Planning For An Apocalypse

Are you planning or thinking about planning?

Apocalypse, a word we hear too often in 2018, and a lot in 2017 and the year before that, and before that. Pretty much for the last few decades, it has grown to be more and more commonplace. Whether it will be by some crazy mutated disease, nuclear war, asteroid, alien invasion! Or a so-called-Zombie Apocalypse. You ask just about anyone, and most will surprise you with their "plan" in case something happens.

I have heard a lot of people respond with something similar too " I will grab my guns and head to a Walmart or Store, and set up camp on." Or "Go to the nearest Walmart and stock up on supplies." And even "Plan? I am not telling you what it is except I am prepared." With having a plan and being ready already such a big thing to a lot of people, shouldn't your plan include knowing that others have these types of plans?

I suggest planning ahead if you chose to have a plan or worry about such things. But, plan ahead that, others will panic, survival will take over, and self-preservation will activate in the large majority of the population. People will flock to the stores and harm each other in the process to take what they need, especially when the real panic sets in. So, you either want to have supplies and stuff already on hand or you want to have basics and have a plan as to how to get things.

I won't lie to you, I myself have a plan for in case something happens to where I feel I have to protect my family. I am not going to go into great details as it is my plan. But, it is something to think about. Its right up there with having an escape plan from your home in case of a fire. Accept this plan is all about what you might do in case the world plunges into chaos, and it potentially reaches your town or front door.

With multiple governments and government agencies around the world with their own various apocalypse plans, it truly may not be a bad idea to think about one for yourself and family. More as a just-in-case sort of measure. But, if you get into it and become a doomsday prepare then more power to you. Whatever floats your boat as they might say; and whatever you plan might be, just be sure to really think it out. People will also be planning; others will be in a chaotic survival mode and flock for supplies. I would not recommend flocking to the nearest store or station to join the mad rush for supplies. Either have some ready or be prepared to wait things out a bit while the chaos moves on or settles down. Remember your priority is safety for yourself and your family.

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:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
