Fighting Adultitis is Like Playing Space Invaders

"Space Invaders" by Jason Kotecki. 12" x 12" Oil on canvas. Original is AVAILABLE. Prints and canvas reproductions available here. Some of you are old enough to remember the Atari video game system. A far cry from the advanced graphics we see in games today. And only one button! One of the most popular games was called Space Invaders, which I have featured prominently in this painting. It was a simple concept: you try to shoot as many aliens as you can as they descend down your screen. As the game continues, the aliens descend at an ever-increasing speed. If they reach the bottom, the …

Clint Pulver, February 2018 Adultitis Fighter of the Month

An Adultitis Fighter is someone who rallies against rules that don't exist and engages in ruthless, senseless acts of silliness that undermine Adultitis and its unadventurous version of adulthood. Once a month, we shine a light upon the most remarkable among us, holding them up as a dazzling example of what we should strive for in this epic battle against a formidable enemy. Clint Pulver is like a modern, real-life Forrest Gump. Although we have only known him for a short time, he always seems to be in the middle of some epic adventure.

Live Life in Technicolor

"This Ain't Kansas" by Jason Kotecki. 20 x 20 Oil on canvas. Original is SOLD. Prints and canvas reproductions available here. As dissimilar as they may appear on the surface, rural Midwestern farmers and rural Asian farmers have some things in common. One is a deep respect for tradition. This is an important value that can provide a sense of stability and help pass on hard-earned wisdom to future generations. But I believe we must also have an openness to new things. Not so that we will abandon our ideals, but so that we can experience a much richer life. It's like the difference …

How to Not Ruin Your Next Vacation

Ever have one of those vacations that, when it was over, you said, “I need another vacation!”? Sometimes we spend all our time lounging around and feel disappointed that we didn’t see more. But more often, we rush around trying to see and do everything, and wind up returning to work depleted, wishing for a re-do. You’ve taken time off work. You’ve probably invested no small amount of money. Don’t be the reason your vacation fails. It almost just happened to us. Last summer, we got passports for all the kids so we could take a road trip into Canada. Kim and I asked our favorite …
