Jessica Dee
Pornstar Profile, Date added: 25 May 2001
Jessica Dee is a pornstar who comes from the country of the Czech Republic and she was born under the zodiac sign of Scorpio. Her eyes are green and she has naturally auburn hair that is usually worn blonde. She is 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds. Her body measurements are a feminine and all natural 34B-24-36. There are no tattoos anywhere on her body and neither does she have any body piercings. Preferring to keep her skin completely free of either ink or needle could be in part due to the fact that it was the style of the time in her home country. She has been credited with several different aliases which include but are not limited to Alice Borman, Jesica, Jesika, Jessica, Jessica Jane, Jessica Roma, Jessica Roman and Jessika.
Miss Dee began working in porn movies in the year 1999 when she was in her early twenties. Contrary to the path of many other European pornstars, Jessica did not work in adult movies until she came to Los Angeles. For the next couple of years after that, she would routinely come to America to work for three months and then return to her home country. She recalled in a later interview that she worked every day and filmed approximately two scenes per day. Everyone knew she would be returning to Czech Republic and that she was very busy so there were efforts made to not delay her scenes for anything. When she first found an agent, he said that she barely spoke a word of English. In a very short time though, she was speaking perfectly with a charming Czech accent that everyone loved.
One of her early film appearances was in "Club Ecstasy" which was produced by Family Blue studios and directed by Gabriel Pontello in 1999. Her scene is the third one and she appears with an uncredited male. To get things started she sucks on his cock until he is rock hard and then she bends over so that he can fuck her pussy from behind. Lying her on the side he continues to fuck her pussy and then she pauses while she sucks his dick some more. Next he slips his dick into her ass and she rides him and rubs her clit at the same time to get herself off better. More anal fucking in several more positions comes afterwards and the scene finally comes to an end when she receives a facial cumshot. Licking and sucking his cock clean in the end, Jessica appeared in the credits as Alice Borman in this one.
Another of those early releases was "European Union 2" which was produced by Video Team and directed by Tom Stone. Her scene is the second one on this disc and she is taking a shower while the camera slowly discovers every inch of her body. Scene partner Karl Ben is shaving at the sink when she comes out and they're soon making out naked. He sucks on her nice tits and slips his finger into her pussy too and before long he is down between her legs licking her pink hole. After she has a chance to suck on his dick they fuck while she rides on top and then while she is lying on her side. Plenty of hardcore action leads up to the inevitable facial cumshot sequence which she catches partly in her mouth this time. Her stage name was still evolving at this point with her credit being Jesica.
On what used to be an official website for Miss Dee she had written a few things about herself that porn fans have been wondering. Her exact city of birth is not listed but she does mention that it was a small town near the capital city of Prague. One reason that she began working in porn and adult entertainment is because she is a natural exhibitionist. If she had never set one foot inside of a porn studio, she would still be very sexual, flirtatious and promiscuous in different ways. It gets her off sexually to know that people are watching her fuck and suck cocks. Travel is one of her greatest loves and it was traveling that brought her to America and to Los Angeles specifically back at the beginning of her career. These days she prefers to travel to Egypt, Spain and of course any tropical location on the map. Being able to work in some of these places has been a true joy for her. One surprising detail that she mentions however is that to date, she has never had sex on a plane. Simply mentioning that she loves clubs and wants to join the mile high club has probably since solved that problem.
In early 2004, Jessica Dee was diagnosed with HIV and was the third known person infected during that outbreak of the virus. She and another female performer, Lara Roxx had each previously performed with Darren James. James was the male performer who was believed to be patient zero at the time. During this time she was engaged to be married to adult male performer and director Shane Diesel. Because she was unable to perform at that point, she was picked by Jewel De'Nyle and her company Platinum X Pictures to do some directing. Her first film would be "Throat Yogurt 1" which would be comprised of 10 oral sex scenes and was set to begin filming in June of 2004. Dee went on to direct the sequel to that film as well and in all she had a hand in helping to direct a total of five films for the company.
Jessica Dee performed in a total of 197 movies and directed five. Although she did not continue working in the adult industry much beyond her directing days, fans have continued to enjoy her energetic scenes to this day. PORN.com has a great selection of her very best scenes inside the exclusive members area.

MANNSVILLE A family of five is homeless, with a dog, a few cats and a pet bird dead, following an early-morning fire Monday that destroyed a single-wide trailer and an addition at 803 Brown Road.
Robert Martin Jr., his wife, Renee, and three children, ages 3, 4 and 8, escaped after being awakened shortly before 12:45 a.m. by the smell of smoke, said Joseph D. Plummer, Jefferson County director of fire and emergency management, who was the first responder at the scene.
The blaze originated in the addition, which was engulfed when he arrived, Mr. Plummer said. Flames were working into the trailer at that time, he said.
An electrical cause is suspected, Mr. Plummer said. There were no smoke alarms in the structure, he said.
The family, uninsured, lost all belongings.
Mr. Martin is believed to have been buying the property under a land contract with the owner, listed in county property records as Stephen J. Watson, Syracuse.
Mannsville firefighters were assisted by departments from Ellisburg, Adams and Sandy Creek.

