Numb
I hear so many people struggle. I’ve known struggle myself, but sometimes it’s hard to look inward. Between substance abuse, lashing out or quiet depression….. It’s all just a way to numb ourselves from reality. Running from the reality of the now. Who wants to just sit and feel bad? Why change when I can just Continue reading

Home, Sweet Home.
Well, it took a lot of time and patience, but I’m home. Finally built a computer for the first time and man, it’s beautiful. A little more complicated than I thought when it comes to motherboard connections, but other than that, pretty cool. Finally have all the things I need to kickstart my technological journey.

Jack of All Trades
Jack of all trades, master of none. My Grandad’s resonating voice falls over me with a calming presence echoing this phrase over and over. His master work ethic was a thing of marvel.

The Education Façade
I’ve always disdained modern values or the lack thereof. The absence of originality and disregard for relevance to individuals.

I’d sit Continue reading

Expected to lead others, network, control conversations and steer interest toward a certain Continue reading

Let Them Know
I want to get better at letting people know I’m thinking about them. You don’t know how long you have them. How long they have you. I have a ton of good memories. They’re often linked to music and some sort of experience. A couple days ago I was listening to music on shuffle and Continue reading

Capitalize on Motivation
Motivation is a term I’ve come to hate quite a lot. It’s the military buzzword for everything. Be prepared for someone you don’t know to approach you and scream, “ARE YOU MOTIVATED!?” for no reason. Everyone describes themselves as “motivated” by regurgitating the the last thing the “cool guy” did/said. It just irritates me. The Continue reading

Update
Well, I said I’d use this to post my progress. Looks like I have quite a lot of updating to do. I’ve spent the past countless months studying for my A+ exam. I’ve dabbled in Python, HTML, JavaScript, CSS, Linux, and a plethora of other IT related subjects. I’m pretty sure I know what I’m Continue reading

The Beginning…
The Beginning… I write this as I sit hunched over in a small camping chair, staring at my laptop next to my rack at Camp McGregor, Fort Bliss. I’m a few days away from deploying to Africa and I’ll be using this blog to mark the beginning of a journey. Although it may seem random, Continue reading
