Tumblr

So, this blog just isn’t doing it for me anymore.  I’ve switched over to Tumblr, which you can find here.

Happy Lughnasadh!

Lughnasadh is one of the four biggest festivals of the old Irish calendar.  Imbolc, Samhain, and Beltane being the others.  But today is Lughnasadh, a holiday for honoring the ancient goddess Tailtiu.  Since I don’t imagine too many people doing that nowadays, here’s some other things you can do to celebrate Lughnasadh:
-Bonfires and dancing
-Reuniting with [...]

You Get a History Lesson Today

Why do you get a history lesson today? Because I said so, and because I feel it’s important.  This is one of those awesome, interesting things of history that seems to be not taught in schools. Which is complete bull shit.
The Battle of Cable Street (or the Cable Street Riot)
London, 1936. October 4th, a [...]

History

I am a complete history geek. It has come to my attention many times in recent and not-so-recent years that a lot of people are of the mind frame of “Oh, history is boring, it doesn’t matter. It’s just a bunch of dead guys, what’s so great about them?” I heard one [...]

Coexist

By now, even those of you living under a rock should have heard of the Coexist campaign. If you haven’t, you may have seen their logo as a bumper sticker or a button or something. Usually, it looks something like this: I’ve been seeing a lot of these stickers around, and I decided [...]

Another Philosophical Tangent

Oh my, here I go again.  I was checking James Owen’s blog today.  http://coppervale.livejournal.com/  Why?  Because I’m an Internet addict, but that’s a tale for another post.  I see he’d made another memorable post yesterday.  I’ll paste it in here:
“There’s a metaphor that I’ve assembled (in bits and pieces) from several friends and mentors, which [...]

Learn

I’m going to add something to my Live, Laugh, Love post from yesterday. Hopefully, this one won’t be as long-winded.
Learn:
This is a big world. It’s getting smaller by the day. Everyday, we discover new things, meet new people, come up with new ideas, and slowly decrease what’s unknown about our world. [...]

Live, Laugh, Love

Isn’t that like Abercrombie and Fitch’s motto or something?  Scary.  But, on with the post.
Live:
I am an optimist.  I am cynical, sarcastic, and blunt, but I am an optimist.  I believe that there is good inside people.  It may be buried deep down, but it’s there.  I, for the most part, believe in a philosophy [...]

Oh, the stupidity!

Or, rather more accurately, the inanity.  No, for once it’s not a typo.  Inanity.  Not insanity.
Have you ever noticed that people make completely obvious statements all the time?  Seriously.  Today in school, at the end of the day, there was a Twister mat in the hallway.  No, I don’t know why.  But as I walked [...]

Bad Decisions

This post is inspired by this comic here.  The last panel in particular.
We’ve all made bad decisions.  Unless you’re a saint, and if that’s the case, then you probably shouldn’t be tooling around reading blogs on the Internet.  But like I was saying, yeah, we’ve all done things we regret.  Things we maybe shouldn’t have [...]
