About a year ago, Swedish House Mafia were on their Paradise Again World Tour, and were scheduled to play at Chase Center in the City. I jokingly said I wanted to get tickets to see them. I say "jokingly" because their brand of EDM isn't exactly my cup of tea. Their big room, pop-leaning anthems are fit for Ultra at Miami, which isn't my scene. ( Read more... )

How much of life is just being at the right place at the right time? And "right" in this case doesn't and isn't always a positive. After all, being involved in a car accident can be a case of right place, right time ( Read more... )

After my last post on The Last of Us season 1, episode 3, I was going to follow up shortly with additional thoughts expanding on the episode and to related themes. Obviously, that didn't happen as there's no rhyme or reason to when and what I write about anymore. I'd say I will get around to it, but getting around to it might not actually happen ( Read more... )

The talk of the television/entertainment media recently has been on HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us. For extremely good reason, it's an absolutely amazing show. But to a degree, that's expected. It's HBO, after all, home of "prestige television." HBO spends big money on quality shows, and it tends to show. Add to it, there was hype around the ( Read more... )

Most days, I'm atheist-leaning. I'm not against the idea that omnipotent beings can and may exist in the universe, but I am generally against the idea that it's one all-powerful being, and that we're carefully placed here with a purpose and whatnot. I don't necessarily need to lead any kind of life in hopes that what's after this is better or worse ( Read more... )

During the summer months, I've taken to taking cold showers. What with the temperatures being warmer (because it's the summer), the cold water hitting my body ranges from tolerable to refreshing, depending on how the air temperature is. Additionally, I normally shower after I've completed a run, so I'm sweaty and feel hotter anyway, so I'm seeking ( Read more... )

I've been to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I've been in this institution. I've interacted with this person. I interact (present tense) with this person on a fairly frequent basis due to my occupation ( Read more... )

If you're reading this and you're a Bay Area resident like I am, then this Labor Day weekend 2020 is a scorcher. Triple-digit Fahrenheit temperatures are breaking records, and it just normally is not this hot here. By all means, triple-digit Fahrenheit temperatures are hot wherever you are, but it stands out some here because, like I just said, it ( Read more... )
