Starting a new blog

Is anyone still following this? Well, you might be interested to know I started a new blog on Tumblr. It's generally an easier platform to work with and share, so I'm hoping it'll help motivate me to write more bloggy stuff again. I just got through some political stuff about football or something. Probably nothing you'll be interested in.

So yeah, if you use Tumblr or are willing to try it, I hope you'll follow my work there. I might be getting back into podcasting soon as well, but you know how I am with actually finishing anything I start so we'll see if anything comes of that.

That's all. Good luck out there.

Incoming lengthy philosophical rant

There was a video going around on Facebook that I decided I wanted to comment on, and I just kind of went on a tear. For archival purposes, and possibly to reach a wider audience, I'm reposting the whole rant here:

No Such Thing As A "Self-Made" Man?



I went and wrote another wordy thinkpiece on Facebook in response to a comic that someone was sharing. I figured I might as well repost it here for the sake of giving it a bit more permanence:

Birthday Well-Wishes

Reposted from Facebook:


I want to thank everyone who shared birthday well-wishes with me.

I tend to feel really weird about birthdays because they occupy a strange nebulous space in my understanding of social norms. For instance, if I'm seeing someone in person at their birthday party it makes perfect sense to wish them a happy birthday, but if it's a casual acquaintance or old friend I've grown apart from over time, wishing them a happy birthday from afar feels disingenuous somehow.

Looking For A Little Help

(Or: Noticing A Pattern...)

Pardon me, sir or ma'am. I don't mean to be a bother. I wonder if you could find it in your heart to help me out. I just need a few minutes of your time while I tell you this story. Won't you help me?

Oh, you will? Thank you so much. God bless. I promise this won't be too long.
