Don’t lase me, bro!!

Had to make a quick blog post showing off my buddy’s new badass lazar. This thing will put your eye out! Our mutual friend, Larry Davis, built one of these beasts a few years back and spurred the interest, but this round of lazer madness (courtesy of MKD) is a bit more… intense.

Here’s a quick video of it being tested outside

If Morgan were a reddit Dos Equis-guy comic… it’d probably read something like, “I don’t build lasers often, but when I do.. they get blogged about, and burn things.”

Finished

Hurry up! (and enjoy it)

People change, and life goes on without skipping a beat. The pace at which we rush through life is blinding. As hard as as we may try to slow down and appreciate our surroundings, putting such a philosophy into practice may seem downright impossible.

Our fast-paced consumerist society values the high-speed exchange, yet everyone wishes they could take things slowly and enjoy the simple things in life. But, come on…. who has time for that?

I like to think I could probably make the time. Yet, despite working for myself, making my own schedule, and ultimately being my own boss for the past few years… I’m not entirely sure I can say I’ve taken full advantage of the freedom it’s allowed me.

Don’t make the time, force yourself to
Despite my best attempts, I always seem to take on way more than I should. Whether that’s the workaholic in me making excuses to stay busy, or the true reality of my situation; I’ve always felt I could be putting aside more time for myself and those close to me.

I decided in December to really try and approach this year a bit differently… and (try to) stick to it. I wasn’t really sure what to do or expect, but it had to be done. The desire for change is an important point in one’s journey, but execution and follow-through are what separate the boys from the men. I couldn’t just want the change… I had to force myself into it.

Don’t make changes, make choices
By making a few drastic life decisions, lightening the load, and generally narrowing the focus of my work, I knew I’d be forced to confront things head-on. I may not be quite where I want to be yet, but I’m learning valuable lessons in management and delegation, and appreciating my position in life more and more each day.

Life is a journey of exploration, awareness, and enjoyment. Work hard, and have fun with it. Ultimately, enjoy what life has to offer. I hope as time goes on, I can find a partner in crime that enjoys a similar attitude to life, and experience the more relaxed side of what life has to offer. Can you say extended hiatus to a foreign location? Yes, plz.
