After a momentous year that was 2019, control was never an option going into the Double 20s. From 8 of 14 in 2018 to 11 of 14 in 2019, I'm confident that my promises for 2020 will be the year I can hit all 14. I've decided to base my goals on strengthening my craft [...]
100 Songs I Felt The Vibe in 2019
It's no secret that music is a passion for a lot of people and I'm no different. During my tenure at KUOI (2013-16), I've grown to really appreciate the wide variety of music. Sure, I'm more of a classic rock and metal head as you'll see with my list, but my tastes are mega weird. [...]
The Battle of Finding Both Freedom and Acceptance
Winter is usually the worst time of the year for me and as the title suggests, a lot has to do with understanding what "freedom" is. What is freedom? What warranted a check mark on my promises that I couldn't get done? I don't know right now and turned to be the only true failure [...]

Age of Learning the Hard Way: What Year No. 24 Taught Me
At this time a year ago, I was glad that I wasn't going to be 23 anymore because I knew the dumb stigma that "nobody likes you when you're 23" will be over. Now in my last day of being 24, the person I was then is a complete contrast and while I'm still "living [...]
Finding Motivation During Troubling Times
I hate to say it, but the past two months have been the worst I've had since starting my "List of Promises." I've literally felt used and mentally abused, to the point that I didn't make any damn progress on my goals. Even the driving aspect has taken a huge backseat due to timing constraints [...]
Housing Puts Driving in the Rear View Mirror
Summertime is here and it's typically my strongest period of the year. It's where I strive to get stuff done like I know best – simply owning the competition and doing it with flair.