Kim Bates, former staffer, grew up in and around St. Paul/Minneapolis and developed a taste for folk music through housemates who played their music and took her to lots of shows, as well as KFAI community radio, Boiled in Lead shows in the 1980s, and the incredible folks at the Winnipeg Folk Festival, which she's been lucky to experience for the past 10 years. Now she lives in Toronto, another city with a great and very accessible music and arts scene, where she teaches at the University of Toronto (see this location for a very out of date professional interests Web page). She likes to travel to beautiful nature to do wilderness camping, but she lives in a city and rides the subway to work. Some people might say that she gets distracted by navel gazing under the guise of spirituality, but she keeps telling herself it's Her Path. She's deeply moved by environmental issues, and somehow thinks we have to reinterpret our past in order to move forward and survive as cultures, maybe even as a species.
Her passion for British Isles-derived folk music, from both sides of the Atlantic, seems to come from this sense about carrying the past forward. She tends to like music that mixes traditional musical themes with contemporary sensibilities -- like Shooglenifty or Kila -- or that energizes traditional tunes with today's political or personal issues -- like the Oysterband, Solas, or even Great Big Sea. She can't tolerate heat and humidity, but somehow she finds herself a big fan of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys (Louisana), Regis Gisavo (Madagascar), and various African and Caribbean artists -- always hoping that tour schedules include the Great White North.

If you are a first-time visitor, welcome to my site. Otherwise, welcome back.
I am currently working on my second novel, a love story that spans fifty years in the lives of the protagonists. At the same time, I am researching a novel that tells the story of my grandfather, my grandmother and my mother. My grandfather was captured as a POW in 1915 in France: the family story starts with my grandfather's experience during WW1 and moves on to embrace my grandmother's story and that of my mother.
My first novel is available as an ebook from Amazon here and as a paperback book here. Apologies to early purchasers for the many typos. The newly-edited edition (thank you Judith) is now available.
A huge thanks go to Pippa Lobban for her brilliant cover design: this can be seen below.
Please feel free to post an honest review of Visions of Whereafter on its Amazon book page.
There is a button towards the foot of the page for you to write a customer review. This helps to spread the word: thank you.
It is nice to get a bit of local publicity in the Solihull News here.

ABSTRACT: Concerns raised regarding the integration and application of neuropsychological knowledge in the school environment are addressed. Specifically, a brief overview of the literature suggests that neuropsychological knowledge is relevant to most cases seen by the school psychologist, localization and equipotential theories both have validity, lateralization is a meaningful concept, and other concerns regarding school neuropsychology may reflect a lack of familiarity with the literature.

Inequality of wealth is a bone of contention with the wealth held by the poorest half of the world's population matching the wealth held by the world's 85 richest people and with the heirs of Walmart founder Sam Walton having as much wealth – $69 billion – as the bottom 40% of Americans.
The much discussed book 'Capital in the 21st Century' by French economist Thomas Piketty takes the view that protracted periods of peace and stability produce inequality because investment returns outpace GDP growth.
However, Larry Summers, former Secretary to the US Treasury and President of Harvard, says: "Piketty sees these developments (inequality) as reflecting iron laws of capitalism. I think they have more to do with particular policy choices that can be reversed: whether it is the erosion of labour bargaining rights or the excessive protection of intellectual property, or the insufficient regulation of the financial sector, or failures in corporate governance, or the lack of progressive taxation. I believe these problems are amenable to policy and cultural change and are not inevitable."

The British people were very easily tricked – Thatcher flogged off some national assets for a fraction of their price and made everyone with a few hundred pounds to spare feel like an entrepreneur capitalist while in fact the government had just handed people some of their own property, ie national assets.
On the back of that she convinced most of the country that unions were redundant because everyone's a capitalist now right? With nobody left fo fight for worker's rights the ground was set for an all out exploitation, not only lousy pay rises but such nasties as zero-hour contract.
We need those unions again, because the root problem is that the rich are highly motivated and organised, and the poor are not.

Protesters in Times Square: U.S. Should Butt Out Of Syria
Posted By Adan On August 30, 2013 @ 9:00 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile,U.S. News | Comments Disabled
CBS New York
August 30, 2013
As the United States moves closer to possibly launching a military strike against the Syrian government, a few hundred anti-war protesters rallied in Times Square on Thursday.
Demonstrators said the U.S. government has not provided any proof to back up its claims that President Bashard Assad's regime has used chemical weapons against the Syrian people.
"Just like with 'weapons of mass destruction,' lies are being told to justify another war," a news release announcing the protest reads.

