Musings about "important" events or happenings that you probably don't care about
Just like if you spend time with someone you start to pick up on the annoying tendencies they have whether they leave dishes in the sink, don’t clean the coffee grounds on the counter, or send you passive aggressive messages not addressing their actual issues but hoping their “hints” will actually make you do something different when it actually induces only rage.
But what if that person is yourself?

Read MoreMy much anticipated return to writing self-assuredly on topics I possess little to no self-assurance on. This time it's about mindfulness and presence and...hey...stop looking at your phone...pay attention...no don't scroll down...damn...
Read MoreAfter Sam Harris and Joe Rogan talked about this almost three years ago, determinism is still one of the biggest ways I can empathize with people. Check out my thoughts on determinism and how it can be beneficial to you. (maybe...)
Read MoreDeciding whether or not to take on more responsibility is one of the inevitable side-effects of "adulting." Avoiding responsibility is also, one of the inevitable side-effects of "adulting."
Read MoreIt’s honestly taken me four or five days for this to not take up majority of my thoughts. In that time I realized there are ways for me to handle these pervasive and borderline obsessive thought patterns when dealing with the unknown. If they helped me they might help you, so I think it’s worth me writing about.
Read More(Not sure if the title makes you want to click on this but I tried) Life hands you a lot of curveballs. You can be cruisin’ along thinking you’ve got the whole life thing mapped out.. But sometimes it takes is a couple speed bumps before realizing you need to take a step back and face some of your irrational fears.
Read MoreThere's a more to people than people think. People are like onions. "They stink?" Ye...No! "Oh they make you cry?" No! "Oh you leave 'em out in the sun to long they get all brown, start sprouting little white hairs?" No! Layers! Onions have layers.
Read MoreA birthday is a lot of things; it’s a celebration that you made it through another year of life, it’s a time to look back at the past year and see how you can improve, and a time to look forward at the year ahead to see where you’re going. It’s also a great time to smother the inevitable existential crisis with a greasy bloomin onion and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s

Read MoreMy first foray into the topic of personal finance and you have to admit that's a pretty good pun to kick it off with. I hope this is entertaining for everybody because I know how convoluted finance can get, I mean I have been using google pretty extensively. Fair warning I'm not an expert...obviously.

So let us unpack the Trump scandal of week, what is it... four? IT’S ONLY BEEN FOUR WEEKS!!!! Oh wow... time flies when you’re having fun right? Or it creeps to a halt when you’re watching your country unravel.
Read MoreSomething that young people have really been rallying against (there’s a ton of options here, like literally every other thing Trump has done) has been the nomination of Betsy DeVos as head of the Department of Education. Thousands of teachers have come together to almost unilaterally oppose her, including the private charter schools she is such a big fan of. For her to be opposed by the very people she is seemingly going to be in charge of is curious to say the least. I want to find out the details of this appointment, why there’s opposition, why there’s support, and what she could mean for public education in America.
Read MoreI’ve tried to keep these posts light-hearted and hopefully humorous but after the past week it’s been tough to find time to stay light-hearted. As Donald Trump signed executive order after executive order the mood of our entire country swung aggressively. Whether you want to think so or not we are at a critical point in American history.
Read MoreA short exploratory look at the dark side of forgetting to put on deodorant, I mean it's not like there's a light side... Nobody's been thankful they forgot to put on deodorant...Patchouli doesn't count yah hippies!
Read More"You never hear, “Oh man it was so awkward I remembered their name but they totally forgot mine!” People just don’t want to talk about that time someone forgot who they were.

Read MoreA half-assed attempt to prepare myself for a years worth of work by answering questions I still haven't answered. Also my first post so it's not very good. I guess the it's only up from here...hopefully
