate to have been able to run around like a freak in western New York and spend hours every day running through the fields, around the neighborhoods, riding my bike, and generally being active. To be honest, I don’t

Ambition

I was recently talking with a friend about what we look for in someone, what annoys us, etc. I of course had my laundry list of things that I’ve deemed fairly important over the years of having gone through both good and bad relationships, no relationships, and just life in general. On my way to work one personal quality kept

What Makes a Leader?

This is something I originally posted on a less formal blog a bit over a year ago. I’ve been reminded of various leadership abilities over the past few weeks and feel it’s worth bringing up again. Since this post I’ve assumed a leadership role in becoming captain of my soccer team for two seasons (going on three now) and in

Keep a Positive Attitude

It’s amazing how many people go through life in a cranky mood. I was in the elevator earlier this morning smiling and chatting away with people and they just looked at me and asked if I had too much coffee. It’s sad that in this day and age people are more surprised if you’re smiling than they would be if

Welcome

Welcome to Waxporhetoric. This is a chance for us to air out our passions and desires in life, wax on about relationships (past, present, future), ponder who we are and where we’re going. Life can be grand, we just have to let it be. I’ll probably start off by posting some previous blogs that I had posted elsewhere to get the