The original
idea for
Hunting for Bambi™
was conceived several years ago by founder and Master
Hunter, Michael Burdick. A simple reality video concept -
hunting naked women with paintball guns.
Filming and editing was done in Spring of 2003. A nationwide
campaign was launched in July 2003.
The hook? Men willing to pay $5000 - $10,000 to fly to Las
Vegas, pick the girl (s) of his choice, and hunt them -
naked, for the day. A custom private video would be made for
the 'hunter' to keep.
This hook spawned a great deal of media attention worldwide!
Many newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and television
stations ran with the
Hunting for Bambi™
Jay Leno, David Letterman, Howard Stern, Fox, CNN, MSNBC,
ABC, CBS, NBC, and even the BBC, all carried news about
Hunting for Bambi™.
It sold tens of thousands of videos in a matter of weeks.
This hook actually created a real demand for the Safari
Hunts. There's currently a waiting list!!!
You may have heard that
Hunting for Bambi™
was a fake, fraud, or hoax. Here's a question. How can a
video (entertainment) be a hoax? It's an actual product you
can purchase.
It's true the "hook" used was that people paid $5000 -
$10,000 to hunt naked women with paintball guns.
Of course, the video is an actual product you can purchase.
So, this is definitely not a hoax. No one was ever arrested.
Michael Burdick, the founder, was
charged with doing business without a license (serious crime here!) and lying to
a public official (another life sentence!). The corporation had a valid business
license, so why the frivolous charges?
Since when did anyone get prosecuted
for a "crime" of lying to a public official?
Hunting for Bambi was billed as "an embarrassment" to
Las Vegas by City Officials. How in the hell can you embarrass Las Vegas - Sin City
- the Entertainment Capital of the World? There's more hookers walking around
the Hotels and Casinos than anywhere else in the country!
Furthermore, upwards of $100,000 was
spent trying to prosecute a misdemeanor (like a speeding ticket) that carried a maximum fine of $1100! Talk
about a waste of taxpayer money!
We're ramping up
to continually film the
Hunting for Bambi™
Video Series. Each new "episode" will tie into the next.
Imagine an ongoing "saga" or weekly TV Series. The quest for
ultimate Bambi Tail is never ending!
A separate
vacation company will be booking the
Hunting for Bambi™
Safari Hunts.
A merchandise
clothing line, board game, and even a video game for
Nintendo, X-Box, and online play is in development.
Like it,
or not, Hunting for Bambi™ is here to stay.
Cheers, and Happy Hunting!
Team Bambi™

Rutgers wins women's NIT over UTEP 56-54
Tyler Scaife went coast-to-coast and scores with 2 seconds left to give Rutgers the Women's National Invitation Tournament championship with a 56-54 win over UTEP on Saturday.
Rutgers (28-9), which led 30-16 at the half, withstood a furious second-half rally by UTEP (29-8), which tied it at 54 with 7 seconds to play on a putback by Chrishauna Parker.
Scaife took the inbounds pass and raced downcourt to score the winning points to quiet UTEP's home sellout crowd of 12,222.
"I just knew we had to get down the floor and score," said Scaife, a freshman who was named the tournament MVP. "I'm happy it went in. I'm just happy we finished the season off like this."

The Rev. Billy Graham and his ministry will be honored with the Hope Medallion for Graham's worldwide leadership in creating life-changing films through "unswerving commitment to the gospel message" by The JESUS Film Project, a ministry of Cru.
Presenters say the award, which is given to individuals who have demonstrated their dedication and unfailing commitment to sharing eternal spiritual hope around the world, will be given to Graham's daughter, Gigi, accepting on her father's behalf, on Saturday in Asheville, N.C.
"Mr. Graham long ago recognized the impact that various forms of media had on people and culture, both as a method for communication and as a means to influence opinions and perceptions, or more viscerally, to impact hearts and minds," said Dr. Erick Schenkel, executive director of The JESUS Film Project. "Much as he used a microphone to amplify his voice to reach those present in a stadium, he leveraged all the various forms of media that could be utilized in the presentation of the gospel, from the printed page, to radio broadcasts, then to television and motion pictures, extending all of that around the world via satellite and then Internet." more >>
The Christian message of grace and love is planned as the focus of the Liberate 2014 conference led by Tullian Tchividjian, senior pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in Florida and grandson of Billy Graham.
Organizers say the three-day event, that kicks off today in Fort Lauderdale, promises to be "a spiritually enlightening and engaging event" that will explore God's "one-way love" in Christian life, personal failures, families, the church and pop culture.
"The purpose of the event is to spread and celebrate the message that our relationship with God is based on his one-way, unmerited, unconditional, love for us; his inexhaustible grace for an exhausted world," Rev. Nick Lannon, editor in chief of liberate.org, told The Christian Post. more >>
Franklin Graham and his missionary organization Samaritan's Purse will be featured in an upcoming episode of "Fox Files," which will take a look at Syrian refugee camps in Iraq and the important work being done to help the suffering people there.
Samaritan's Purse said that millions have fled the civil war-torn country, where over 100,000 people have been killed, according to U.N. statistics. Refugees have spread across neighboring countries, many in the Kurdish region of Iraq.
"Samaritan's Purse has rushed to the aid of these desperate people by providing them with food, blankets, diapers, shoes, warm winter coats, and kerosene heaters," the organization said. "In one camp, we also started a sewing project and built a playground and soccer field for the children." more >>
Phil Robertson, star of the hit A&E reality show "Duck Dynasty," is gracing the cover of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association's latest "Decision" magazine.
The February 2014 issue of "Decision" shows a photo of Robertson in his natural element, wearing camouflage gear and equipped with a shotgun and duck call, presumably standing in the swamps that line his expansive West Monroe, La., property.
A photo of the cover was tweeted by Matt Lewis, senior contributor at the Daily Caller with the caption "Phil Robertson makes the cover of Billy Graham's magazine." The headline accompanying Robertson's cover photo reads "Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson: In the Cross Hairs of the War on Christianity." more >>
The grandson of American evangelist Billy Graham and executive director of GRACE, a Christian sex abuse victim ministry, blasted a church video featuring a convicted sex offender apologizing for her crimes.
Boz Tchividjian appeared on Janet Mefferd's radio show last week to speak out against the film, which he alleged paints a "perfect, tragic picture" of what is wrong in the Church's response to sex abuse.
"Why? Why make a video and post this? My guess would be that the [Deeper Life Fellowship] wants to show 'Look how Christ can transform somebody else.' But what ends up coming up after the video is that there are four or five things that I have seen over and over again in responses to offenders by the church," said Tchividjian. more >>
Billy Graham is "doing OK, just OK," according to his son, Franklin Graham, who asked for prayers for his ailing father on the weekend, saying he's "ready to go to heaven" whenever that day comes.
Evangelist Graham was hospitalized after his 95th birthday celebration for observation and lung tests last November, and has been very weak since then, Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, told WBTV.
"My father is ready to go to heaven and whenever that day comes, he's ready," quoted Franklin Graham as saying Sunday. "He's worked hard all of his life and faithful to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ his entire life. And so he's ready to go home and I'm praying that the Lord will leave him a little longer. We need him." more >>

