Life Is An Ocean: Fix Your Ship!
Life is hard. No matter what people want to tell you, parts of life suck, and you eventually have to deal with it. You deal with it, or you numb yourself until you die. Those are, generally, the two options. In the Shipyard Think of yourself as a boat and life as the ocean. We…

Virtue-Signaling Idiots
I’ll get straight to the point. No one gives a shit about your virtue signaling, except you. Really, no one gives a fuck. You might find a close circle of like-minded people who throw applause your way, but it doesn’t have anything to do with you, only them. They feel validated when you cater to…

Putting on the Veil
If there is one thing I can’t stand is people who refuse to take off the veil of deception and open their eyes. Sure, it can be more comfortable to keep the veil on, to continue to be ignorant, at least in the short term. We have been trained for generations to be unable to…

Technology’s Hinderance
Technology is supposed to enhance our lives, not hinder it. It is very rare for technology to replace something. The car didn’t replace the horse. We still use horses for transportation to this day, although not anywhere close to where we used to. Even the humble automobile has turned into a futuristic spaceship that can’t…

Growing up, we were taught the US was the best country in the world. For the most part, I still think that’s true, but it isn’t…

Old Ways Vs. Progress
With all of the issues surrounding Boeing these days, they are constantly in the news… for not really good things at all. It’s one thing to have a lot of issues with your planes, but it’s quite another to have issues with your human-flight space crafts. Don’t you think you should get air travel down…

Empathy is Hard
Empathy is complex, and it might be difficult to describe in today’s world. It seems as though it’s a rare quality to find in people with everyone wrapped up in themselves and social media. Empathy isn’t something that is glorified in the news media. Instead, it is condemned and pushed to the side. Why try…

Despair
I understand despair. I have felt it; I am feeling it. I might not understand the deepest levels of it, but I can sure understand it. I understand the feeling the world is closing in on me, slowly crushing me, squeezing the air out of my lungs, making it so much more difficult to breathe.…

Rules For Thee And Not Me
One of the things I hate the most is when people do not abide by the rules they enforce. It doesn’t matter the environment, it irks me still the same. What’s worse is when the people make the rules decide it’s beneath them to follow the rules they create. I’m not the best rule follower,…
