Thoughts about the Museum and Library of Confederate History in Greenville, SC

August 17th, 2021 I recently visited the Museum and Library of Confederate History located in Greenville, SC and I had a few thoughts about the experience. First, it was quite strange and surreal to visit. I’ve seen people online that support “confederacy” (for lack of a better word) and I’ve even seen confederate flags waving …

Review of The History of The Peloponnesian War by Thucydides

History, Philosophy, Politics, Religion / By admin

August 11th, 2021 I finished reading The History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides recently and I wanted to do a review. First off, it was pretty tough to get through. When I started, I was making some decent progress, but then that progress started to decline around Chapters 3 & 4 and it was …

February 22, 2021 I wanted to take a few minutes to write about the current energy crisis that is plaguing Texas. Being a mechanical engineer who has knowledge of the energy industry, I figured I share some thoughts. From what I understand, the reason that they are having issues at the moment is that the …

Review of the Odyssey

History, Literature, Religion / By admin

February 20th, 2021 I just finished reading The Odyssey by Homer and wanted to share my thoughts. It’s honestly different than how I imagined it to be. The main thing that I know about the Odyssey is the cyclops, the sirens, Scylla and Charybdis, and Circe, however, these episodes constitute only a small portion of …

Review of The Iliad

History, Literature, Religion / By admin

January 26th, 2020 I just finished reading The Iliad by Homer. I’ve already done an overview of the story in a previous post discussing Greek Myths and Legends so I won’t do too much summarizing here. One thing that stuck out to me was that the story featured the perspectives of both sides of the …

Thoughts on the 2021 Storming of the U.S. Capitol Building

Politics / By admin

January 9th, 2020 I am still in shock about the fact that a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol Building at the behest of Trump himself. The first thing that I thought was that this was exactly why I voted against Donald Trump. Essentially, he has courted the support of what I consider to be …

Thoughts on Exercise and Diet

Health & Wellness / By admin

December 30th, 2020 I’ve been thinking about exercise and diet as it’s something I’d like to get under control. I am certainly not fit, and the whole COVID situation has kept me from being active, but I would like to change that. My main goal would be that I’d like to lose weight and look …

Thoughts about attraction

Relationships / By admin

December 30th, 2020 I’ve been thinking about attraction, sexuality, and relationships and I think I’ve come up with a good way to break down a few things. I don’t know if this is universal, but it makes sense to me. For me, there are three types of sexuality/sexual attraction/normal attraction (I’m not quite sure specifically): …

History, Philosophy, Religion / By admin

November 19th, 2020 I just finished reading Part 2 of Classical Myth by Barry Powell and wanted to summarize what I’ve read. First I wanted to address what I was thinking about a little while ago. I’ve been using the language that I’m reviewing books, but I think I’m not always doing that. I think …
