Mind. Body. Soul.

I've always made it a point to harp on the importance of mind, body, and soul...and now, more than ever, it's at the extreme and has taken on an invaluable and irreplaceable role.

Mind is working harder than ever before. Refining certain techniques. Learning a new language. It's all fun.

Body is being pushed in ways that hasn't been pushed before. Five days a week at the gym working out. That part's not new, but the methods are. There's a curiosity in incorporating a routine that I've never been consistent with before.

My soul is free. Even in times of uncertainty, and a time that could be better, I feel free.

It's never felt better to be alive.

Unspoken communication

When you can speak to someone without saying a word explicitly, and they absolutely know where you're coming from, the feeling is priceless.

Inspiration (for K.A.F.)

You wrote about kisses, and I gotta admit, the words turned into images, and the images came to life. That's the sign of something good, something authentic, something real. It's evidence that your words aren't said for the sole purpose of looking good; they're mean to move your soul and be something you absolutely feel.

Whatever the intent was, just know it exuded intimacy, genuineness, and the ability to make me smile...and even though the trip to your side was unplanned, I'm glad I ended up there and decided to stay a little while.

Always here.

Basketball, books, music, and writing are my constant companions these days.

These are the ones I absolutely love, can count on, and have never, ever let me down.

Just because.

Smile. Laugh. Relax. Chill.

It's on.

Recently, I had a talk with my big brother down at SXSW (he's not my blood brother; dude simply has endless amounts of old-school wisdom, but he's still young enough to pass as my older brother). Anyway, he opened my eyes on how to proceed with some moves that I've been a part of for the past year, but never really thought of doing much more than what I had been doing.

Admittedly, I've always found it difficult to do something big, yet have something retain it's ultimate ability to be organic. However, that's something that, if you're good enough at what you do, you can find a way for it to never lose that trait; never lose its authenticity. It was a conversation that needed to be had.

Plus, it helps that's he's doing something similar, has faced some of his own concerns with doing what he's doing, and it has made what he does even bigger and just as authentic.

Moves will be made. All that was needed was a little push.

Well, damn.

In life, you're sure to experience plenty of highs and plenty of lows. There are bound to be times when you feel like you're on top of a mountain, and there are times when you feel like you're in a pit.

Regardless of the outcome, favorable or unfavorable, you know you have to move on...

...but sometimes, you're not thinking that far ahead. You just let it sink in, and adjust accordingly later.

...right now is one of those times.
