Philosophy and Politics

Today my family made one of the hardest decisions we've had to consider in quite a long time. For many years now we've enjoyed the convenience that has come with internet based commerce, and I personally have lived through many different iterations, from individual websites to mega sellers like eBay. Of course, the most ubiquitous option is Amazon Prime, and that leads me to the current sacrifice...

Over the course of my walk as a Christian man, one of the things I've struggled with the most is praying in public.  I can wander through the corridors of my mind with God nearly endlessly if I'm passionate enough about something to want to talk to Him about it, but when it comes time for that evening meal or to offer up some little thing to say in some other group setting, I find myself reac...

I am very proud to have maintained this blog for more than a year now, and in that time we have grown together to more than 250 followers.  While I haven't been the most consistent with putting out content, it is gratifying to know that at least a portion of those who have made the choice to read the articles I create here are enjoying and possibly agree with my point of view when it comes to...

As someone who has generally struggled in the job search arena, it never ceases to amaze me how inane the process of looking for a new position truly is.  My personal philosophy has always been that I hate looking for work because it generally involved a lot of work that I'm not getting paid to do.  There certainly is a lot of time and effort put into finding a quality position for reaso...

So obviously today is one of those days where I have no choice but to take a few minutes to write about something, mostly because there was a huge development yesterday that has sent shockwaves through the country.  There literally isn't anything else to write about, even the other important things, because this is such a huge deal that focusing on anything else seems ridiculous.  As mos...

I think most of us tend to have a relatively negative view of our work life.  It's easy to get involved in your daily routine and become lost in the mundane banality of the mindless work that is likely a part of whatever it is that you do.  If you work in an office all day, then it's even easier to get into the mindset of things being ridiculous or stupid or meaningless.  While this...

I've been around for a fair bit now, and while I haven't had a multitude of relationships over the course of my life, there are certain truths that I've come to learn over the course of time.  In our modern world, we have come to think that just because society itself is becoming ever more complicated, that must mean that our relationships with the people we care about are also very complicat...

Perhaps the biggest battleground right now is the fight over the "rights" of the LGBT community.  Since the 1980's, we've been watching as the same sex community shouts for equal rights to straight people, demanding access to marriage and myriad other things that have traditionally belonged to normal households.  I say normal because despite what some people might try to get you to belie...

I'm not a very good Christian.  My faith is and always has been very weak and I have a couple of bad habits that no amount of praying or study or anything else has been able to break.  My antisocial tendencies keep me from forming real relationships with just about anyone, and even the people who are close to me in my life struggle to deal with my constant gravitation to solitude.  ...

Some events bring the emotion deep down inside of me rising to the surface, and it boils over into pure outrage.  As we watch leaked video coming out of Shanghai during the course of their oppressive lockdown of the people there, it is incredibly difficult to remain unemotional about the atrocities that are being committed there.  We are watching in real time as a cold, emotionless, zero...

One of the biggest things I've struggled with in my life is the idea that I have goals and I want to meet them.  When I was young, I had a certain idea of how I wanted my life to be, and in my youthful arrogance I though I would be able to accomplish all of it by the time I was thirty.  As I grew older and nothing seemed to be going the way I wanted, I strangely did not become bitter but...

I hate to come back so soon with yet another post complaining about the inequities of life, but I'm at a place right now where I'm incredibly frustrated due to the way the world works.  It seems like at every turn there is just something in the way of allowing a person to take a leap of faith and try to strike out on their own, artificial barriers to entry that prevent people from pursuing op...

I haven't written a real article in quite a little while.  My life lately has been one of inner turmoil, despite the fact that I've been fairly stable financially since I lost my job a couple of months ago.  Since then I've been trying to figure out how to move forward with my life, hoping to avoid the same kind of mindlessly boring jobs I've been stuck with ever since leaving the Marine...
