Andrea Balt (Creative Rehab | Rebelle Society) and I (Kale & Cigarettes) are organizing a challenge – 30 Days of Writing! Simply put, if we don’t start writing more we are going to rot inside and die having left thousands of words unwritten and unlived. We want to write them out before that happens and try making a …
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela My last month of working with kids taught me a lot about education and my abilities as a teacher. After I learned a few key pieces of information on how the brain processes information and the different styles …
I just got off the phone with my ex-girlfriend. I called her to tell her that on 3 separate occasions during our relationship I had other girls express interest in me romantically. Normally that wouldn’t be too big a deal, however, I remained friends with all 3 women after their confessions and never told my …

I’m an incredibly successful writer in the sense that every time I write something down I learn something about myself. I don’t give a fuck why we are here on this planet. I mean …
I’m at the health foods store picking up some organic mac and cheese. I try to eat really healthy. I have to pee but I’m not anxious because I know they have two bathrooms here. I walk around the corner to the bathrooms and see that there are 2 people in line ahead of me. …
3,000 miles away from home I found myself staring up the side of an 8-story brick building that towered above Broadway. Inside, I knew there was an original experience waiting for me. I’ve figured out in the last couple of years that I have to throw myself into new situations so I don’t get caught …
It’s been well documented that Whole Foods is expensive. But I’m not here to talk about that. In fact, I’m glad it’s expensive, keeps me from having to look at poor people while I shop for groceries. I am here, however, to offer a solution to the $20 salads many of us have bludgeoned ourselves …
