SCROLL

We don’t need no credibility because we are incredible. Kill one man – get a life sentence. Kill a car full of people – get off Scott-free because you’re a wealthy brat, suffering from affluemza. Kill millions and get elected for a second term in America. God bless america. what we make of our lives […]

A little older. A little older. Time flies so fast that I don’t know where it goes sometimes. It seems like only yesterday that I was stepping into MP100 for a math class that I was 15 minutes late for. Looking back at those times, it would seem that I felt like an outsider looking […]

Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Focus. Being content where you are can be a difficult thing to achieve. More often than not, it’s a shift in your attitude and perspective that can change your life, rather than the fixes and solutions you originally thought would fix things. Happiness can be leased but never bought. The happiness […]

PostIKEAism. Discovering that you’ve evolved from the days where you used to use the IKEA ‘shopping list’ tool to plan out your perfect pad, to a more critical state of mind that’s capable of seeing the deficiencies and lack of quality often found in their products.

Shuffle. Shake. Remix. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Blink. Shake. Wake up. Years gone. Time flies. Wrinkles appear. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Twenty-six. 26. Time flies. Stop the boat. It drives me crazy when I hear people who insist they have ADD, ADHD, or other forms of attention disorders, simply because they have a difficult time concentrating on […]

While reading a blog written by an individual of a religion-I-shall-not-state, I was saddened – horrified, really – to read as the writer so callously explained massive acts of genocide executed by ‘god’ or those who claimed to follow it. god has no gender. “god waited over 400 years until the optimal time to execute […]

The other day, I was feeding my betta fish, Spartacus, and thinking about the way that a betta fish will attack its own reflection if you put a mirror in its tank. It struck me that human being really aren’t much different than the other animals on the earth. From innate homosexual tendencies to the […]

Taking the time to write down my thoughts in this blog is one of the few guilty pleasures I seem to not indulge in on a regular enough basis. The things that we need the most are often the things we take care of last. From proper nutrition/exercise to the relationships we have with our […]
