Whether you’re a young child or a well-educated philosopher, you’ve most likely pondered the meaning of life before. But that’s not what this post is about. I want to talk less about some arbitrary meaning of life and focus on the typical lifestyle of the modern day. It’s frightening how repetitive and pointless we are […]

Why do we strive for noteworthy credentials when in reality, they rarely matter.

Why do we even bother fluffing up our vitas with activities, when another individual with virtually no […]

I really have no idea why I’m writing about posers on Christmas Day, but there’s nothing else to do at this hour. I’m trying to get people’s input on whether or not the phrase “posers do it better” has any merit. For such an awkward phrase, there’s certainly a lot of thought that goes into […]

Every week, I chauffeur my mother to our family businesses to pick up deposits, reports, and attend to some regular maintenance. The round trip from home to all our stores and back is roughly 100 miles.
