Published 11/19/2011 – I wrote this back in May. Honestly, I didn’t publish it back then because when I first re-read it, it seemed as if I was trying too hard to be deep. However, this was written from the heart in one sitting with no editorializing. So, this is about as real as it [...]

Boom, I did it.  On Monday this past week, a friend of mine from work (Suzanne) asked me and my boss if we wanted to run a 5k with her.  She was doing it for the first time ever and thought it would be fun for all of us to do. We said yes, since [...]

Hello readers, welcome back to the random thoughts of Alex. I’m currently in the waiting room of Patient’s First waiting for my friend to have his finger stitched up. This is a good thing though (for me at least) as it gives me some time to unwind and update. This has been a very hectic [...]

What the heck is that title alluding to? It’s alluding to the grass that I have in my office, of course! I got a new office with a nice window that allows me too look out into the nice park in our complex.  Of course, that makes me wish I was outside, so I did [...]

Well, it’s official.  I’ll be turning thirty this year! Yes, that was an exclamation point at the end of the previous sentence.

I would like to (once again) apologize to all of you for the lengthy departure. Hopefully, absence makes the heart grow fonder… or is it Absynthe? Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, I am coming back from a long hiatus to share some of the workings of the brain of Bello with you all. Since [...]

I don’t even know where to start right now, but before I continue, let me make this clear: I am not pro-BP; I don’t own stock in the company; I am sad this happened in the first place; and finally, I feel that if found guilty, BP should be required to pay everything back, including [...]

“We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.” - Eric Hoffer Why do we lie to ourselves as human beings? Is it because we think ourselves too weak to accept the truth, whatever it may be? I think that question is much too vast to tackle on this particular post. However, I will try and [...]

First of all, I want to apologize to those of you that take pleasure in reading my thoughts with any sort of regularity.  I have been quite consumed with the upcoming 2010 Business and Entrepreneurship Summit that is being hosted by THLPE in a few weeks.  That being said, I still should have done at [...]

I apologize to those of you that have grown accostumed to my inclusion of quotes at the beggining of every post, but I am forgoing this recent tradition for the sake of time. We recently celebrated the 51st anniversary of the landing on the moon and I can’t help but be jealous of the kids [...]
