You People Have Favorite BRANDS?
What are your favorite brands and why? Dear God, what have we done? I don’t have favorite brands, and you shouldn’t either. To allow an emotional bond to develop between you and someone selling you a product (typically not even a necessity) is madness. Favorite brands? Insanity. This culture needs a hard reset. We’re pretendingContinue reading “You People Have Favorite BRANDS?”
Dead Men Tell a Lot of Tales, Actually.
List the people you admire and look to for advice… I don’t like most of you. And when I say “Most of you”, I’m talking about most people out in the world. You’re obnoxious, flawed, hateful, and angry. Based on what I’ve seen and read, it’s always been that way. But. There are a fewContinue reading “Dead Men Tell a Lot of Tales, Actually.”
Holy Words and Hope
What gives you direction in life? Direction.. it’s a hard thing to achieve. Long have I floated, much akin to a leaf being pushed about by the wind. Drifting, from place to place, from one event to the next. My path through this life has always been uncharted, aimless, and indirect. Where most people haveContinue reading “Holy Words and Hope”

Peace is a Lie, there is only Productivity

Subverted Expectations
What are your favorite emojis? In subversion of expectations, I’m actually going to talk about emoji today. Yes, me, the serious, philosophical, pseudo intellectual, is going to discuss emoji. Why? Well, it’s quite simple. I think they’re a symptom. Well, a symptom of what? I hear you say it, and so I will answer. EmojiContinue reading “Subverted Expectations”
Every Day I Could Have Written
Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? I am a fearful man, as those of you who have read some of my words have probably gathered. And I have written, off and on, for years, dating back to my childhood. I wrote stories, essays,Continue reading “Every Day I Could Have Written”
Addictech: Devices Designed for You
What topics do you like to discuss? Amongst the many tirades against the vastly steepening decline of any semblance of healthy culture in America, one particular thing stands out to me as a beacon of my own obnoxious rhetoric. Addictech. It’s a phrase that, as far as I am aware of, I coined about twoContinue reading “Addictech: Devices Designed for You”
The Calm of the Storm
As I sit in this storm, I hear the sound of thunder, the patter of rain on the roof and the ground, and smell the smell of rain. I am at ease, after a hard days work. The calm of the storm eases my mind. Though as I write this, I recall the horrors ofContinue reading “The Calm of the Storm”
