So I’m in my last semester of university, so I live in a houseContinue reading “A Single Day’s Worth of QR Codes”

Jack of All/Many/Several Trades
We know ourselves, more or less. I know my height and weight and my birthday. I also know that it takes me some time to get comfortable with people, to come out of my shell. Then there are characteristics that are less concrete, less knowable. These might come up when a potential employer weirdly asks,Continue reading “Jack of All/Many/Several Trades”

10. Orson Welles Orson Welles was born in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He began creating content early in life, doing magic shows and puppet performances. Eventually he stepped up his content game by doing some performances on the radio. He pretended, on the radio, that martians were invading the United States of America. So quirky! It was,Continue reading “Top 10 Content Creators of All Time”
The Worst Essay I’ve Ever Written
Okay, I think I just wrote the worst essay I’ve ever written. In my entire life. And I think it will remain as the worst essay that I will write in my entire life. I was born [at some point in the 1900s], and I will die [sometime in the 2000s], and within that time,Continue reading “The Worst Essay I’ve Ever Written”
Some Sentences and Phrases that Need Context
Language is one of the most incredible tools that humanity has. I love it. I only know one language, English [obviously], and I know that English gets a bad rap for not making sense, having strange spellings and contradictions, but I love it. I do. Human beings have contradictions! Anyway, whatever language you speak, theContinue reading “Some Sentences and Phrases that Need Context”
The Metric System and Other Units and Words
What they won’t tell you about the metric system is how un-poetic it really is. Let’s say I was out there crafting a poem about an arduous journey through a desert. If I wrote something about seeing “nothing but sand for miles and miles,” it would sound pretty good. Now if I were to sayContinue reading “The Metric System and Other Units and Words”
Do You Deserve Love?

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”
