  • Don’t Sell Yourself Short.

    A boss of mine (or, really, a boss of a boss, even better) once said to me that I shouldn’t sell myself short. It was the last thing he said to me, actually, other than maybe “Bye,” or something, and my response was something along the lines of, “You, too.” He was a very creative…

  • Now, here’s an idea. How about a book where I am sort of playing the role of a travel agent, or a real estate one, and selling you on the idea of a vacation into the spiritual awakening and what Adyashanti might call “spiritual loafing,” that is available to you, right now.

  • Rigorous Schedule: The First Day.

    So, the first day of my rigorous schedule, which as I told someone whom I matched with on Bumble was [] ambitious to a fault, was better than could have potentially been expected (i. e., it could have potentially been expected, to be worse) to be, given my Recent predilection for just . . .…

  • Extra Leeway.

    Stefan Molyneux had a good thing in a recent episode about how, when people said to him, or someone apparently did, write it in the Comments, that women physically abuse children more than men do, it’s because they spend more time with them, we don’t give that leeway to men, for example if they were…

  • Some 2024 Goals.

  • Good Insight.

    I was watching a conversation between Scott the Woz and James Rolfe of the Angry Video Game Nerd show, and these two people, despite having chipper and angry presentations, respectively, in their own shows, are just about the calmest, most almost milquetoast couple of people in the world, and here they were, talking for an…

  • Reading Successes.

    When you’ve been battling the lack of your reading progress as much as I have, you feel like the Angry Video Game Nerd taking down another bad game. I’m not calling these bad books. I’m just saying that it feels like the same myth Sisyphean quest. But I have come to realize, if you’re enjoying…

  • Looking Ahead, into the New Year.

    This new year, we will see if it seems to work out well to impose a rigorous schedule, or if I will, as it said in a thumbnail for an Eckhart Tolle video on YouTube, stop wanting and start living.

  • I really am struggling with seeing so many illegal immigrants all around me. Just a horde, a flood, a Flow of these people breaking into a country they literally are breaking the law of to be in and contrasted with the strictening laws for the actual citizens, of those countries. It’s like you’re a child who…

  • Don’t Think for Yourself.

    I was watching the Christmas episode of BoxMac and Red Cow Entertainment, and one of the guys on it went the extra mile to say, when he was speculating about cheese, that it was a “theory.” (I. e., a “Conspiracy theory .”) Well, here it is, guys. If you make one conjecture, i. e., think…
