My Thoughts on the State of Things!

Well it's that time of the every other year or so were I actually do a blog post. I'm not sure why I don't post here more? Maybe because I've been writing professionally now for so long that I don't like to write for free as much as I used to? Or maybe I just get burned out on writing or commentating on stuff? Probably a little bit of both.

Life is funny, if you are a fairly functional human being you learn and you grow. I feel like with all of the big downs and big ups that I've personally been through over the last few years I'm a different person now then I was even 5 years ago.

This is becoming evident in my professional life as well as personal. I will have some big news coming within the next 3-6 months hopefully that really could change my life for the better career-wise. If that doesn't pan out it's back to the drawing board and that has been a scary thought for me.

I feel like I'm starting to be ok with that. I hate to fail, I even have a tattoo on my arm that says "Dare to Fail" and I really strive to live my life like that. The problem is I play it safe a lot. Which brings stability but stability doesn't get you where you want to go and I"m learning that as well.

Basically I could be on the precipice of major life changes in 2016 or worst comes to worst 2017. I realize it's time to get going. I'm way over qualified for my job. I'm basically waiting there, waiting for a chance to do something that I want to do. The wait is soon to be over though and I'm excited.

I'll update more when I know more, for now I suggest everyone follow your dreams. Life is really short and you can wait to long for stuff to happen. Hopefully I haven't and hopefully I won't.

This Is Where You People Are Getting Silly

First off I know there are a lot of problems I could write about right now. I've been wanting to do a blogpost about team politics and the wealth that really makes the decisions in politics. I will probably write it eventually but not today. This post is about this statement I've been seeing lately on all of my social media accounts. "White Privilege" or the more expansive one, "White Male Privilege". I understand, like, and respect Progressive thinking but this is where they are getting just silly. I read a quote today where they said, "Talking about your white privilege is realizing you will never know what it's like to live like someone else. It' not an attack on what you have." That is disingenuous at best. It's the same thinking as someone saying that you can't comment on children or parenting if you don't have a child. It's just bad logic. It also is meant to be an attack or a guilt trip on specific people for some...

The Childishness of a Two Party System

Sometimes I think about what the distant future will be like and I picture a teenager taking 9th grade history asking his teacher the following  question about this time in our history. Teen- "So let me get this straight the U.S. used to have a system with two major parties that disagreed with each other to the point where they couldn't move forward on anything because the whole point was to disagree and block the other party from doing anything positive?"     Teacher: "Yes that is basically what they did back then" Teen "Well pardon my language but that is fucking retarded"     Teacher: "Yes that is completely fucking retarded and we can say those words here in the future because we are not influenced by religions anymore and we can speak to each other like adults and swear if the conversation warrants it, and in this case 'Fucking Retarded' sums up the two-party political system correctly" Yes I know I'm a dreamer to t...

Comparing Trump to A German President, Not Hitler But the Kaiser

By Nick Babel The easy comparison made about Donald Trump is one to the infamous Adolph Hitler. While there certainly is some similarities, i.e. populist rhetoric, over the top goofy appearance, a better comparison can be made to the man that forced Germany into the Great War, WWI. That man was Kaiser Wilhelm II and he was a man whose inferiority complex led to millions of deaths. Kaiser Wilhelm has been historically described as “ Bombastic and impetuous, he sometimes made tactless pronouncements on sensitive topics without consulting his ministers.” Now there was no Twitter back in Wilhelm's day but this seems like an apt description for the current leader of the “free world” Donald Trump. Both Wilhelm and Trump suffer/suffered from a massive inferiority complex. For Wilhelm there were several factors for this complex. Wilhelm was born to parents Prince Frederick William of Prussia (the future Frederick III) and his wife, Victoria, Princess Royal, the eldes...
