I am not an atheist and I never could be one. But it seems that in this day and age, atheism has become the new popular and cool philosophy to fit in with. Everybody's doing it. I do not find atheism repulsive and terrible. Atheism, at face value, is simply the belief that there is [...]

Hi there loyal blog readers — all four of you. I haven't updated this in awhile. Well rest assured, further updates are coming; I just haven't had time! I've had too much time for life! Well the most major change that some of you have heard about is that I am dating someone. Her name [...]

Psychology kind of interests me sometimes. At least when I get to do things with it at my leisure and not for a class, anyway. Recently I've been looking back at something called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which is a system used to identify 16 different personality types based on four different binary qualities. It's [...]

The one thing I don’t like about the great American experiment is the way that the party system has played out. I'm not the first person to have concern over this, as even some of the founding fathers themselves, such as Hamilton and Madison, recognized the immense danger posed by factions and group think. Take [...]

This is what I've been thinking about lately: how utterly meaningless my life is, and probably your's as well. I guess I can understand if you're tempted to dismiss this as me being bleak and cynical, but hear me out. It's no secret that I've gotten pretty worked up and stressed out over things like [...]

Seriously, just tonight I had a revelation and I think I've got it down now. Oh, and by the way, after figuring things out, I've realized that the "sign" I was hoping for two posts ago is probably meaningless. I've come to accept that not everything that happens is going to be a sign; that's [...]

At some point in August, I just started becoming aware, much more frequently, that a lot of little things in life can be taken as metaphors and analogies for much bigger life events. It can be simple things, like getting lost while driving and having to take repeated U-turns, immensely pouring rain showing up pretty [...]

I'm a math major and a computer science major. Many people might find these sort of fields difficult to understand, obscure, and generally "hard." But I like to think that I'm pretty good at both. I mean, I'm nothing special; there are plenty of mathematicians and programmers out there who have a much deeper understanding [...]

Abstract: You're not always right. People are killing themselves, so stop being so freaking stubborn about whatever it is you're so sure of and stop being an elitist prick. Yes, you. 1 in 119 deaths is a suicide. That means that of the 6½-billion people in the world, 55-million would rather die and forfeit the [...]

So I'm pretty much an old man now, and I've been thinking lately about what this means. Legally I've been considered an adult for over five years now. I'm allowed to indulge in the cancer sticks and the giggle juice at any point without reprimand, although as most of you know, I don't and won't [...]
