I follow a bunch of fitness Instagram pages, and I've noticed some things. Most of the time, when scrolling through pics the comments tend to be positive, though every now and then a comment jumps out at me. It might be an overly familiar comment, an overly sensitive comment, or an overly sexual comment. Most … Continue reading Examining Motivations

I have read far too many news articles with quotes of officials stating "we have more cases because we have done more testing", and it is really bothering me. I've tried to ignore it, because I'm sure there are better explanations out there, from far smarter people than me; but I just can't anymore.

I love shows about nature and space. Learning about our planet and others; about space exploration, and the technology that does it. Its addicting to me. I've spent whole weekends watching everything I could find on Netflix. I binge watched Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey, and the BBC Planet Earth series. I've watched shows on the … Continue reading “Down to Earth”
Wednesday was a bad day. Or, at least, Wednesday morning was bad. If you’ve been reading my blog you may already know I have a serious self confidence problem. Its not new, I know I have it, and usually I can deal with it, but sometimes it gets the better of me. Wednesday was one … Continue reading I Had a Bad Day

We’ve all heard the number 1 billion, but have you ever really considered how much $1 billion actually is. Consider this: I imagine most of us have spent $1,000 in one go before. Maybe a smart phone, laptop, new tires for your car, TV, whatever! It was probably a pretty painful day; $1,000 is a … Continue reading Capitalism is Broken
I follow a bunch of celebrities on social media. Probably not as many as a lot of people though, because I have a special rule for which celebrities I follow: Who would be cool to sit down and have a beer with? Of course this is highly subjective, not everyone would like to hang out … Continue reading Celebrities, Stalkers, and Social Media
I saw a news article the other day about Joe Rogan and some controversy over things he and a comedian friend said on a podcast years ago, and I rolled my eyes. I figured it was online backlash about something stupid he tweeted, on the lines of James Gunn’s and (more recently) Hartley Sawyer’s, that … Continue reading Joe Rogan & Cancel Culture
Music is important to me. REALLY important to me. I’m not sure I could live without it. My musical tastes vary quite a bit. My iTunes has everything from classical, to heavy metal. I’ve got 80’s pop music, and modern hip-hop; Techno, and a smattering of country. I collect it everywhere, and it isn’t always … Continue reading On the Importance of Music
