The Magic Eight Ball of PoleDancing
The world we live in isn’t black and white, it’s in vivid, breathtaking, awe inspiring color. But sometimes I wish it wasn’t. Sometimes I wish my daily decisions were as simple as.. Yes OR No.. up OR down.. this OR that. When there are too many options, too many possibilities, I get overwhelmed and stuck. Which of the gazillion things that I could choose is the RIGHT one and how do I know for sure? Do I always have to weigh each possibility in disgusting detail? Do I really have to agonize and worry over every damn little thing in my life? As a physicist, I know that mankind has…

The Space Below Sadness
This week was hard. This week was bad. This week I had to face people in pain. People that I usually share In’n’Out fries with while shouting obscenities at the 49ers. People that I’ve been more than a little drunk-off-my-ass-and-still-got-home-safe with. People that have made a significant impact in my life. And now, they hurt. Their families hurt.

Get Rid of The Blues, or even Reds or Greens
Do you ever find yourself in a Blue Mood? You can’t seem to shake that sad feeling and you just want to wallow around in it. Maybe you’re absolutely green with jealousy that you got passed over for that promotion. Or perhaps your seething red with anger? Turning purple from withheld passion? Face ashen gray with fear? Walking around under a black cloud? Sometimes you feel permeated by a color that fills you up and eats at your bones. (okay maybe that’s a bit harsh, but you get the picture). When the mood is too hard to fight off, embrace it instead. By embracing the mood, you stop wasting energy…
