...says the wrapper of my Dove dark chocolate pieces, the lyrics of unremarkable and outrageously popular pop songs, and (probably) every movie I ever watched as a child.
To them I say: NO.
My heart is usually only asking me to do one or two things: Drink Wine. Eat Chocolate.
Or even: Eat Chocolate. Drink Wine.
Sometimes it wants me to do both while reading, but I spend more money on books, less on wine and chocolate; the equation becomes disproportionate.
But I cannot drink wine and eat chocolate endlessly whilst reading delicious books. And that makes the phrase "follow your heart" rather misleading--unless, it is meant to dissuade people from achieving success and social acceptance, in which case to those perpetrators of the phrase I say, "Well played."

Hey There, Star Kittens.
I'm officially a writer. I noticed this today, as I published more work to my company's website.
Maybe I've been a writer this whole time. Maybe all the stories and tales of dinosaurs posted within this blog make me a writer. Or maybe the work I did as a college undergrad made me a writer. I don't know.
I do know that you can find my writings on over 200 websites and news sources. And while they're only Press Releases--meant to be reclaimed by the very sources that re-post them--a lot of them have kept my words, words from my technical self that wants to spread news about the industry I work in.
But, my lovely Star Kittens, that's not enough for me. I'm going to publish a book.
In fact, I'm already working on it. And I want you to check it out.
So, should I post bits of chapters here or on a new blog? It is not about raptors (unfortunately) but it is a fantasy book dedicated to humor (like this blog, in a way, but more focused--yet somehow still random...)
Give me your feedback. I'm going to be putting together a Twitter as well in the next few weeks, which I will link here. And maybe I will start a Vlog, so you can see my awkward face as I gush about my aspirations and dinosaurs.
Thanks Star Kittens, you truly are marvelous.
