  • Money doesn’t buy happiness, unless you’re poor

    What would you do if you won the lottery? I feel like I’m pretty poor. In the scheme of the world I’m wealthy. In the scheme of Americans, I’m pretty damn poor. I don’t even have a house. Still living with my parents and I’m almost 40. It feels… pathetic really. It feels like any

  • What Side Of History Will You Be On?

    We are at a crossroads. Yes, in America and it will determine whether we continue to be a relevant part of the world or even a functional country. But not just here, globally we are flying into uncharted territory. All companies are putting all bets on AI. On one hand AI will take your jobs,

  • I miss simpler times

    Back when I was growing up, books were one of my biggest sources of entertainment. I loved to read. Not especially fiction books, but I wanted to read about historical events, peoples opinions, ideas, etc. I love the idea of reading. I own hundreds of books. I once worked at a niche bookstore. I am

  • Every road leads somewhere

    Think back on your most memorable road trip. I can’t pick just one memorable road trip. Ever since I was little, we would pack up our suitcases and drive the two day drive to Florida or the Carolinas. Sure we flew sometimes, but my mom tended to get sick on planes, so we usually chose

  • So much to change, so little time (or motivation)

    What could you do differently? What could I do differently is not the same thing as what should I do differently. I could put the pb and j on the outside of the sandwich. I could rage bait people on Reddit. I could read a book backwards. I ~could~ fake my death and move to

  • The Duality of Time As We Age

    Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? When you are young you often don’t spend near as much time thinking about the future as you should. Deadlines are a long ways off; pushed back into the recesses of our minds as we enjoy the here and now. The problem

  • How have your political views changed over time? I grew up in a conservative Christian home. Middle class, when that was a thing that could be attained. I went to a private Christian school. My childhood, while filled with immense love and support, had clear marked boundaries of morality and Christianity. In my household they

  • The irony of plans

    I think it was a month ago exactly that I said I wanted to continue writing my blog as an outlet and something I wanted to stick to. One month later, I obviously didn’t. I could say it’s frustrating that I can’t follow through with anything, but like dealing with someone who’s burned you a

  • How to stop caring

    How to stop caring

    It’s been 4 months since I left to go to Spain. It’s hard to believe time flew that quickly. I’m reminded constantly of time by looking at my daughter; the changes are imperceptible daily but how much they accumulate over time til you realize you have a completely different person standing in front of you.

  • I answered one of those daily prompts about something that I needed to do but hadn’t. I railed and whined about how my health was in a bit of a bad spot and that the great American way of have health insurance or go fuck yourself, was not working well for me. I knew I
