Am I Wrong?
It’s definitely a question I find myself asking quite frequently. In all honesty it could just be some weirdly obsessive Pavlovian remnant from my school days, but regardless of the cause I think it has helped me a great deal up to the present moment. I’ve even turned it into a sort of game! Asking…

Son of Man
I’ve been noticing a growing trend that appears to be fairly widespread and peculiar. The main personal sign of it was when I decided to quit my job and move in with my grandma. As I started paying closer attention to life around me and talking to more friends and family, certain characteristics revolving around…

Dreaming of Killing Zombies
Last night was pretty freaky. It was the first time in years that I woke up with my heart pounding after being brutally killed in my dream. More specifically, my brain was devoured by a carnivorous zombie… In all seriousness, WTF brain? It’s not like some demon imposed this dream on me to mess with…

Cleaning out the Closet
Earlier today I was trying to get some work done on the computer, but for some reason I felt the need to take a nap midway in the afternoon. I thought I was just being lazy or avoiding responsibility, but eventually the urge took over and I slept for about an hour and a half.…

Nostalgic Interlude
Memories are so strange. At this point, I only have about 17 years worth of them captured in the billions of neurons within my skull, but this storage network is not like a basic file cabinet that I can just flip through consciously. Using that analogy, my brain is more like my old coworker’s office.…

Birdy Made a Nest
Over the past week, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my cousin’s three daughters Halia (14), Kaiena (11), and Naleia (7). They live in Michigan so I usually never get to see them, but now that I have some time to spare I’ve finally been able to hang out with them while they…

Playing the Cajon
Back in March when Sandra visited me from Germany, I had this weird itch to buy a cajon. Normally I am pretty frugal and don’t like to spend money on things I don’t need, but this particular situation was unique. True I just wanted to buy the cajon to mess around with it, so in…

Breathing
So… my grandma is 87. Standing at around 4’10” she looks exactly like your run-of-the-mill, cute old Asian lady. We go for a walk everyday around the block and it’s hilarious because by the time we get home she is completely hunched over and looks like she is continually falling into her next step. Ok,…

The Masculine Order
Ok, I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself by ending the last post saying “the future looks feminine.” In the aftermath of reading that book I was in a partial state of reverie that heavily colored my language, but then again I don’t even think I asserted much of anything in the last…

The Feminine Mystique
Although this was a classic book by Betty Friedan that spearheaded the second wave feminist movement in the 60’s, I admit that I’ve never actually read it and I just want to respectfully tip my hat to acknowledge it. With that in mind, however, there’s something extremely compelling about the phrase “feminine mystique” that I’ve…
