Staring into the Void
I spend to much time looking at screens. I’ve got a top notch personal computer, a decent cell phone, and a Fire TV. I’m thinking about all the empty white space on this webpage. I am staring into the void and wondering how to fill it. If you are here you probably stare into the…

Losing Friends
I am argumentative and sometimes crude. I can also be very passionate about ideas that I can do nothing about. I worry about losing friends. It doesn’t happen often that someone just cuts me out of their life, but it does happen. And then I second guess myself for months as to whether I was…

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most? This question is presumptuous. First of all, I have a hard time sitting and watching anything.

One Year Anniversary
As of today I have made at least one blog post every day for a full year. Most of my traction has been with WordPress’s daily prompts, but I am writing consistently and being read consistently. I thank all of my family, friends, and fans for the support I have gotten in the past year.…