Money is the root of all good
December 20, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
Francisco d'Anconia, a wealthy industrialist and fictional character in Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged, dispels the phrase "money is the root of all evil" over a lengthy narrative. Although it is hard to narrow down my favorite excerpt, I found this paragraph to have enough of an entertaining, stand alone meaning to share.
"Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred for money?"
Ayn Rand's book, Atlas Shrugged, would make a great last second X-Mas gift.
Finding "good" where you least expect it
September 7, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
Going to the mechanic is like going to the dentist. Or paying taxes. It's just something you don't want to do, but have to.
So yesterday when our serpentine belt snapped and we had to make an emergency pit stop at Mark's Service Center in a small town called Central Square, NY, I was dreading it. Especially when we had to sleep in the parking lot so we could be the first customer in the shop…with outside hopes of being the first one out.
At 8am the RV was moved from parking spot to parking garage. A mechanic looked at the engine, made a judgment, and called in for a part. The diagnosis was that we would be there for awhile. A long while.
I called to cancel the lunch I had planned with an entrepreneur named Sean, and then cancelled the campus event at Syracuse University. The day was blocked off to getting this problem resolved.
What transpired during the remainder of the day was a true bonding between mechanics and PTP. We hung out with these guys, remembered their names, even made their weekly college football picks. They barbequed and fed us delicious pork chops and mechanic salad. They opened up their break room allowed us to use it as our home office. Not once did we ask when the RV was going to be ready to hit the road.
Come 4:30pm it was time to write a check for the damage. We had quite a day. We made a radio appearance that a few customers had heard in the early morning, where we gave shots out to Mark's Service Center and asked the radio audience where the nearest shower was. We interviewed the owner of Mark's in front of a Post-Standard reporter, and had our pictures taken for tomorrow's Syracuse newspaper. But the moment had come that I feared most.
It was time to get a tooth pulled. It was time to write the check to the IRS. It was time to pay.
But something happened during the day. We had a good time. We carried a positive attitude. And we had given Mark's Service Center a feeling of importance with media appearances. It was a special experience.
The bill was astronomical. But it could have worse. Mark, the owner, who had taken us in like his own employees, had given us a discount. A significant discount. He had charged us $10 in labor, and fair value for the parts.
There is still good in this world, even at the auto repair shop.
Singing the American Glues
August 23, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
After CBS big leagued us, and our lunch date cancelled, Pursue the Passion did what it does best. Improvised.
Right now, as I write this, I am in the Metrodome in Minneapolis, stealing wireless internet from the Minnesota Vikings while watching the Twins thump the Mariners. It is 12:55 CT, 10:55 PT on a Wednesday afternoon, and we have a couple hours to kill before our next interviews with a 83 year old boxing trainer and the only female to solely own and operate a boxing gym in America.
I'm not too interested in the ballgame. I'm more interested in who the hell has time for a baseball game on a Wednesday afternoon. It is, after all, the official hump in hump day.
So who is here? Lots of screaming camper kids adorned in the brightest t-shirts you've ever seen. Hot Orange, Lime Green, Bright Blue, you name it. They're having fun. There is not too many business executives here; just the ones trying to close a sale with a client. And a handful of dedicated dads with company logo collared shirts.
The imbalance makes me wonder…if America can't break away every once in awhile for an afternoon baseball game, what can they break away for?
We were talking last night with our host Christian, a passionate public defender, and discussed his recent vacation to Thailand. We talked about how he had to beg and plead for a two week vacation.
On his vacation he met people from all over the world that were on similar adventures.
But the difference was that the other Aussie and German travelers he met weren't on a two week getaway, they were on a two-three month vacation.
Here in America, we call that a leave of absence.
These two thoughts came together to make me think, "Are we too caught up in the workplace? Are we so engulfed in our work that we can't break away for an afternoon ballgame with peanuts and cracker jacks? (Hell, they have wi-fi at the game, you can even check your email while you're there!) And are we so indispensable that two weeks vacation is an unreasonable request?"
This may sound like an infomercial America. But it's not. This is reality.
What do you got for me in response?
Separating a Good Idea from a Bad One
August 15, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
What separates a good idea from a bad one? I have focused on this question over the course of my travels, and this post is based on the conversations I've had with many entrepreneurs who've had their fair share of ideas. It's meant to give you some questions to ponder in hope that you will be able to separate the good ideas from the bad.
1) Where is the idea coming from?
Matt Flannery, founder of Kiva.org, came up with ten business ideas during a quarter-life crisis. He flirted with a number of odd plans, ranging from DVD vending machines to an online luxury clothing rental company to creating robots that connected to the internet for video content.
The problem with these ideas, Matt said, "was that these ideas were negative reactions against my current state. They weren't proactive movements towards something I love."
2) What are your interests?
One night I took pen to paper and wrote down all of my interests. Travel. Learning. Writing. Having meaningful conversations. Baseball…
I took these interests and applied it to a question, "what the hell should I do after graduation?"
I was able to unify these interests into a simple idea called Pursue the Passion.
3) What makes your idea special?
"Brett, people come up with these ideas every year. There's always someone traveling around getting guidance, or wisdom, or whatever. The point is, your idea is not new. It's not special. There has to be something more than the idea, and that's the person behind it. They have to be passionate about what they are doing to make the idea special."
These are the words of Aaron Matos, CEO of Jobing.com when I first met him to discuss possible sponsorship of Pursue the Passion.
4) Feedback
"A good idea will receive more negative feedback than a bad idea," said Matt Flannery, the entrepreneur discussed in paragraph one. "Groundbreaking ideas have a contrarian nature, they contradict common wisdom and common sense. That's why no one else is doing it. No one else thinks it's feasible. If it's a great idea, a lot of people won't think it's feasible. And that will make it a good idea."
It's important to get feedback on your ideas because it will give you a feel for how good the idea really is. Just remember to keep the quote above in mind.
5) How deep do I really care?
I believe this is the last question you need to ask yourself before investing time and money to an idea. It's a tough question to ask. But a necessary one.
For me, the quote that I have on my home page is "half of the American work force is not satisfied with their job." Every time I read this quote I think back to when I was an auditor, working in this beaten down building with thousands of employees that had the same beaten down look the building had.
So when I start to doubt my idea, I think back to that scene. And then I remember why I do this.
Brett Farmiloe's Autobiography
