Getting Fired is never a lot of fun, but it gets easier with age. There are several steps that go with getting fired, they all lead to acceptance that the job just was not a good fit. Everyone needs to get fired at least once so they know that it is not the end of the world. Thanks for letting me explain getting fired.

Pregnancy really builds up the birth of the baby. Once it's decided to make life a countdown begins until that life is fully formed. In the past the only thing people did was prepare with a baby shower and maybe a wedding, but now there are gender reveal parties that burn down entire forest and other things that all go into being pregnant. Planned Parenthood handles pregnancy better than any schoo...

Podcast have been a part of my entire adult life and even a bit of my life as a teen. It's amazing to see how this technology has changed and the amount of people that are doing it. Podcast is a medium that is taking over the radio and will probably even take over books. Maybe not books, but it's a great listen. Thanks for letting me explain.

Day jobs are not the funniest thing in the world to people that want to pursue anything else. The best day job is still the worst job ever because it is simply not the thing a person wants in life. In life some people have jobs or careers which provide fulfillment that makes everything fine, but other people, artist, students, or just nomads have to get a day job in order to live a life in the wor...

New Year's Resolutions are very important. Resolution's establish a tone for the rest of the year. A lot of people often think that New Year's Resolutions mean once you fail a resolution that they are done with it, but it is a journey throughout the entire year. These resolutions makes a small growth plan to add a bit more information to your life. Failing during a resolution is just another word...

I caught Covid and most likely it might be Omicron. After being tested the test only says Covid, but all the symptoms say Omicron; such as runny nose, headache, fatigue (mild or severe), sneezing, sore throat, nausea, difficulty breathing, and diarrhea. The last two symptoms are the only things that make you remember that it's not the flu, it is COVID. I am still currently getting over Covid, but...

This time of year makes it a great time to remember what Christmas is all about...wonderful Christmas movies! Some of my favorite Christmas movies are sometimes easily forgotten, but I love reminding everyone that Gremlins, Jingle All The Way, and The Nightmare Before Christmas are the best Christmas movies among a few others with the exception of Christmas being the backdrop of a movie. This is w...

December means there is Christmas right around the corner and Santa Claus will magically appear once again throughout the world. Santa Claus never truly existed to me. Not long enough to actually believe in him. The stories and folklore of Santa Claus range through magically wonderful to insanely unbelievable. Thank you for letting me explain Santa Claus.

Thanksgiving meaning changes every year. It started out in elementary school like a fairytale full of happiness and not insane people sharing a meal then murdering those people that they shared a meal with last year. Thanksgiving is about food and family for most of us, but it is a reminder that this country makes you remember what to be thankful for instead of apologizing for its mistakes in the...

Birthdays are either amazing or terrible, but for me I try to just enjoy the part that I am still living. I do a lot of reflecting when it comes to birthdays especially now that I am a bit older. My birthday is on 11/20 and it's been on that day every since 1987, it is one of those days that I celebrate with my thoughts and memories of those that I have been able to surround myself with and the ex...

Officially the internet started in 1983, but it didn't get popular until after the 2000s. There is a lot of things that the internet helped and assisted the world, but there are also terrible and damaging things that the internet has brought to the world. To truly explain it, would take as much time as finding the bottom of a rabbit hole.

Halloween has always had a special place in my heart. I love Halloween costumes, dressing up for Halloween parties, and especially Halloween movies. Horror movies is such a huge part of Halloween without them it wouldn't be Halloween.

Coffee changed my life and in many ways was the turning point into adulthood. Throughout the many years of people telling me about the effects of coffee, it never changed the effects on me. I drink it in the morning and I drink it at night. To say I'm a fan of coffee is an understatement. 

Writing makes me very happy and I do it every day. I write in some form to make sure that I stay in practice. One of the ways I do that is by writing a blog called " Smirk Fiction " It is also in podcast form with an automated reader under " Smirk Fiction Podcast ". I started writing at a young age once my family was able to get a hold of a computer. This helped me learn how to type in full QWERTY...

Growing up the news was the best part of my night. It was a level of being an adult that everyone accepted in conversation no matter what age I was as long as I was aware of the things that were going on in the world. Listening, watching, and participating in the news over the years shaped my understanding of not only the world, but myself. Subscribe to my Youtube channel Hear Some News and like a...

Vegans live a different life style. People think that veganism only pertains to food, but it really means a pursuit to living without the conception or use of animal products. This means a lot of things to vegans. It creates a path of division on topics such as how to affect the environment best, sustainable clothing, and honey. But, for me being vegan meant I lost a lot of weight and kept it off...

Abortion recently found itself in another legal battle in Texas where women who choose to get one will be subjected to criminal charges. The limitations on the ability to choose an abortion in America makes women vulnerable to obtaining dangerous options on how to handle an unwanted pregnancy. Women since the beginning of time have been told what to do with their body, what to say, and how much th...

This explanation dives into the understanding of Mexicans from an American perspective. Being 3rd generation American Mexican provided me with an outlook on both the identity of being Mexican and the identity of being Mexican-American and the identity of being American. This is why it is so hard for Mexicans to unit in America, we have a lot of identities and only one understand of the story. Grow...

Marriage is a lot of things to people, but mostly it means that a partnership so strong the government needs to break it up. Being raised in a two parent household and having them both being pastors that often officiated weddings put a different attitude about marriage in me. The worst and best parts about marriage constantly remind me of the work that marriage need in order to survive. At least d...

Youth seems to always sit in the background of our lives even during the years that we experience it. Getting older makes it feel like youth flees out of our body during the lackluster rotting part of the other side of the bell curve that we look at through ageing eyes. Certain things come and go in our lives, but ageing and not appreciating the beauty that youth brings appears later on in life, m...

Afghanistan has been America's 20 year war. It lasted through the lives of my friends, family, and countrymen. Watching my country fight a war that never brought an actual answer. The US said they fought terrorism, then they said they were bringing peace, and now they are saying goodbye to the middle east for now. This plan of chaos looks out of place, but after a quick review of history and geo p...

Weed goes by many names, but they all do the same thing and that is get people high~ish. Smoking weed for me has had medical benefits (sleep/anxiety/depression/ etc.) and it has had social benefits, but it is now at a point where there is a lot of information on something that is fairly simple. I have been consuming weed for a little over a decade now at some points being deeper in weed culture, b...

On this episode of Johnny explained I’m explaining COVID-19 and all that that I know about it, what it has done to the world, America, and our own homes. Covid19 was a lot to take in at first and now it is even more to take in with all the information that is out in the world. Not all the information that is out there is correct and that is the information that the professionals have, the none pro...

Comedy is something that not a lot of people experience, but definitely have a lot of opinions on, however this episode is more about my journey into comedy, the craft of comedy, and some rough comedy truths. I appreciate all forms of comedy, but this episode definitely maintains a healthy level of bias of my favorite form of comedy "Stand-Up."
