  • Weird Together

    Weird Together

    I could’ve called this host a community of weirdos. Instead I chose to call it by this title. I have been listening to talks about how subcultures and how people in subcultures find each other. It’s a part of our identity formation to find a community where we fit. You…

  • Identity Caption 2

    Identity Caption 2

    Photo that needs a caption. What is this guy saying about his identity?

  • Mature with the Artist

    Mature with the Artist

    This idea came awhile ago. I’ve been sitting on this draft for almost 3 months. I first heard the idea on a podcast. The idea is that when an artist releases their first album and it just sells like crazy – people fall in love with this “brand new idea…

  • The Value of a Bad Grade

    The Value of a Bad Grade

    I was reflecting on a particular paper that I wrote in high school.  I remember the topic and my grade, but this one paper really opened my mind to a whole new way of thinking. The topic is irrelevant.  The main idea is that my teacher that was grading the…

  • Emotion Words

    Emotion Words

    I am needing to learn more emotion words.  I don’t even know how to describe it.  I got the normal and natural words that we think of when I think about emotions.  Sometimes though, you feel an emotion and the normal, natural words just don’t do it justice.  If you’re…

  • Identity Caption 1

    Identity Caption 1

    I wanted to share some of the pictures that I take that need an identity caption. You don’t need to add a caption, but it is definitely appreciated. I have seen other blogs that do this – where they post pictures and ask for a caption. I figured – I’d…

  • Nothing to Say

    Nothing to Say

    Sometimes there is just nothing to say. Sometimes you just sit there and stare at the screen.  Nothing wrong with that.  When you have nothing to say – you have nothing to say.  There’s no point in trying to figure out what to say – when you have nothing to…

  • The 30 App Rule

    The 30 App Rule

    So I set up a new phone today.  It’s such a blessing to set up a new phone because it gives me an opportunity to start over.  There are 2 kinds of apps – life giving apps (the kind that make you life much simpler and helps you to live…

  • 10 Minutes is not Enough for this Assignment

    10 Minutes is not Enough for this Assignment

    This was said in my class today.  I wanted to give them more time for the assignment – like 30 minutes – but that wouldn’t have been enough time either. So why give the assignment then if it wasn’t going to get done – well, simply so that the assignment…

  • It’s Easy to Love Your Neighbor if You Live in the Right Neighborhood

    It’s Easy to Love Your Neighbor if You Live in the Right Neighborhood

    I heard that line and connected with it. There were some initial thoughts that came to mind when I first heard it. – No matter what neighborhood you live in, you’re still to love your neighbor. – That means I have to know my neighbor. – I need to also…

  • Rediscover the Ability to Stare at Clouds

    Rediscover the Ability to Stare at Clouds

    I heard this phrase during a talk.  I don’t even know what the talk was about now.  I just heard the line and just connected with the idea. There are some of you that have never stared a clouds ever.  This concept is just foreign to you.  Then there are…

  • The Negative Fan

    The Negative Fan

    I’ve written a few posts about being a fan and getting your identity as a fan.  You’ve seen these crazy people wearing jerseys and cheese heads.  Crazy – all out fans.  We’ve seen those. Have you ever known a Negative Fan?  It’s one of those fans that – no matter…
