I Am Fed Up

We are tearing each other apart.

I Am Fed Up

Before I start, I want to say that I am by no means trying to offend anyone. I am just expressing my thoughts and feelings on the behavior I have seen these past few weeks.

Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter

I don't understand this. I know that "Black Lives Matter" supposedly doesn't mean that only black lives matter. But what is wrong with saying, "All lives matter?" I have never been taught to see color, and I do not. Why not "American lives matter?" Why are we creating a racial divide within ourselves? Every American is a human.

That is it.

It doesn't matter your skin color, gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity or religion.

The world is far too ugly and nasty without all of us turning on each other. A life being taken wrongfully is wrong. In order to fix it, you go to the source. But these recent tragedies have only created a bigger and bigger divide.

We all need to come together and celebrate our differences and embrace each other.

Law enforcement

Again, not meaning to offend anyone. We need to respect the law enforcement. They put their lives on the line every day to protect us all. Yes, clearly there have been a few bad eggs, but two or three bad eggs does not spoil the entire carton. They leave their house and families to protect yours and mine.

Think about it — if you have an emergency, who do you call?

Exactly my point! What would you do without them? I know I have peace in knowing that there are men and women out there willing to risk their own life to save mine.

Sense of entitlement

I don't normally like Tomi Lahren (she's a bit too intense for me), but I think people need to hear this message.


Like I said, this was not written to offend anyone. Only to express my frustration with how things are going right now in America.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:
