by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,669 views | Reading Time 4:58

Yesterday, I ran across a simple article discussing a “movement,” as they described it, involving people living on less. To be more specific, they are trying to de-clutter their lives to less than 100 possessions. They cited a few advantages for living this way: helping the environment by consuming less, de-cluttered living is less stressful, […]

No new made up word for today. I am writing today about a decision handed down by our Supreme Court. The decision, by 5-4, states that the death penalty (capital punishment) cannot be a valid punishment for a child rapist. We have lots to talk about and I am going to cite some information from […]

The particular subject I am writing about today has come up in several conversations I’ve had through the years since my college years. I want to talk about failure teaching at the highest level of collegiate academics. Thus, I have coined the phrase Failademics. I don’t know how many college educated readers are here or […]

Today, I’m going to take on a difficult subject. Well, it’s not really difficult, but I guess we can call it a polarizing subject. People are rarely situated in the middle of this topic as they are either adamantly for it or unabashedly against it. From the article topic, I’m sure you know what I’m […]

If you read yesterday’s article, I talked about superstition and how it fits into sports and also our everyday lives. I mentioned how stupidstition, as I like to call it, is usually just a metaphor for failure.

Now that you are all adequately caught up on my affinity for sports, I’ve decided to give you some more reading entertainment regarding sporting activities.

I’m not sure if you all know, but I have always been a sports fan. I enjoy most sports because I enjoy the heat of competition. Over the years of my life, I have spent countless hours playing basketball, baseball, softball, and bowling just to name a few of the activities. Sports used to be […]

Whoa, another silly word. Today’s new word took me a few iterations to come up with something that you could pronounce out loud. Yes, sometimes it is difficult to come up with a brand new word. I mean, Webster’s has been around for a very long time and they pretty much cornered the market on […]

Today’s article is going to focus on something we all hope to do in our life and about how some people are actually scared of the thought. Retirement, it is some people’s dream and in turn, some people’s nightmare. How can that be? I always thought retirement was the goal of all young adult workers. […]
