Rise up. It’s time to become a man

Posted by Joshua Kagi on Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

One morning several weeks ago I woke up.
This isn’t astounding or anything since I’ve woken up every morning for 8,786 consecutive days now. However, something life changing happened. It wasn’t a revelation, or an ah-ha moment. I can’t point to the exact second it occurred, but I woke up that morning and I knew something: [...]

Reflections on cynicism & hope

Posted by Joshua Kagi on Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

DevilishDuck.com has a tagline. You may have noticed it before, or maybe you just don’t notice those types of things.

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

So, the entire point of the “Wednesday is for Wishes” series on the blog is for me to actually sit down and think about my future and what I want. You know, the serious things, kids, love, family — the things that I’d consider my life a success by if I had. However, I [...]
