  • Investing?!

    For years I’ve tried to get interested in investing money, the stock market, etc but I just haven’t been able to keep my brain on track. That’s changed recently and now I get very excited at the possibilities in front of me. I met with a financial advisor this week and laid out my ideal…

  • The Plan

    I’ve been thinking a lot about what I want to do in the next several years and I know I don’t want to be stationary anymore and I don’t want to live in a place that has miserably hot summers as I do now. I’m not currently in a position where I can leave for…

  • Building A Community

    I’m writing this at almost 10 pm on a Saturday night so this is going to be a stream-of-consciousness post that may or may not make sense. I can’t sleep and I’ve been restless and distracted for a few days. I’ve been thinking about how to find my spot in the world and I follow…

  • Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness

    Yea, I know that’s not the proper spelling for the Smashing Pumpkins album, and that’s on purpose. For the last few months or so, I’ve been extremely depressed. It’s one of the worst bouts of depression I’ve dealt with in recent memory. Well, since 2017-ish anyway. Unlike my last terrible bout, I have been able…

  • How I’m Using ToDo Lists

    I’ve never been good at keeping things in my head. I’ve also never been good at following up on things I write down on a to-do list. It’s quite the hassle if I’m being honest. Towards the end of 2021, I started using my iPhone’s to-do list app and just dumped everything I do, or…

  • Clarity From Knowledge and Experience

    I’ve struggled with my eating habits all my life. I like junk food and fast food and cookies and cakes etc. What I’ve come to realize is there’s nothing wrong with any of those foods in moderation but the way I was eating them was an everyday, sometimes every meal occurrence. That is not good.…

  • Writing For No One, Writing For Me

    It’s not at all surprising but today I enabled site stats using JetPack((https://jetpack.com/)) and saw that my site has had zero visitors. As I mentioned I’m not at all surprised by this since I’ve told no one about it. In the past, I’ve wanted to have a successful blog with a community and, to be…

  • Social Media Break: Day 30

    I did it. I thought this break would give me a bit of clarity on how I wanted to use social media going forward. It didn’t. Over the last 30 days, I was very aware of every time I picked up my phone to open Facebook or Twitter multiple times a day up to and…

  • Finding My Place In The World

    I’ve struggled with the direction of my entire life. I spent some time in the military and decided to do the full 20 and retire. Then I allowed others’ opinions to become my own and got out after eight years. I’ve had no issues staying at jobs for years at a time, but a lot…

  • What Is Considered Social Media?

    I’ve been challenged by what is and what isn’t social media. A few definitions from Merriam-Webster. Definition of social media : forms of electronic communication (such as websites for social networking and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos) ((https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/social%20media)) Definition of social…
