PINO PER DIEM: “It Was Written” – Short Story.

Her.

Her.

First Beyonce and Shawn make it.  It was our turn, her and I. It was last year’s a year ago when I met her, and I expected nothing less than the same fate as the celebrities aforementioned.  “By next year’s time I want to do what they did,” I said at the time.  But that day was now last year, and catharsis-ing it out in word, two. Here I was with my flame, and the brief candle that was never lit.

How to Tuesday’s: Prioritize.

Focus in my eye.

Focus in my eye.

In transition to what I learned this past Sunday, I’d like to gather my thoughts on how to prioritize.  It’s 2011, and I’m sure we all can relate as creatures of habit and constant evolving-technology.  Also, we should at the very least have some short term and long-term goals that we want to accomplish. Here’s the best way we can focus and lock in on seeing results.

TAKE STOCK OF IT ALL

With those short-term and long-term goals, write them all down. Forget about the importance …

What I Learned on Sunday: Priorities.

At the time of this writing, this is the first time, all day that I’ve spent in front of a computer.  Pardon my tardiness for today’s post – I’ve been out all day running errands with my Father and my lovely wife.  :)

Yesterday was more of the same. I barely had time to write, as I spent time running four miles with my boy Kap in Central Park for the cause of Colon Cancer awareness, had a Writer’s Smock meeting, then bolted to the NCAA Elite …

A sneaker head's feet.

Meet Phil, 30.  I met him some 16 years ago, eons of life ago to me.  I first noticed him in our homeroom, as an already a gangly 6’2” giant, or maybe it just seemed so much tall considering my stature in 9th grade.  I would never know his obsession was sneakers from school; after all, we went to a Catholic School, and our only choice was Air Penny Loafers.

But I knew something was up.  During study hall, instead of getting some homework done, …

Triage Thursday’s – Stuck in the Middle of You.

On Thursday’s, I’m rolling a new section in my blog (but of course not limited to, simply added) entitled Triage Thursday’s.

Triage, preserved from its French derivative, is aptly defined as the determination of priorities for action in an emergency.  Today’s topical is far from tropical, as it also falls under relationship advice.  Here goes!

CHOOSE YOUR PATH WISELY.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH WISELY.

Choosing sides in business or relationships alike is never fun.  Both are partially right, yet equally wrong.  Which way should you go? They’re trying to extract information and advice from you …
