Writers Block!
I haven't updated this journal in so long! I have plenty of things to write about, given the upcoming events, but I don't know how to articulate them. I've tried updating this thing several times these past two months, and the results just turn out to be so bland...so I don't bother posting them ( Read more... ) -
March Madness!
So far, this has been a crazy month! Is it because of all the March Madness events that have been going on. No, it's not, as I don't really know what March Madness is. Rather, it is because I've been making some decisions that will profoundly affect my life and sound rather crazy for those who know me.

I've been doing a lot of soul searching this month, figuring out what I need to do in order to fill the missing pieces of the puzzle that would make my life more interesting. Actually, I've been playing with the idea of scraping my social anxiety and just making myself do things that I want to do, as my father had done when he was about my age ( Read more... ) -
The Art (and Butchery) of Communications

Barack Obama for President?
It is astonishing how much of a lead Barack Obama had over Hillary Clinton in South Carolina! This campaign of change, in which he started has truly broken racial, gender and generational barriers, it seems. Originally, I was leaning towards voting for Hillary for President of the United States, but Obama's victory speech in South Carolina has ( Read more... ) -
Why Do I Do This To Myself?
I just don't understand why I spend countless hours feeling sad about myself. I'm about to finish school at ITT, and have already managed to get a bachelor of science degree from Kettering, which was a very, very difficult thing to do. And yet somehow I feel that I have managed to throw all that away. I look at job postings and read about people ( Read more... ) -
Observation: About Innovative Ideas
I sit here, reading a book that was published some years ago that has many interesting ideas about how to reduce excessive consumption in society. These ideas are certainly not new, but they are not well known because they have not been implemented. Reflecting on this has made me realize that there are so many innovative ideas that people came up ( Read more... ) -
Oh, Nevada, My Wretched Love, How I Love Thee!
I just got back from a two-and-a-half day trip to visit my relatives in Fallon, Nevada, which is my hometown. Well, I could consider myself to have a lot of hometowns with my nomadic lifestyle, but Fallon truly has a most special place in my heart as it is the place of my very origins. Thus, Nevada will always be considered my home state.
