Life is a Grocery Store
I’ve been having some life dilemmas recently Regarding my education, career path, vocation, existentialism… and I talked to a professor at Villanova today who is the head of the Honors department and he gave me this great analogy: A lot of people think of life as a sprint. But life isn’t a sprint. It’s a… Continue reading

Another podcast episode
Hey guys. So I did another podcast episode because Tuesdays are for podcasting and I plan to stick to my schedule! (Be a DISCIPLINED half-ass, NOT a lazy perfectionist).

Here
I wrote a poem. “Here” I hope you like it When the ghosts of my past have left my body When my dreams no longer keep me up at night I will notice That I Am here Here The human sound we make is everywhere I hear it at the restaurant I go to every… Continue reading

No activity
One of the biggest self-battles I’ve been having with myself since the start of the new year is the concept of leisure. How do I have good leisure? Today I did nothing productive. I slept a lot. I ate some good food. I “relaxed” and played video games. But my soul was never at peace.… Continue reading

?
How do we know anything is real…? Descartes brings up the question of dreams and reality: how do we know what is truly real? Do we even know anything? What if what we perceive as “reality” is simply a dream–and when we supposedly “wake up” from our dreams, we simply wake up into another dream?… Continue reading
