Late Night Rant #2 – Divine Downloads
I’m not sure what to write today, so I’m just going to rant for a little while. One thing I’d like to talk about is my health, a usual on this blog. One of the most frustrating parts of my life nowadays has been my inability to stay fully disciplined on the weekends. Frustrating is…

The Half-Ass Prince: How I Became a Massage Therapist
Nearly 10 months ago, I willingly embarked on a journey to become a massage therapist. It’s beyond cliché to admit that everything has changed since then, but honestly that’s the truth. It’s strange to think back on my physical and mental state back then. I’ve grown so much as a man, and in general learned…

Framing Success – What Makes the Perfect Me?
Basically as the title says. I’m on a path of growth, and self-discipline is an integral part of that process. This means that I need to set a plan and create a framework to ensure I’m taking the right steps to meet those goals. This is sort of a road map of who I want…

No More Mr. Wayyyyy Too Nice Guy
So let’s get serious here. I’ve gone my whole life avoiding conflict, avoiding real challenge and really anything that might help me grow into a successful human being. I aim to please people, I always do what I’m asked and try to do no wrong. I live my life trying to avoid making anyone angry,…

The Subtle Art of Giving A Little Bit of a Fuck
Over the past few weeks I’ve been on a self-help binge. This includes learning new things on improving mental health, improving my morning routine, having better fitness and getting in better workouts, eating better, etc. While all of these have benefits in their own right, the challenge that’s proved both the most difficult and the…

Young Love – A PunPun Series Reflection
It’s been a few months since I finished my second read of Punpun, and I have to say there are still so many parts that linger with me. One of the most prominent is the portrayal and impact of young love. Specifically the connection Punpun found with Aiko, then with Sachi, and how all of…
