I hate being the guy that points out that time continues to exist, because it makes me feel old, which I suppose is irony. This year really has flown by though, and I just wanted to write up a post outlining things Ive done so far that Im proud of and what Im looking forward to in the latter half of the year. Honestly, its still strange that were in 2025 at all. I remember that being a year people...

This probably comes to a shock to anyone that knows me well, but I have a lot of hobbies. I have more hobbies or projects that most people even know of. Im not just talking things like watching TV or playing video games - though those do count, Im talking about activities that a bit more hands on and either have an end goal or continuous goals to achieve that give me that dopamine hit and then I c...

Yep, I turned 30 years old today. It feels a bit strange. Not because of any magical or scientific mechanism for being alive for exactly three decades, but because I know that if my 20-year-old or 15-year-old self would see where I am and what Ive done until now, hed probably have a lot of mixed feelings pride, disappointment, sympathy. For some reason I keep thinking back to my 15 year old self b...

Apparently I write Christmas letters now. Do people even do that anymore? These post-mortems are like the emo-edgy version of a Christmas letter. Anyway, we made it. For a lot of people, this was the hardest and slowest year, for others it was super quick. For me it was somewhere in-between, but dont for a second think Im one of those naive saps that thinks the year is to blame for everything goin...

When I launched this blog, I had every intention of writing a post once a month for the whole year. I love writing, but sometimes I feel like its best for me to listen and think first. Actually, those are probably best for me at all times, but here we are. Twenty-twenty has been one hell of a ride. Tensions are higher than ever on every topic under the sun. I didnt want this medium to be a place f...

Its no secret that Star Wars is my favorite seriesfranchiseanything. I first saw Star Wars from an old VHS tape that my parents had recorded from a TV showing on cable, complete with commercials from the early 90s. To this day I cant watch the original trilogy without thinking there should be a commercial break in certain scenes. I was hooked after watching those for the first time, and luckily I ...

I swore to myself I wouldnt post about the issue that the world is facing, but since theres a ton of negativity going on about it, I figured Id do a 180 with these posts and give some advice. In the event that this is read far in the future for whatever reason, Im referring to the COVID-19 pandemic that has swept the world and consequently, my country of the United States. Its been a crazy experie...

Why is it that February is the shortest month of the year, but always feels the longest? Its the worst. Even when Im in a relationship for Valentines Day, the entire month can be summed up in one word bleh. Its the point in winter where we are tired of snowicecold and we get teased of warmer days, especially here in the midwest. Growing up it was always the month that the semester went into full s...

Welcome to 2020. I havent kept a blog in years, outside of some news posts about my music here and there. I decided to spare the world from my emotional ranting for a time. It probably wasnt the best thing to put on the internet, but at least it helped, even just slightly. Fast forward to now, and I missed writing like this. Even if I know nearly nobody will read it, its a good way to kind of keep...
