100 Item Living

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,668 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, […]

Familyation

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 […]

Publivacy

Today’s new word is…. Publivacy. Have you figured it out? Ok, well it’s a mixture of Public and Privacy. They are two VERY separate words by definition. However, our current society has mixed them together where public has basically overtaken our privacy. Sure, we think we have privacy, but where exactly do you think you […]

Idle Hands

by in Everyday Nonsense | 1,822 views | Reading Time 5:07

I’m going to take off from yesterday’s article in a little different way. Before the Industrial Revolution, our society survived with physical labor at the core. Our forefathers had to work the land to live. There were very limited amounts of power tools or machines to do the work for or assist them. Most people […]

  Since the Industrial Revolution, our world’s society has focused on being more efficient. Produce more products to serve larger quantities of people at a lower cost per part. We need to lower the cost of manufacturing to increase the profit margin per item. We need to create high volumes of goods to compensate for […]

How Many Faces

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,165 views | Reading Time 5:21

How many faces do you own? How many faces have you built? How do you decide which face to wear? I’m sure you know by now, I’m not really talking about actually owning a face or physically building a face or even wearing a face. What I am talking about is the “persona” behind you […]

Manipulatory

by in Everyday Nonsense | 12,605 views | Reading Time 4:29

Yes, that is not a word and I meant for it to be that way. As you might think, I like to do things a little different than the norm. Today’s article is going to be about a commercial my wife brought to my attention. I guess you can say I’ve had a little influence […]

Clouded Mind Syndrome

In your daily life, how often do you encounter a clear cut answer to a question, any question? It could be something as simple as where to go for lunch or how much should you tip for a meal or even where you should park in a parking lot. These questions don’t have much in […]

Toleration

by in Everyday Nonsense | 1,933 views | Reading Time 4:56

Tolerance, it’s a big word. It implies many things and it gets thrown around a lot when there are differing points of view. Tolerate. What exactly does that mean? Basically it means to allow or put up with something that you don’t agree with in some way. That’s fine, I know everyone is different and […]

Compound Living

by in Everyday Nonsense | 1,847 views | Reading Time 3:23

Based on my last few articles, I want to visit an idea that could be a better proposition for people in our country. What does compound living mean? Is it similar to compounding interest? No. What I am referring to as compound living involves having a multi-tenant building built to serve the needs of several […]