August 9, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
Yesterday I came across Whitney Johnson's "Dare to Dream" blog. She had an interesting point on one of her posts that said, "for all your readers know, you may be daring them to dream, without having dreamt yourself."
This quote frightened me. I'm scared that you, the reader, think that I, the author, am just some 22 year old kid telling you to follow your dreams. I am going to share with you how, and why, I am pursuing the passion so you do not get the wrong impression of this site.
My Story:
I chose accounting when I was deciding what my major should be in college. My step dad told me that accountants made the most money and had the most opportunity out of school, and since I was insecure and money driven at that point, I chose accounting.
I never planned on being accountant, but that was the path I was led down by default. All of my classmates either were continuing their accounting education by obtaining their masters degree, or were accepting offers at Big 4 firms for fifty thousand dollar salaries in the fall semester of 2005. I was stuck in the middle. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life.
I had twenty interviews with potential employers that fall semester, and one thing became apparent. Not everyone had it figured out.
But that damn question of "what should I do with my life" lingered over the heads of everyone I talked to in the interview waiting rooms. Even after I accepted an offer with an accounting firm that fall, that question still remained on my mind.
In my very last interview, I got this funny feeling. I was overcome with fear that this would be my last interview. As I watched my interviewer ramble on and on about how much she loved her job, I realized that I liked interviews. I discovered that I liked interviews because I liked people. And what I enjoyed most about people was talking with them about their passion.
I went home that night and thought about what I would do during the summer between graduation day and my official start date in Corporate America. I got out a pen and paper and jotted down the things I wanted to do. I wanted to travel. I wanted to be close to sports. I wanted to better myself. Most of all, I wanted to continue having the feeling I had when I talked with people about their passion.
These desires that I wrote down is what you now see with Pursue the Passion. The RV came as a necessity because we had nowhere to stay, and I actually thought that when I bought Maggie Miracles (the first RV), that I was making a sound investment. Three hours into the first trip, broken down with green liquid spewing from the engine, I quickly realized that it had not been such a financial savvy decision.
That summer I interviewed 75 amazing people. I traveled 10,000 miles by RV, my mom's 4Runner, plane, and train for 2 months. I went to places like Nike, Microsoft, Playboy, many sports stadiums, the homes of welcoming strangers, and cities I had only read about. It was the time of my life.
The summer also had an inadvertent effect on my Corporate America experience. It completely soured it before I even stepped in the door. I knew, that after being exposed to all different occupations and possibilities, that I had made the wrong choice to go into accounting. I was selling out by going into a secure, stable, well-paid position because it just wasn't me. But because I was contractually obligated to show up on September 4th, I was going to show up on September 4th.
On August 23rd, two weeks before my anticipated start date, I reported to a "real job." The corporate lifestyle benefits came throughout the week, ranging from extravagant lunches to all types of corporate goodies. I temporarily forgot about all that I had gained and gleaned during the summer.
But as the months passed, I began to revisit the advice that was given to me. I began to write a book about the pursuit of a passion, despite not working with a passion myself. This was troublesome to me, and even more so as I continued to receive emails from people around the world who were inspired by this site.
I felt not only like a corporate sellout, but also a hypocrite. I thought to myself, "how can I have a site that says to pursue your passion when I'm not pursuing it myself?"
I guess that was my "aha" moment where I said to hell with this. I started to get by on a PB & J diet, sacrificed Saturday nights, and saved up so I could go on a second PTP tour. I sent out over twenty carefully crafted sponsorship proposals to corporations, schools, and small businesses to see if they'd be interested in sponsoring the tour. No luck.
One day I received an email from the boss saying that she wanted to see me. I made the decision that it was now or never for me. It was time to quit the job I despised.
I walked into the office belonging to my boss at the scheduled time on the scheduled date with my heart pounding and my roommate's co-worker's resume. My boss was seated on the other side of the desk with two envelopes. Much like a classic western gunfight, I drew first. I quit. BAM!
I left the two envelopes on the table, one containing a raise, the other a bonus, and said goodbye to steady paychecks and corporate security.
With no paycheck, I scrambled to get by. I hired my friend Jay, who graduated in December with a college degree and is now on the tour, and paid him minimum wage to help me get things in line with the Pursue the Passion tour. He crashed on my couch, and we ate free Hot Pockets and Stouffer's products, given to us by Nestle, until we couldn't take the taste anymore.
Every day I would rise at 5am, wake Jay up at 8am, and we'd work until 9pm or 10pm. Then we'd bounce back the next day, looking for sponsors, passionate people to interview, and couches to crash on.
It wasn't until I focused all my time on Pursue the Passion did I start to see results. After all those hours of writing sponsorship proposals, we found a sponsor in Jobing.com right in our own backyard. We went from having four people visit the site a day to an average of two hundred people per day. We made a pact not to eat Hot Pockets again.
Things started to click and hit full stride come July 1st, the official start of the second Pursue the Passion tour.
We've been on the road for over a month now, pursuing our passion, and the question that I frequently receive is "so, are you any closer to finding out what you want to do yet? What you going to do after this?"
People don't realize that I am a passion pursuer and a crazy entrepreneur that will not stop until the bank account says zero. My goal is to turn this website into a resource that will help people who are in the same situations I found myself in as a student, and in the working world.
I am whole heartedly and no longer hypocritically pursuing my passion, and I invite you to join the journey as well.
Guest Post- Passion vs. Paycheck
June 12, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
Whether you're choosing a college major, debating between two job offers, or contemplating a career change, chances are at one time or another you'll have to choose between your passion and your paycheck. That's not to say you can't do what you love and get paid well for it, but there's a reason why so many people drive home from the office in their Mercedes completely stressed out while I go home in my Hyundai with a smile on my face, eager to log on to my laptop later that night. The bottom line is finding a career you love–or at least remotely like–and transforming the way you approach your job. After all, wouldn't it be better to live to work rather than work to live?!
It's not about money. It's about lifestyle.
May 24, 2007 | by brett | Permalink
Over the past few weeks I've sought explanations from friends, forums, and family to answer to my question of "What is preventing people from pursuing their passion?" The result?
"Money is the fundamental reason of why people are not pursuing their passion."
No big surprise, right? But as I started to analyze these answers, I began to identify the one common theme that stood out.
It's not about money. It's about lifestyle.

