So I was in a motor vehicle accident 2 weeks ago. A car was speeding and rear-ended me on the freeway while I was stopped in traffic, knocking me into the car in front. He then tried to flee the scene until I took out my phone and started copying down his license plate number.

The 8-posts-per-month challenge is officially over! Traci has decided to shift her attention to writing a second book, which she announced here. If you missed it, you can check out the original conversation we had in the comments section of this post here, or the challenge announcement on her blog here. I will still blog as time permits, but I can no longer guarantee a steady stream of 8 posts each month. Many thanks to Traci as my writing has improved markedly over these last several months!
Next up:
I am going to take a cue from Traci and shift my attention to writing a book as well. I had actually started this selfsame book in earnest no less than 3.5 years ago, but because my writing was just not at a level I was satisfied with, I scrapped it when I started this blog. Now that I’ve had more time to explore my ideas and hone my craft, I’m ready to reboot the book.
I have been saving my best insights, my best metaphors, and my best wordplay for this project. It is going to be story-driven nonfiction like “House of Dreams,” but more eventful, more passionate, and much broader in scope. The book will paint a more complete picture of what my journey is all about while containing philosophical gems interwoven throughout its narrative. In short, it will be my blog on steroids, creatine, and ginger all rolled into one.

This month marks 2 years since I first started my blog. I feel honored to have received close to 20,000 views almost exclusively through word-of-mouth. Thank you all, dear readers. If you feel that my writing has had a positive effect on you, then please pass it along. I would much rather spend what little free time I have in order to work on producing quality content than to spend it on aggressive advertising and affiliate marketing.

Hey all,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have updated my mission statement, which is now called “My Journey.” You can access it through the navigation menu, or if you are in a lazy mood, you can just click here.
I spent a lot of time writing it and a ton of time thinking about it. I hope you enjoy reading it. I think if you’ve had a similar experience, you’ll definitely find it worth your while.
Love
A. T. Bui

I know some people will like the domain name change and others will not. Most people won’t even care because they would just like me to put out more content–which I will continue to do, so stop flipping out, ok? ;)
But I want to take this opportunity to address the concerns of the people who do not like the new domain name. “But aren’t you the cool nerd?” Yes, I do consider myself a big nerd in many ways, and I would like to think I’m pretty boss most of the time, but “cool nerd” is just an arbitrary identity label like “artist” or “party girl.” The typical image of an artist is often some moody guy with long disheveled hair painting away in a studio apartment by himself. The typical image of a party girl is often some indecent girl boozing the night away, spending each night in a different bed.
