Taking New Steps and New Leaps
Eventually I hope to make a real actually philosophical post on here, but currently its final paper time at the university. That’s just one of the things that I need to work on along with a paper for several philosophy conferences. Deadlines are hard taskmasters, but they drive me to the desk and beat a […]

The Need For Reflection
Bends in the road happen at the most unexpected times. We don’t have time to think in the moment. It just happens and then we are left to deal with the after effects and reflect on the changes that happen inside of us. Most people, I have come to see don’t do this though. We […]

Things I Am Learning…
Life has to be lived. That seems kinda generic, but something I’ve been thinking about of late. And the fact that Love hurts too, no matter how much you care it just hurts all the more. Yet, that’s ok. I mean, really it’s ok. Loving puts you out there, to be vulnerable and nobody is […]

New Anthology! “Until Dawn”

Everyone is mixed up about Love
Over the course of the past couple weeks I have seen a new surge of blog posts such as this. There are even other ones such as this as well. The main thesis of these two articles seem to be counter acting lies that have been told in culture, yet the truth telling here is […]

What Do People Really Want?!
*Writer’s Preface – Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Life sorta caught up with me and I’m working on a project with several other writers to produce an anthology like I did last December. Please be patient with me and I’m going to try and resume my normal posting schedule. Now back to my […]

Whoo it’s my favorite holiday ever! July 4th!!! Um….false…Sorry for those of you who may be hardcore patriots or some form of bleeding heart for the ol land of the free and the brave, if you are one then you shouldn’t read any further. Anyways, I’m not a fan for a myriad of reasons. See […]

Running: The Masochistic Activity
I went for a run last night in almost a month and a half hiatus. For those of you that actually run do you ever have the moment when you think; “What the hell am I doing?!” Running is proably one of the most strenuous things that happen to the body, since for me it […]