Is Costco plan for Interbrew site just a 'ghost' application?
Posted: May 02, 2014|
WHOLESALER giant Costco says it is not behind plans to open a new warehouse club at Eastern Avenue even though the plans are geared towards opening a new Costco.
City councillors will be asked to refuse the plans for the former Interbrew site on Tuesday.
The plans are for a 13,000 sq ft warehouse club, which sells items in bulk, primarily to businesses but offers individual memberships.
Costco operate differently to wholesalers such as Booker and Makro, which do not offer individual memberships.
Planning officers admit there is 'confusion' because the application could not be for anything other than a Costco, yet the firm has confirmed it is not interested in coming to Gloucester.
Nicholas Deeks, director of international real estate at Costco, said: "We are not looking to open in Gloucester at the present time. We have been interested in Gloucester in the past but the city does not presently form part of our short to medium term expansion plans. I do hope that will change, but it will not in the foreseeable future."
He added that he was 'perplexed' by the application since Costco are the only warehouse club operator in the UK. He also confirmed that Costco had not been approached by the developer before the plans were put in.
There are concerns that it could be a 'ghost' application to allow for other uses on the site that would not ordinarily have won permission. Aviva, landowners at King's Square, have objected on this basis.
Arwel Evans, a planner representing Aviva, said: "Aviva are concerned about the impact such a proposal will have on the city centre both as proposed and in the future should the nature of the operation change in the future."
The plans also include a 450 sq m restaurant. No occupier has been identified, but plans indicated it could be a drive-thru restaurant.
Planners fear the restaurant would take away potential trade from the city centre and the whole application has been recommended for refusal.
The site is currently in use by a distribution firm which employs around 100 people and there are no details on how or when that use would cease. The applicants say the warehouse club would create around 150 jobs and 20 for the restaurant. The site once employed more than 400 people.


