New Podcast with Austin Oducayen
Another Tuesday and another podcast. Ya know what I need to do? Write an actual blog. That's what I need to do. I'm such a slacker.

How to Remember Your Dreams and Use Them to Your Advantage
If I had to use one word to describe dreams it would be: Elusive. The things just don’t want to stick around. They're like a used up Post-It or an irresponsible step-father. They take over your mind at night, run amok, and then slip away like a thief in the night the second you return… Continue reading How to Remember Your Dreams and Use Them to Your Advantage

But, that title doesn't quite roll off the tongue, does it? Let's be honest. The 30's aren't even old these days.

Why You Don’t Need a Perfect Body
I'm becoming de-sensitized to six packs. Yeah, I said it. I see the abs. They're there. I see them as an accomplishment and they're great, but they're just not what they used to be.
