Am I still alive?
Wow, look at that. I didn't do a Top Ten for 2012. I must have died, right?!
No, not really. I just moved to Korea.
If you follow me on YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or really any other form of social networking, you would know that I moved back at the end of August and have been adjusting quite nicely. I just forgot to tell the blog people because ( Read more... ) -
Rant: Chick-Fil-A causes my Facebook to vomit...
There's been a lot going on with politics lately and it's getting to me because...well, it is. In my last post I talked about my Southern Baptist Homeschooler roots, which included some very contradicting ideas to what I support now. Some of it I can get and I can support the reasoning even, but yeah... let's see if I can get a little more clear ( Read more... ) -
Musings on My Adolescence: Skillet
In 2001, I was a high school freshman that had recently moved with my family out of an urban neighborhood into a house that once owned acres of farm land surrounding it. By the time we moved in, all of the farm land had been sold and developed into giant mansions for the upscale and removed citizens of Virginia Beach, Virginia. There was a typical ( Read more... ) -
Top Ten of 2011
Hey, guys.
First off, I know I haven't posted much this year, and there's a good reason for that.

I weep for snobs...
We've all met them and probably been made uncomfortable by them at some point or another. Maybe you are one and think you're the coolest being to ever grace the planet. They're out there, scowling at radios and TVs and stores in the mall.

Big, Scary Men In Suits
I've recently reflected upon one of my all-time greatest fears: academic men in suits. I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out. Setting aside the entire feminist movement, I'm inevitably more intimidated by men in academia than women. It could be the fact that most men in academia are in higher positions of power while women are just professors, ( Read more... ) -
Black Friday
I went down to Dayton this past week to spend Thanksgiving with my family and brought my friend Chelsea with me since she couldn't make it home to California. My car, AKA The Beast, was fine going down there and we had a great time eating insane amounts of food with the family. On Black Friday, my friend Joe was working at Best Buy and asked us to ( Read more... ) -
Aliens
Why haven't we heard from extraterrestrial life? I mean, you look at the stars and each of those stars are a solar system. You see the images of deep space that various satellites and telescopes are giving us, and all those little smudges are hundreds of thousands of stars, each with planets orbiting it. So what's the deal?
