It’s true. I, Drew Allen, have not had a bit of solid food in my system since the evening of Jan. 2. Thank you, Texas Roadhouse. First of all, it has been amazing, and rewarding. I can’t recommend it enough. I have lost 32 lbs. in 24 days, without any drugs, or starving myself, and [...]

Well, it’s 11:34 pm. 26 minutes left in the year, and for some reason, I’m at home. Not really unhappy about it. I’m pretty particular about how I ring in the New Year, and if I can’t be in the right place with the right people, I’m fine ringing 2012 in with solitude, sobriety and [...]

I agree with Wall Street Reform I really do. But please stop posting pictures with your “story.” They are all normal lives. 99% is almost everyone. You’re normal. We get it. You work a lot but don’t make much, and might have a big student loan. That’s perfectly normal. It doesn’t provoke empathy at all. [...]

Someone recently asked me, How do you believe the Google +1 button and the Facebook “Like” button will impact the marketing of a business. In what way can a business influence how many “+1′s” or “Like’s” it receives? Or can it? I’m flattered someone would come to me with this question. Here’s my answer. The [...]

When I first started watching Wilfred and, actually, through much of the first season, I really really enjoyed it. It’s just hysterical, wrong, and hilarious. I’ve never been dumb enough to be a stoner, so that part of the comedy is a little lost on me, but there’s so much more that’s hilarious that I [...]

This morning, I was thinking about how SEO has affected my views of church. Don’t laugh at me. In a certain way, the church is the king of content marketing. The meat of its products and services (pun) has not changed much in decades, or even centuries. But that hasn’t stopped or even slowed down [...]

Where do I even start? So much has happened. So much has changed. Some changes good. Others not as good. But wow, change all around. It really is the only constant. New job, or new position I should say, is going well so far. It’s my first week, and all the websites are still up, [...]

Well, I turned 29, and in a strange turn of events, I was way too busy celebrating my birthday to document much of it. A quick recap of the whirlwind month leading up to my birthday and the present: I spent a great weekend at the beach with some awesome friends. I relaxed in a [...]

Although, really, I’ve been crobbing Joywave’s ridiculously awesome cover of this song. Download the whole Joywave mixtape album here: http://joywavemusic.com/mixtape.html Lately I’ve been skeptical Silent when I would used to speak Life is overwhelming Heavy is the head that wears the crown I’d love to be the one to disappoint you when I don’t fall [...]

I just finished watching the SEOmoz PRO webinar on Effective Link Building by Justin Briggs of Distilled. Here’s a few notes on it. I was a bit skeptical of the webinar because I didn’t want to just hear a rehashing of things I already know. But I definitely was hoping for some advice on recovering [...]

Presented by Drew Allen. Better late than never. Album of the Year Kanye West: My Dark and Twisted Fantasy Runner Up: The Roots: How I Got Over This was a super tough call. I think that the emotio-moral dichotomy these two albums thematically represent is very reflective of the same dichotomy that existed in my [...]
