About this blog

This is where I write anything I want, take it or leave it. I don't consider what's offensive or not, but as a general rule I try not to insult anybody, and if I do...sorry, I guess? Most of what I write about is personal opinion, but I do fact check on stuff that requires fact checking. I would say it's kind of like a diary, but diaries are private and I write with the intent that a few people here or there read it. I hope you find my insights ...insightful, or at the very least amusing and not a total waste of your reading time.

An Average Housewife's View on Gun Control (spoiler alert: it's not about guns)

      Pretend Scenario: I walk into an authorized dealer of firearms and tell the person behind the counter I would like to purchase a gun for home and personal defense. I'm 38, so I certainly pass the age requirement. The dealer contacts the FBI's NICS background department. They instantly report back that I have no criminal history on record. Next, I go to the sheriff's office and apply for the required permits, show my ID, get my fingerprints taken, and perhaps take a training class and pass a live-fire shooting qualification exam if I want the concealed carry permit. Once approved within a few weeks, I'll receive my permit(s) and can return to the dealer to complete my purchase. Huzzah, I am now the proud owner of a deadly weapon! I think I'll name it as I stroke it affectionately. Mistakes were made. They should NOT have sold me a gun. This is not a warning to say "hey, I'm a danger to society." Quite the contrary. I have a strong aversion to conf...

We are Gods

TLDR; We create whole worlds that transcend time and space in a finite universe ruled by entropy. Screw you, mortality. Why do we create? Why do we sing, dance, play instruments, write books, design games, direct movies, paint, build, sculpt, draw, take photos, record videos, etc, etc, etc? As any other creature in existence, we're hardwired to eat, survive, and reproduce. Anything beyond that tends not to serve our evolutionary programming, so why do we humans almost exclusively take it a step further? We create religions, myths, and legends and defend them with our lives. We pour our hearts into our music and stories, we spend large chunks of our lives and spend sweat and tears and sometimes even risk our lives to create things that do not promote the survival of the species. So what purpose does it serve and what drives us to do it? Is it God? I used to think so. I used to think we would not be the creative species we are if not for inspiration from a Creator.  As I've ...

SHUFFLE

TL;DR: I have random thoughts and not all of them warrant an entire page of 12 font rambling. I'm having one of those days where I have too many random thoughts that I'm like "OOH, I could write about that!" but in all reality they maybe warrant a paragraph at best because I'm well aware that my mind inflates things until I'm deluded into thinking my audience of imaginary cardboard cut out people would actually value anything I have to say. With that said, I'll just skip from subject to subject. This is for me, not for you, so, shut up. BEGIN: Reasons I procrastinate. 1) ____. I am a chronic procrastinator. It took me 2 days from entering this post's title to writing ...this word: Bloop. I don't know if it's procrastination so much as it is terrible time management and discipline. I mean a certain amount of leniency should be given considering I'm around a 2 1/2 year old 24/7. Toddlers personify A.D.D. and can bring it out in varyi...
