  • 80 Years Ago

    This week marks the saddest day in any warfare that has ever occured–the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There really isn’t much to say. Hiroshima was bombed August 6, 1945. 70,000-100,000 people died instantly. Children, parents, innocent people who just enjoyed the cherry blossoms. By the end of the year, 200,000 people in total… Read more

  • All of this was written by ChatGPT with more and more instructions to make it more clear and more humorous. “Caffeine, Cats, and the Occasional Crisis” There’s exactly one water bottle on the table today, and that feels like personal growth. Next to it sits my trusty planner — open, ambitious, and largely ignored —… Read more

  • What is Truth?

    In the book of John, Pontius Pilate had to determine if Jesus was guilty or not. So this is the conversation that occured… So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.” For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify… Read more

  • It’s about that time of the year where people flood to the beach with a good mystery, romance, political book, or even snuggle in the sand with a bit of Shakespeare. Oh, but wait a minute are you allowed to do that anymore? “A Study in Scarlet” by Arthur Conan Doyle–BANNED “Fifty Shades of Grey”… Read more

  • This Is Your Time

    VERSION 2 of “Don’t Let The Sun Set“ I withdrew from California State University, Northridge for loving reasons. I was not expecting any response to those loving reasons, but I was also not expecting a cold email repeating something I said I already knew in a previous email. While I was trying to be honest… Read more

  • There were people I cared for very much who disagreed with the school I was going to. You can read about the adventure in See Sun. As time went by and classes were soon approaching, I decided to leave because I didn’t want to disappoint them. So, I decided to give up my dream because… Read more

  • Pro-Life?

    (SHORT VERSION) I realized as I wrote and researched for my first “Pro-Life?” blog entry it was a bit long, so I decided to create a semi-shorter version. I do encourage you to take time to read the long version. This may not be as clear and certainly not as thorough because I will mainly… Read more

  • Pro-Life?

    (LONG VERSION) There is a shorter version of this blog post. With the recent passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), there were some cuts in there that seemed regressive to me. This blog is not meant to be a political argument, just a statement of curiosity. In February, 47 made a White… Read more

  • Do you ever wonder if non-humans believe in God? Well, the scientific community has questioned this; many say the things they do may look religious but are actually just ritualistic. These elephants are visiting the bones of a fallen matriarch, just as we would visit the grave of a loved one. This might be ritualistic… Read more

  • Thank You?

    Some people are able to volunteer in many capacities–nursing homes, camps, homeless shelters, religious organzations, hospitals, classrooms, community gardens, and the list goes on. The person who volunteered because they were required to do so or volunteered to do so because they wanted to both chose to put themselves in that position, yet why do… Read more
