The time has come for me to start looking for my own place, but I’m in a dilemma. I can’t decide if I want to buy a nice house that is move-in ready, buy a fixer-upper to work on as a project, or buy a plot of land and fulfill a long-term goal of mineContinue reading “Should I buy a house, flip a house, or build a house?”

Day 94: Are you even registered to vote?
I see an awful lot of people supporting movements, passionate about civil rights, and sick of the Trump administration which thrills me. It feels good to be on the right side of history.

Day 93: Should I support businesses or stay home?
This is a short post. Mostly, I’m conflicted about the best way to support my favorite local businesses and their employees.

To my friends deemed essential workers, what wouldContinue reading “Day 93: Should I support businesses or stay home?”
Day 91: When is it time to cut someone out of your life?
I don’t want to live in an echo chamber. I don’t want to surround myself with people who agree with everything I say and pat me on the back for saying it. I like being exposed to a diverse array of political opinions. I like seeing differing viewpoints, and I still hold the belief thatContinue reading “Day 91: When is it time to cut someone out of your life?”
Day 83: What have the protests accomplished?
In my hometown, over 2,500 protesters took to the streets to show their solidarity for the Black Lives Matter movement. I’ve never been so proud of my community. I’m relieved to know there are so many compassionate progressives in a location not often known for its liberal values. I, unfortunately, didn’t make this protest, butContinue reading “Day 83: What have the protests accomplished?”
Day 78: Dear non-white friends, how can I help?
I don’t want to be another white person squawking about my opinions of racism online. I think we’ve heard enough. A long time ago I would have been one of those people that denied white privilege even existed. I’ve changed a lot since then. I’ve seen more of the world. I’ve broadened my horizons. I’veContinue reading “Day 78: Dear non-white friends, how can I help?”
Day 73: What are the top 5 destinations on your travel bucket list?
I like making lists. It’s a good distraction, and right now, I feel like we could use a good distraction. I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t have a list of places they’d like to travel to in the world. I, myself, have done some extensive traveling, but I haven’t been to every place on myContinue reading “Day 73: What are the top 5 destinations on your travel bucket list?”
Day 64: How much do you know about South America?
I love studying. I especially love history and geography. And since there’s going to be a little more lock down time left, I’ve decided to start studying countries grouped by continent.

Day 57: Would you survive an apocalyptic world? 20 Questions
I’ve been watching The Walking Dead a lot lately and it’s got me wondering: would I survive an apocalypse? If I had to survive off the land, could I? If another depression hit, would I make it through? I’ve owned the book “Self Sufficiency for the 21st Century” for years and I’m only just nowContinue reading “Day 57: Would you survive an apocalyptic world? 20 Questions”
Day 53: How do we stop the spread of misinformation?
By now you’ve probably heard about this conspiracy theory documentary floating around called “Plandemic: The Hidden Agenda Behind Covid-19.” I saw friends debunking it before I ever got a chance to watch the video, and now it’s been removed from YouTube and Facebook. This, however, isn’t the first time we’ve encountered the spread of misinformation.Continue reading “Day 53: How do we stop the spread of misinformation?”
