Talk To Yourself
For many, talking to yourself is weird. Why the hell would I talk to myself? I’m me and I already know what I’m thinking, duh. Fair enough, but you’re actually really missing out. Talking to yourself has its perks. Because of the constant flow of failures (yes we all have them), we live in a […]

Ghostwriting
I briefly considered ghostwriting. I needed to get a job and so far, life experience has shown me that I hate working for other people. The ass-kissing required to move up, the stress of disappointing someone you may not even respect, the lack of autonomy you have pertaining to your day-to-day schedule. I’ll come clean, […]

Theories in Writing
Ernest Becker wrote in his book, The Denial of Death, “… [I]n order to turn out a piece of work the author has to exaggerate the emphasis of it… and he gets carried away by his own exaggeration, as his distinctive image is built on it.” Basically, Becker is explaining that with every theory or piece […]

The Time-Out Orb
What’s that? Do you feel it? You’re reading and there is no one else around, maybe just your pet or the sound of a ticking clock.

Are Our Attention Spans Shortening? (An Internet Mystery)
I was going to write a post about flakiness. I really was! I had been inspired by a segment in Eric Barker’s Barking Up The Wrong Tree and Charles Duhigg’s The Power of Habit and saw a connection between the two. In order to write my own thing, however, I needed to do some of my own research […]

My Takeaway from The Beginner’s Guide
I just finished playing The Beginner’s Guide. I loved it. I absolutely adored the way it played out and the different interpretations you can take away from it. That’s it. That’s the shortest summary I can give about how I felt emotionally. If you’re willing to stick around another thousand or so words, I’d like […]

A First Glance at an Eighth Income Tax Bracket
On January sixth, 2019, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez vaguely proposed a potential tax increase for the richest in the United States to 70% (Cooper). Though this was certainly not an official proposal, both right and left wingers alike have begun to seriously discuss this suggestion. Because of a lack of specificity, considering that the proposal was […]

The Time Seth Shot a Deer.
Hi, I’m Seth. You don’t know me– or at least I don’t think you would know me. I kinda keep to myself. There are very few things that I’ve done that I really feel like talking about. However, there’s one incident that I just can’t seem to get out of my head. It has been […]
