It’s still innocent until proven guilty, last I checked… →  June 3, 2010

Hot: 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 [...]

The Truth Always Hurts.. or Does It? →  May 19, 2010

Hot: “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 cover why [...]

All it Takes is a Spark… →  April 20, 2010

Hot: 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 [...]

Where Do Dreams Go When They Die? →  March 2, 2010

Hot: 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 [...]

The Journey of a Lifetime… →  February 12, 2010

Hot: It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end. – Ursula K. Le Guin. Why do I always seem to start my blogs with a quote?  It’s because I am wise enough to know that any thought I have has probably already been said [...]

My Heart is Bursting at the Seams… →  February 5, 2010

Hot: Consider the trees which allow the birds to perch and fly away without either inviting them to stay or desiring them never to depart.  If your heart can be like this, you will be near to the [...]

Happy Hour, Guns, and Peace… →  January 30, 2010

Hot: So much for updating this often. I apologize for keeping you on the edge of your seat for so long now! The THLPE January Networking Social was a great success over at 101 Restaurant. We were on the couches outside and it was quite a nice day. Today, I took some time to go [...]

The juicy stuff.. →  January 19, 2010

I have been trying to write about the happenings in the world around me and my views on current events.  However, it seems like I get more feedback when I share more of the juicy details of what make Alex Bello tick.  That's hilarious to me -- seeing that I'm a pretty simple guy.  Yes, I am intelligent.  Yes, I am confident...

Every post deserves a title… →  January 19, 2010

Hot: “A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.”  - Sydney Smith I’m not exactly sure anything I am to write will tie into the words quoted above, but they are so [...]

Lessons on life, love, and legerdemain… →  January 7, 2010

Hot: So much for this being a quotidian (1,4, & 5th definition, definitely not the others) blog! Never fear, the grand citizen of the world (a small world, albeit) has once again arrived to impart some highly desired, although probably highly unneeded, wisdom on you. The topic du jour (doesn’t mean soup, silly) is of course the [...]