text: Sandy this must be a prototype. Amergraph specs on their V28-VMS Metal Halide 1200 watt table top imaging system makes the same claim. " Speed: Instant Start 1200 Watt Multi-Spectrum Metal Halide with patented circuitry, exposes plates and proofing materials 3 to5 times faster than comparable Mercury Vapor Units and does not require cool-down between exposeures." I was considering their V28-VMS unit until I read your post. Now I think I'll hold off and contact Amergraph and find out about this new unit.

5 out of 5 stars Botox
Botox Keeps Me Looking Young ! Parker, CO
5 out of 5 stars Dysport
Dysport for Crows Feet = GOLD - Lone Tree, CO
Show More I had gotten botox from another doctor and saw zero results (from the treatment I received at that spa, I am pretty sure the botox was diluted) so I waited a few months and went to see Dr. McCracken. He gave me dysport instead and within a couple of days, the crows feet around my eyes were completely gone. His placement was flawless, as he didn't freeze the muscle in such a way that would cause unnatural skin movement around the rest of my eye, and he had a gentle hand. Albeit a bit more expensive in comparison to others in Denver, (and quite a commute down south), you pay for the best and it's completely worth it. When I had my appointment, the doctor seemed a tad tired and rushed, but he was very nice and answered all of my (many) questions, and it did not affect the quality of his work in the slightest. If I hadn't moved to another state, I would definitely be back!!!
5 out of 5 stars Eyelid Surgery
Excellent Experience with Eyelid Reconstructive Surgery with Hard Palate Graft and Skin Graft -Boulder, CO
Show More My optometrist, Dr. Michelle Sancho, recommended that I see him. I consulted with Dr. McCracken to discuss solutions to improve my bilateral eyelid closure approximately 1-1/2 years ago. Two previous surgeons had removed multiple nodules under my eyes, which resulted in inadequate eyelid closure causing medical issues and discomfort. In 2012 Dr. McCracken succeeded in surgically repairing one of my eyelids, and in 2013, he agreed to perform surgery on my other eye, which was in worse condition with very pronounced scar tissue. It's been two months since Dr. McCracken performed my 2013 surgery, and he is now closely monitoring my healing process, as he did in 2012, to provide the best possible results. I am very appreciative of Dr. McCracken's outstanding surgical skills and his determination to improve my eyelid closure, which had caused several years of vision problems. I also want to extend my appreciation to his professional staff at McCracken Eye and Face Institute, Ashley, Darchelle, Gail and Alaina. Each are hard-working and very dedicated to providing the best possible experience for Dr. McCracken's patients. I highly recommend choosing Dr. McCracken for reconstructive and cosmetic eyelid surgery and have been pleased with the surgical outcomes.

5 out of 5 stars Restylane
Excellent Talented MD for Dermal Fillers, Toxins, Surgery and Repair - Parker, CO
Show More I met Dr. M shortly after he came to Denver. He quickly demonstrated the kind of interest in his patients that all patients want to find in a physician. He is intelligent, informed, and deeply concerned in his patients' well being. He is incredibly gentle which is excellent in a doc. working around eyes. I have had multiple treatments by Dr. M and he has treated a mistake made by another Dr., keeping me un-scarred and well. I recommend him without hesitation.
There is no recent activity.

"ElMindA's mission in developing BNA imaging was to revolutionize the diagnosis and treatment of brain-related pathologies by showing, for the first time, the dynamic connectivity and synchronization of electrophysiological networks within the brain," said Professor Amir Geva, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of ElMindA. "We are enabling researchers and physicians to truly observe the direct electrophysiology of the brain reacting to treatment in order to improve a wide range of therapies. Kendle was the ideal partner to bring this exclusive technology to market because of their extensive early stage CNS experience."
The BNA technology is expected to accelerate research in such key areas as Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, pain, ADHD, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and narcolepsy and can be adapted to any study of drugs expected to act on the central nervous system. BNA is ideal for SAD/MAD discovery, proof-of-concept and proof-of-mechanism studies, patient bridging and identifying select responder populations. The highly-sensitive imaging also can capture dose-dependent changes in the brain, allowing for evaluation of drug-drug interactions and improved participant selection criteria.
"The technology has been targeted to early stage CNS drugs very early in their development, allowing us to literally see if and how a drug is working by evaluating cognition or subjective measures of response coupled with network activation patterns," noted Dr. Sel

Ok, I admit, I broke down and read this and–surprise!–it wasn't very good. The crime fighting Batman must take on a secret society that, for no reason, decides to blow their cover and come out of the woodwork in order to take down Batman. There are two good stories in the collection: one about Mr. Freeze, that really showed his insanity and had almost nothing to do with the Court of Owls nonsense, and the other, weaker, story (although I was very glad it dealt with issues like poverty and homophobia) was about a civilian who stumbles onto Batman and her reaction to it.

