Finding a place to earn the name Finn

October 29, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

It’s 2am. I’m playing with pool up in Duneland with some local friends and semi-pros who I feel threatened by, both in talent and in the feared proximity to their armaments. I’m here with some good guys who let me play trivia with them on occasion, but in the same breath they still don’t know […]

Letting Go & Trusting Others

October 17, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

Letting Go &Trusting Others. The hard part about starting this post is picking which of the many examples to choose from. I think I’ll start with first experiences… I grew up as a jock in Chicago during the era of Michael Jordan. My freshmen high school coach, Dale Gott, always pointed out the nuances that […]

Treating the days equally

October 13, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

I saw on Facebook that a good friend of mine who I typically admire was medically going through something that not only did I not envy but made me question my envy of him. He was going through tests for his deteriorating health. His posture might be forever wrecked. It sounds non-descript but when one […]

“Back in the neighborhood / workin’ for the Savior”

April 7, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

For the last decade or so I have had two refuges: the OldOld Man’s family home in Southwest Florida & the pad up in Duneland belonging to one of my two childhood best friends, 5 minutes from Lake Michigan. Those refuges recharged me, refueled me, refocused me and kept me on the path to whatever […]

“All I want is love, sleep and good music.”

February 27, 2013 By Finn 4 Comments

Another 13-hour work day in a line of 13-hour work days that won’t slow down for another year or two. WordPress setups, Joomla QC, copywriting teaching, project managing & another 1,800 words of writing and I barely dented the task list. That’s not even figuring that my task list is as thin as it is […]

How “Spanish Harlem” influenced productivity both for me and clients (thank you, Jerry & Phil)

February 22, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

It’s 12:30am. I’m going to be up before 7am to help get Bella out the door so she can be at the office early to begin preparations. As I start to drift off and dream about my work problems and, consequently, potential solutions, the images were accompanied by Aretha Franklin’s rendition of Ben. E. King’s […]

February 13, 2013 By Finn 2 Comments

The OldOld Man is coming home early this year. With his birthday, family visits and his early departure time, travel plans have been expedited. […]

30-day challenge: 02/2013

February 2, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

La Problema: I’m a stat checker. I’ve always been that way as a sport’s fan but it got worse at Livemercial when checking analytics and rankings. I’m so afraid of being disconnected that on bad days I’ll check analytics, indexing and rankings 6 times an hour. It’s also usually a sign that my life is […]

The death of Sam Cooke & the question of wondering how much I want to know about the humanity of my heroes

January 17, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

Other facts surrounding the death of Sam Cooke: The money Sam Cooke took out that night to buy Christmas Gifts was never recovered. Boyer & Franklin were rumored to run the scam to pickpocket wealthy guests and claim rape because, Hell, who’s saving anybody in a hotel in Watts? Boyer & Franklin passed the lie […]

[Open ‘Thank You’ Letter to] Ellie Goulding. Aragon Ballroom. Chicago, IL. January 29, 2013.

January 16, 2013 By Finn Leave a Comment

As I was finding my seat on the plane, my consultant was quickly rising to your defense before I shut the phone off. She told me how, “Your Song,” was the theme song to Prince William & Kate Middleton’s wedding and that Elton John gave the version his blessing. I told her that argument softened […]
