Entertainers, Politics, and Ideology

Entertainers, Politics, and Ideology

I wear multiple hats as an independent author. I have a writer hat, a blogger hat, a business hat, and an angsty self-indulgence hat. I have to play all the roles myself. I might as well be Eddie Murphy as often as I’m changing costumes up in here. In the end, my goal is world domination to […]

Words are Weapons

Words are weaons

I’m tired. I’ve been tired for a long time. No. Tired isn’t the right word for it. I’m fatigued. It’s a soul-deep weariness. An exhaustion tinged from frustration and months of heightened anxiety. It mixes with days of contentment, followed by hours of guilt and self-loathing. Such a strange thing—feeling guilt for feeling peace. What […]

Another Thing I Fear

Another Thing I Fear

I came dangerously close to not having a blog post for today. Not because I didn’t write one. I had one ready to go, but I didn’t want to post it. So, I wrote another one. And another. And then three more. Yesterday was President’s day. I was off work and had plenty of time […]

How I plan to save the world

How I plan to save the world I want to save the world. I should be able to pull it off. I’m a pretty motivated guy and I’ve got a few minutes of free time left each day. Should be cake. I need a system—a process I can replicate until all the world is living […]

You're wrong. I'm wrong. Everyone is always wrong: Life as a contrarian

You’re wrong. I’m wrong. Everyone is always wrong: Life as a contrarian

People say I think I’m always right. It isn’t a fair statement. I’m not always right. But, I assume a grain of whatever is being thrown out is wrong. Because, I’m a contrarian. contrarian  noun a person who opposes or rejects popular opinion The definition is a little broad and not functional, but it gets the point across. Like […]

Why I don't post about politics on Facebook

Why I don’t post about politics on Facebook

There was a time in my life when all of my social media posts had some political angle. I blame it on being young and angry. Or at the very least young and perturbed. Then, a few years ago, several things in my life changed. My circumstances and understanding of the world didn’t quite align […]

Epiphany: Economies go through the five stages of grief, too.

Epiphany: Economies go through the five stages of grief, too.

I had an epiphany the other day. Unlike most of my epiphanies, it wasn’t related to food or toys. It was about money. Specifically, it was about who has it, who doesn’t, and most importantly, how robots are going to take it all away from us. I was doing what seems to be my number […]

Chores: The Professional Adult Stance

There is a meme going around Facebook. It is probably nothing. I feel like even giving my voice to the issue is making a mountain from a molehill. And, yet, I can’t help but feel like this one issue which actually contributes to the continued decline of humanity here in the United States. I’m talking […]

Machine Curation is Going to Destroy Humanity

Machine Curation is Going to Destroy Humanity

Robots are taking over the world. They may not appear to be walking metal skeletons armed with laser beams and Austrian accents, but they are just as deadly, just as dangerous, and much, much more prevalent. I’m not talking about drones, roombas, factory bots, or even the disturbing humanoid androids: No, the truly terrifying and dangerous robots […]

Most Opinionated

Voted Most Opinionated – Topical Tuesdays Explained

Hey, remember when I first started blogging? One of my first blog posts was about Obama ordering the NSA into domestic spying because he wanted to steal my porn. From there, I quickly wised-up and headed for the much safer topics of religion and sexuality. So, I began my blogging career by actively seeking out […]
