Do You Deserve Love?

When I was a teenager, in high school, there was a popular expression that was shared online, or written in notebooks, or said aloud. It was a saying that was said. The saying went like this: “If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best.” Only girls and youngContinue reading “Do You Deserve Love?”

Some Quick Thoughts on Anarchism and Chaos

I’ve been reading this book called The Social Instinct by Nichola Raihani, a psychologist who researches the evolution of cooperation of various species. That’s what the book is about, cooperation. Cooperation between members of a given species, cooperation between different species, the evolutionary source of cooperation, and comparing human cooperation to that of other species.Continue reading “Some Quick Thoughts on Anarchism and Chaos”

Things Might Be Better, But They’re Still Bad [and that’s difficult to accept]

Sometimes people work really hard to improve themselves. It is difficult, and there are setbacks. Let’s take alcohol as an example. A person might drink to a point of drunkenness three times per week, on average. They might recognize this as unhealthy, and they might consider their hangovers to be preventing them from doing whatContinue reading “Things Might Be Better, But They’re Still Bad [and that’s difficult to accept]”

Google is a poo poo head sometimes

I have a Google account. I use Gmail. I do a lot of my writing on Google Docs. It’s a great tool. Most of this blog is first written on a Google Doc. It’s easy. It’s simple. I’m checking my email anyway, so I start up some writing. I can bring up the same writingContinue reading “Google is a poo poo head sometimes”

The Different Types of Exhaustion [in the opinion of this writer]

Isn’t it annoying when people write or talk like that? “It is the opinion of this reviewer that… blah blah blah.” Weird and professional-sounding third person bullshit. But it was cool when Walter Cronkite did it as he urged the U.S. government to end the Vietnam War. Kinda badass. So, in the opinion of thisContinue reading “The Different Types of Exhaustion [in the opinion of this writer]”

I don’t know, I can imagine quite a bit…

For much of my life, I’ve been a pretty passionate person, a PPP, if you will. Not a “pretty” person who’s passionate, but… you know what I mean. I live well when I’m passionately pursuing purpose. A PPP PPP-ing. Okay, enough of that pointless, preposterous poppycock. I’m not a philosopher with a well-thought-out-but-poorly-written existentialist work.Continue reading “I don’t know, I can imagine quite a bit…”

People Already Think You’re Stupid

You know, sometimes I feel some hesitancy about putting myself out there. My writing, my opinions, my videos, myself in general. It can be tough to fully put yourself out there. If I put my thoughts, opinions, convictions, beliefs out there, people might think I’m stupid. If people think I’m stupid, I will feel bad.Continue reading “People Already Think You’re Stupid”

High Movie Review #14: Dr. Strangelove

All right, it’s about time to write about this movie. It’s one of my favorites of all time, I’ll just say that right out. So it was directed by Stanley Kubrick, who is kind of a strange, dark, genius type of guy. And it was released in January of 1964, which was just 15 monthsContinue reading “High Movie Review #14: Dr. Strangelove”

The Difficulty in Dealing with Declining Depression

Depression itself is difficult, obviously. It’s just really bad. It is a serious ailment that prevents [or seriously impedes] the ability to apply treatment to the ailment itself. Imagine if you had a cold, and the cold prevented you from taking vitamin C. What if you had an infection, and the infection prevented you fromContinue reading “The Difficulty in Dealing with Declining Depression”

Clay Higgins

Today I’d like to write about a tweet from a Republican United States congressman, Clay Higgins of Louisiana. The tweet, posted on February 27th, 2022, reads as follows: “You millennial leftists who never lived one day under nuclear threat can now reflect upon your woke sky. You made quite a non-binary fuss to save theContinue reading “Clay Higgins”
