  • 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…

  • Goodbye Spotify

    Joe Rogan’s misinformation and lies are not “presenting another side”. They are harmful to society and have been refuted by medical professionals((https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/covid-misinformation-joe-rogan-spotify-petition-1282240/)) along with a few famous folks ((https://www.npr.org/2022/01/29/1076670679/joni-mitchell-neil-young-protest-spotify-rogan-misinformation)). I canceled my Spotify account today and deleted the app off my phone. I won’t be going back to them until they have some sort of…

  • New Laptop!

    I recently picked up a new laptop for myself! My last one still works except for the battery, which doesn’t last very long and isn’t easily replaceable. For the last decade or more I’ve been a Linux-only user. I won’t go into the Windows vs Linux vs Mac because I honestly don’t care anymore! I’ve…

They’re structured and most are trying to provide some kind of information. I guess I should include my own blog in this…

  • These Posts Suck

    Look, I’m not a writer. I have written in the past and not to brag but a story I wrote in 7th grade did win 1st prize in a regional competition **knocks the dust off shoulder**. Every time I start a new blog I get extremely self-conscious. I start asking myself things like “who are…

  • Social Media Break: Day 7

    I had to count the days to make sure it had only been a week. It feels like it has been so much longer. I have been making an effort to be more aware of time and how I’m spending it. I’m using timers a lot for things like watching tv so that I realize…

  • Dead Tree Books or Kindle?

    I’ve mentioned in another post that I set a goal this year to read at least 10 pages of a book per day. I’ve had no issues at all sticking with that but I stumbled across BookTube, which is a niche on YouTube that has to do with, you guessed it, books! Every channel I’ve…
