A friend has been encouraging me to read this book for a long time, so now I’m finally doing it to help me with my dire procrastination habits. Thanks, Jeremy. Continue Reading

The Syrian Refugees
Having posted a lot on political events recently, and throughout the years, I’m sure everybody has an opinion of where I stand on the political spectrum. I’ve said it before that I’m a moderate, although I’ve been labeled a liberal, presumably because my beliefs aren’t at the far right extreme, so by definition, of course… Continue Reading
More about that unfriending; my full length response
Despite suggesting that I was going to cool it with the political posts because of the estrangement it is causing with certain friends, I do have something more to say about it. I was offended at being called out on someone else’s wall; at least that’s how I felt. He tagged me in his post… Continue Reading
Unfriended
I just got unfriended by somebody who evidently took offense to my terse response to being called out, as I saw it, over a political debate tonight. I’m actually bummed out, because he’s a good guy, and we just have different opinions. I admit, I’ve probably tended to make it personal. Maybe it’s time to… Continue Reading

But it’s actually been a long time coming, as I stated in my initial post. But I expect at some point my posts will begin to vary in nature… Continue Reading

Betraying the Constitution (which he swore to uphold): He is turning the sovereignty of the U.S. over to the socialist-controlled United Nations.… Continue Reading
New Blog Site and FB Post Repository
As great as FB can be for posting your thoughts and engaging people, it’s timestamp nature makes it very difficult to reference something you posted even just a couple weeks ago. And I began to realize that a proper blog would be more effective in cataloguing my thoughts. That, and more than one person has… Continue Reading
More thoughts on Paris and the state of the world
I’m not sure if this is the post I had in mind when I mentioned it last night, but we’ll see how it goes…(sorry, Sander, still no TLDR for you) I’ve been struck by how many people on FB are reacting to Paris, as if this is the first time they’ve been exposed to terrorism.… Continue Reading
Paris reaction and social media fatigue
For the first time, I’ve begun to question the point of being on Facebook. I’m not saying I’m going to delete my account, but I’ve seriously begun questioning my engagement with it. I see a lot of expressions of anger about Paris, to name the latest event, and I agree because it makes me angry,… Continue Reading
