Question Everything
In today’s world, the action of questioning things can get you labeled as an extremist or some form of “phobic.” Generations have been taught to fall in line and not question authority, unless it goes against some ideology that you were indoctrinated in. For all of human history, we’ve been taught to fall in line…

Grateful
When in the throws of life, being bombarded from every direction, even the smallest of trials seem like an insurmountable task. It’s difficult to see all of the good all around us when all we see is challenges and evil surrounding us. Even though it is difficult to see the good, we have to look…

I Smell Something
And it smells like bullshit. We all know someone that can tell a story. These stories seem too fantastical for our experiences. It’s one thing if this person is an elite military special-forces operator, but it’s quite another when it’s Bob from next door. I know this special-ops guy isn’t telling me shit. I know…

What is…
I have always told my children, “It doesn’t matter what you think; it only matters what is.” In this day of social media, “fake news,” and so-called journalism, how are we supposed to know the truth? It’s a myth that news used to be unbiased. It’s impossible for people reporting on a story to be…

Life is a Challenge
If anyone doesn’t think life is a challenge, they are either completely spoiled by luxury or are on some pretty amazing drugs. Life is constantly throwing challenges our way. It could be the weather, finances, family, friends, or a host of other challenges. Overcoming these can be taxing at best. Our perception on life can…

Adapt or Die
That is the hallmark of evolution. We either adapt to our surroundings, or we succumb to them and die. Believe me, there are times when neither option is superb. When faced with a choice, I’ll always try to adapt. I’m not talking about extreme moral quandaries where adapting would mean sacrificing my soul to darkness.…

Common Sense Isn’t That Common
That is a common phrase when people talk about dumb shit people do. This goes for everyone, regardless of your political association. Watching people on social media can easily prove this. Things get much more intricate when dealing with the economical impact of raising minimum wage compared to riding a skateboard down a steep hill…

Warning Signs
I know more than some how to rationalize warning signs; making the writing on the wall seem like a love poem instead of curse. I’ve done it more times than I can count. I rationalized red flags with women I dated/married. I ignored warning signs of what was to come when I worked at a…

The Next Step
It is hard to think about the next step when you’re in the middle of chaos. It doesn’t help when my mind is cloudy due to being tired. I think I’ve been sleeping okay. I mean, I don’t wake up 30 times a night like I used to, but that is due to sleeping meds.…

Variants
Some of the new shows and movies that have been coming out have been complete garbage. While a lot of people might think a show/movie is bad, I usually can still find some entertainment in them. It is rare for me to stop watching a movie because I find it so horrifically bad. Usually, I…
