"Better than Cosmo! Others just recite facts, but I like your posts best because of the in-depth analysis."
"Great work! Your stuff is a sight for sore eyes in this wash of dumbed down crap for the masses I see all the time on the internet."
"Greg is a dapper gent, intelligent, and easy to hang with. He made me feel right at home in his film noir-esque lair. We talked at great length about books, influences (we both write), and on a broad range of topics that might cause one to raise an eye brow while pondering. He was great fun to roam the city with. I'm looking forward to another round of pursuing art exhibits and deep dialog over late night coffees the next time we cross paths."
"Greg! Thank you so much! I will not forget this! Your help will make it easier for me to secure a job when I get back home from Switzerland!"
"Dude I hate to write you about this again but those nutrition tips you sent me were a fucking godsend. Anyway, I do appreciate ya... you're a good egg."
"Dear Mr. Greg: You are creative and amusing... two things I find irresistible. If I didn't live so far away, I'd go after you myself! Thanks for all the laughs."
"Hey thanks for all the stuff on girls and relationships. I was up reading last night for like 3 hours. We had an earthquake not too long ago here in California, but man, some of the stuff you wrote shook me more than the quake!"
"I have to say, you provided several hours of entertainment for me just now. It is a great thing to know there are other people with similarly twisted senses of humor and intelligence. Thank you very much Greg Thompson, and good luck with the woman of your dreams. Should you ever feel the need to entertain me again, please feel free to do so, I'll take it any way I can get it."
"He may not have the following like many of the guru's out there, but I'd bet my bottom dollar that Greg is one of the best copywriters in America today."
"You're a very quotable man, Greg. I loved some of your bits of wisdom so much I posted them on my Facebook! It's easy to tell many of the things you say come from a place of true experience."
"Greg did work for our tour company for several years. What impresses us most about him is his ability to combine the technical know-how with the creative side of advertising to produce results faster. Instead of hiring a copywriter, artist, and web guy, we can get all of that and more in one savvy individual."
"The best thing I like about your writing is how I feel the presence of your heart among the words. You say what you mean and do what you say. I admire the authenticity of your beliefs even though I don't always agree completely."Archive for August, 2008

Saturday, August 9th, 2008Normally, my existential views would automatically lead me to say “Success is anything you want it to be. It’s up to you to give your life meaning.” And that’s still true. But since we’re all flesh-and-blood biological machine human beings who cannot rise above our own humanity (not that we’d WANT to, but still) there [...]
How To Enjoy Your Life More: Part 3
Thursday, August 7th, 2008Have you come to believe that pleasure and joy are for small children and simpletons? Have you ever met anyone who thought so?

I [...]
How To Enjoy Your Life More: Part 2
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008History is full of debauched slobs who drank, drugged, and bumbled their way through life, sometimes to tragic ends. Are these to be taken as examples of the “good life”? Hardly. As always, the pendulum swings, and the excessive, unrestrained indulgences of our forebears simply represent the dangers of unbridled hedonism. A touch of restraint [...]

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008“Pleasure is the beginning and end of living happily.” – Epicurus “A well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.” – Leonardo da Vinci “Somewhere between cosmic freedom and responsibility to the people you love lays the answer to life.” Earlier this afternoon, as I lay on my black satin [...]
How I Lost 60 Pounds On Weird Stouffers Lasagna Diet
Friday, August 1st, 2008I’ve had several ups and downs with weight throughout my life, mostly due to poor food choices when I was little and spending summers on my grandparents farm where the ice cream and mashed potatoes & gravy flowed like alcohol at a frat party. I came from a family with little money, and when I [...]