Included in the land guaranteed to the Cheyennes and the Arapahos in Article V of the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1851 was eastern Colorado from its border with Kansas and Nebraska westward to the Rocky Mountains and south to the Arkansas River. However, the discovery of gold at the confluence of the South Platte River and Cherry Creek drew a multitude of prospective miners into Cheyenne territory during the latter half of the 1850s. New trails transversed Cheyenne hunting grounds, opening the way for immigrants, who constructed settlements and towns on land promised to the Indians. Soon the buffalo and other wildlife grew scarce. Tensions mounted as hunger and disease spread through Indian bands.
The U.S. government sought to relieve the friction by further reducing Indian land. Believing obstinacy and delay would result in a less favorable settlement, Cheyenne leaders Black Kettle and White Antelope, along with an Arapaho delegation led by Little Raven and Left Hand, met with government agents on February 8, 1861, and placed their X on the Treaty of Fort Wise. The document ceded to the United States the vast territory granted to the Indians in the 1851 Fort Laramie agreement in exchange for annuity payments and a small reservation of 600 square miles in southeastern Colorado between the Big Sandy and the Arkansas River. The treaty establishing the so-called Sand Creek Reservation was never approved by Cheyenne and Arapaho leaders, who were not present at the signing.
The Sand Creek Reservation was unable to sustain the Indians who were compelled to live there. Unsuitable for agriculture, the desolate, gameless terrain proved to be a breeding ground for epidemic diseases. With the nearest buffalo herd over 200 miles away, young Cheyenne men left the reservation in search of food. Raids on livestock and passing wagon trains became more and more frequent. Between 1861 and 1864, sporadic violence spread across eastern Colorado and the plains of Kansas and Nebraska, as men from Cheyenne and Arapaho bands clashed with soldiers and volunteer militia units. Fear and panic swept through white homesteaders, who were fully aware of the incidents associated with the Dakota uprising of 1862, which resulted in the largest mass hanging in U.S. history at Mankato, Minnesota.
In June 1864, John Evans, who became the second governor of Colorado Territory two years earlier, issued a proclamation inviting all "friendly Indians" to certain designated forts where they would be fed and allowed to camp under the protection of the military. Those Indians who chose not to comply with this directive would be considered hostile and subject to punitive raids. With most of the territory's regular troops away fighting Confederates, Evans called for civilians to join the Third Colorado Cavalry for 100 days to carry out his plan, stressing that "Any man who kills a hostile Indian is a patriot . . . and no one has been or will be restrained from this" (Hughes, 1977, 59).
The commander of the Colorado volunteers was Colonel John M. Chivington, a forty-three-year old Methodist minister-turned-soldier-turned-politician. In 1862, Chivington replaced his clerical attire with a major's uniform in the Colorado Volunteer Regiment and won acclaim for his role in defeating Confederate troops at the Battle of Glorietta Pass in eastern New Mexico. Now he was to lead an expedition against the Indians, "fully satisfied . . . that to kill them is the only way we will ever have peace and quiet in Colorado."
Black Kettle and six other chiefs decided to accept the governor's invitation and traveled with Major Edward Wynkoop, the commander of Fort Lyon, to Denver to meet with Evans and Chivington. Meeting at Camp Weld on September 28, the Indians were told to submit to military authority as represented by the garrison at Fort Lyon. Black Kettle believed that he had secured peace and safety for his band and others. Unknown to the Indians, Chivington received an order that same day from Major General Samuel R. Curtis, commanding officer of the Department of Kansas, instructing him not to make peace with the Indians. Chivington readily assented to this, with the blessing of Governor Evans.
On November 4, 1864, Major Wynkoop was relieved of command of Fort Lyon, owing to his benevolent dealings with Black Kettle, Left Hand, and Little Raven. His replacement was Major Scott Anthony, who proceeded to disperse the Indians, sending them away from the fort and north to Sand Creek. Chivington, meanwhile, moved his column of nearly 600 men down the Arkansas River toward Fort Lyon, arriving at the post on November 28. The enlistment of his hundred-day volunteers was about to expire, and the men were already disappointed at having never experienced a battle. Chivington, as well, had been ridiculed in the press for his inactivity. Accompanied by 125 men under Major Anthony and four mountain howitzers, the volunteers started out for Black Kettle's camp at 8 p.m. that evening. Having covered the forty miles to the village that night, Chivington's men were in position to attack as dawn broke on November 29.
Black Kettle's camp along Sand Creek was composed of approximately 450 southern Cheyenne and forty Arapaho, split into separate groups of lodges, each headed by a chief. Although a few women were up starting fires for cooking, most of the village was still asleep when the volunteers struck. Major Anthony drove away the herd of ponies and then approached the village from the west. Three companies of the First Colorado crossed the mostly dry creek bed and attacked from the east and north, while the Third Colorado Cavalry under Colonel George L. Shoup charged straight into the center of the encampment. Cheyenne oral history is replete with accounts of confusion and chaos as the Colorado volunteers swept through the village firing indiscriminately into the lodges. The mountain howitzers positioned on the south bank of the creek began to rain grapeshot down on the fleeing Indians. Black Kettle and others were in a state of disbelief over what was happening. The Cheyenne chief tied an American flag that he received in Denver along with a white flag of truce to one of his lodgepoles in an unsuccessful effort to halt the slaughter. Black Kettle, along with Left Hand, was left with no choice but to try and escape with his life. White Antelope chose to remain and face death and was shot in front of his lodge.
The bloodletting continued as Chivington's men chased the remaining Cheyenne and Arapaho for miles up Sand Creek, overtaking and killing as many men, women, and children as they could find. Some of the refugees, including Black Kettle, managed to escape by digging into the sandy soil or hiding under the embankments of the creek. Returning to the village, the Colorado volunteers proceeded to kill all the remaining wounded and mutilate the bodies of the dead—taking scalps, ring fingers, ears, and even genitalia for souvenirs. Chivington did nothing to halt the carnage. On December 1, the remains of the village and its inhabitants were set on fire and the Colorado volunteers left the area bound for Denver. Chivington's casualties at Sand Creek were nine killed and thirty-eight wounded. The Cheyenne and Arapaho dead numbered 148—only sixty were men.
At first, Chivington and his volunteers were wildly praised and rewarded for their actions, as celebrations filled the streets. Soon, however, rumors and testimonials about what really happened at Sand Creek convinced the U.S. Congress to order a formal investigation. Never formally punished for his actions, Chivington nevertheless resigned and withdrew from political life. Black Kettle, having miraculously escaped the carnage, returned to his efforts for peace on the Plains. On October 14, 1865, Cheyenne and Arapaho representatives agreed to a treaty giving up the Sand Creek Reservation in Colorado in exchange for a reservation in southwestern Kansas and Indian Territory.
A 12,000-acre Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site was dedicated by the National Park Service April 28, 2007.
