Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency

For the past four years, I’ve been making blog posts. Over that time, I’ve managed to tally up only 75 actual posts to this page. More than 1000 days, and I’ve made 75 posts. I’m not off to a great start, am I? I’ve never been particularly consistent. It seems in life if there’s oneContinue reading “Overcoming Digital Addiction: A Slow Journey to Consistency”

The Deep Dark Void (of home improvement)

Once again, as has happened every year for the past three years, things have gone horribly wrong. Shocker, I know. Every time I think I’m going to commit to posting more frequently, something comes up and ruins the plan. Maybe I’m the problem, or maybe it’s just dreadful luck. This year, the plan was toContinue reading “The Deep Dark Void (of home improvement)”

What brands do you associate with? American manufactured brands are becoming a staple of my lifestyle currently. I’m pretty anti consumerism, so I don’t buy a lot of new things, but when I do, I tend to aim towards more American brands. When it comes to clothing, I specifically look to Origin brand clothing. ToContinue reading “Origin”

Live With Intention

I’ve been wandering mentally for a long time. And while most would think that there is nothing wrong with that, I tend to disagree. I’ve been floating from topic to topic, mental item to mental item for quite some time. I’ve allowed the many distractions of the world to pull me in different directions.

The Weapon of Focus

I am a man with many weapons. And amongst those many weapons, one important one is left untrained, neglected, and unused. It’s a powerful asset, allowing me to peel away at layers of information like the layers of an onion, and then utilize that information for maximum effect. The weapon is focus. And in anContinue reading “The Weapon of Focus”

How Covid-19 Destroyed Healthcare (It’s Not What You Think)

Disclaimer: There’s been a lot of political nonsense regarding Covid coming from both sides. This is not that. I’ve been working in healthcare for five years, and I’ve been experiencing how Covid has affected us all for the past two. This is what I personally experienced, with no political commentary or opinions. Just a simpleContinue reading “How Covid-19 Destroyed Healthcare (It’s Not What You Think)”

The World Sucks.

I’ve been gone for quite a bit, and I’m frankly exhausted. The world pretty well sucks right now, so I’ve been trying to hold things together for a bit. There’s a lot of interesting things going on in the world though. Wars everywhere. Rumors about other wars. Food shortages, inflation, and all the things thatContinue reading “The World Sucks.”

5.11 Tactical Norris Sneakers (In Multicam)

For those of you that don’t know me, it’s important for you to know from the start that I have found immense use out of 5.11 Tactical Gear. My pants are 5.11, I own three pairs of 5.11 boots, I have 5.11 bags, and a 5.11 plate carrier. I have nothing against 5.11 Tactical. ButContinue reading “5.11 Tactical Norris Sneakers (In Multicam)”

Modlite OKW + Modbutton Lite Weapon Mounted Light System

Modlite is a relatively new arrival to the weapon mounted light scene, and they brought some excellent offerings to the table. With competition names like Surefire and Streamlight in the mix, they had a lot to prove. They delivered, in exceptional fashion, while defying industry standards for what makes a “good light”, and instead wentContinue reading “Modlite OKW + Modbutton Lite Weapon Mounted Light System”
