How I Celebrate My Holiday Season

Holidays have never been a great experience in my life, but over the years I’ve made them into something that’s unique and special to me. While everyone is arguing about the color of their Starbuck’s cup, and counting the days till their next holiday party, I am doing what I always do- honoring my dead. Most of my dead aren’t family members, but they are all family to me for one reason or another.

Death is the part of life that you don’t think about when you see someone smile for the very first time. As I have grown into the person I have become I make sure to capture that moment inside my head when I meet a beautiful soul.

Do whatever you want with your holidays- just make sure they mean something special to you because that is what's truly important. At the end of the day coffee cups don’t mean shit, they end up in the trash anyways.

  Just because I look a certain way, doesn't make me any less of a professional. I dress for the occasion, and I know when I have to look more conservative for meetings or events. Today was not that day! If my look scares you, then I don't want to do business with you anyways. I dress loud to weed out the fake people from my life. Ya'll have a good day now!! This is a picture of my friend and book client Ken Kraus, we are currently on a book tour for our book A Marine Endures Hell.

8 Things Random People Say to Me Because I am Heavily Tattooed

I come into contact with all sorts of people when I leave my office. When making eye contact I smile politely, say hello like a normal person, or just mind my own business. Occasionally, I run into some pretty negative people though. While these types used to bother me, I just carry on with my day because I’m pretty positive that I don’t need to prove my self-worth to some random jerk. Here are the top 8 things random people say to me because I am heavily tattooed. 1.    1. “Doesn't that hurt?” People always say this with a snarled upper lip too, as if my appearance is truly disgusting to them. I always wonder what these types of people do for a living, and I hope it doesn’t involve caring for children, the sick, or the elderly because this question is straight up foolish. Of course it hurts- they certainly weren't licked on by baby unicorns. 2.      2.  “You must have trouble finding a job.” To think that my appearance would hinder my ability to find gainful employmen

6 Ways to Become Successful

Here are a few tips that will help you become successful, these are the things I did or continue to do anyways. 1. Quit blowing your money on stupid things. If you want to achieve any goal, you must first establish a budget, and only buy the things you actually need so you can save the rest for whatever your future entails. Even if you’re not sure what you’re saving for, you should still do it, because one day it will come to you and you’ll be ready. There have been periods in my life where my entire wardrobe fit in a single backpack, and I wiped my ass with newspaper because my focus was not on the "here and now", it was on where I wanted to be. 2. Stay out of the bar. Being the popular one at the bar is like being popular in high school- it doesn’t mean shit in the real world. People who create their own success don’t drink their lives away. Success is mind, body, and focus. It’s hard to focus when you’re drunk or hungover all the time, and anyone who says they
