  • I’m Not Happy About Argentina and Despite Not Being an Expert in Argentine History/Politics, I Will be Discussing it Anyway

    This iconic photo brings me back to earlier this year when Elon Musk emblazoned a borderline bedazzled chainsaw at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in DC on stage with Argentine President Javier Milei, symbolizing their shared goal of slashing government spending. Back when I first heard the story and saw one of the pictures,…

  • We’re Out Here Trying Our Best Everyday But Some Days Our Best is Better than Others. Today My Best is Okay

    We are getting close to midnight and I haven’t really written anything coherent today. That’s not good! Here I am trying to change that. No, not trying, I’m changing it. All you can do is something I guess. So I’m doing something. I wish I knew what to do more that would provide more value…

  • Driving Home With Brisket Chili: How a Short Trip Can Rattle One’s Nervous System

    I don’t want to write too much today and don’t entirely know what to write about, so I decided to tell you about my 17 minute trip home from a BBQ establishment this past Sunday, September 21, 2025. Watch, it’s gonna be long af or something. Nah nah, it probably won’t. It’ll probably be a…

  • Voices

    Okay, I’ll admit the title of today’s post is inspired by my love of a good borderline rhyme. Niches, Choices, Voices. Nice ring to it. Voices. That could go a few different ways. We could discuss the greatest voices of our time, like Whitney Houston or Celine Dion. Maybe voices on the radio? Speaking of,…

  • Choices

    I was looking at the picks I made in my football pool and it got me thinking about choices. Is there really an illusion of choice? Why do people make the choices they do? Are people choosing to rig NFL games against me specifically? Well, that’s one question I know the answer to: 100%.  Why…

  • Niches

    The Merriam-Webster defines it as “a place, employment, status, or activity for which a person or thing is best fitted.” Well, that’s at least one of ‘em. I think the only niche I’ve found is an activity or two. I’m very good at geography games and flag matching quizzes. I’m not the best in the…

  • What’s good?

    This is such a simple question, isn’t it? WRONG. But really though, how are you? Jk. The concept of good vs bad is one of those I want to sorta dive into because it can really branch off into… who even knows what. I also think it would benefit my soul to have a solid…

  • Where We’re Going

    For years, I’ve considered writing about what I’m feeling, the stuff I’m interested in, etc. Now is as good of a time as ever to start I guess (I don’t think there’s ever a good time, so I finally started).  I somewhat recently began jotting down ideas for jokes for the first time ever. Years…

  • Why I’m Starting This

    “You’re a really good writer.” I heard this a few times through college, but I didn’t really believe it. Partially because it is definitely a stretch to include the word “really” and partially because I did well, but not great, in high school English classes.  My prose isn’t sophisticated and my style won’t inspire a…
