January 3rd, 2023 I wanted to write this down really quick. I am becoming increasingly interested in anthropology and am thinking about taking a course in anthropology at Wake Tech Community College. This may start in February. In the meantime, I am wacthing a series of lectures on Wondrium about anthropology and something the lecturer …
January 3rd, 2023 I’ve been doing some reflecting and life planning and have some tentative stakes in the ground. To start this discussion though, I had written the following sometime early in Deember: “I am really not enjoying life right now and I don’t know what the root cause is. I feel like I’m wasting …
September 28th, 2021 I finished reading The Gospel of Luke and I wanted to write a review about it. First off, it read similarly to the gospels of Matthew and Mark and because of that, I found that I wasn’t really able to pay attention to some of the specifics in this gospel. It was …

September 11th, 2021 I finished reading the gospel of Mark and I wanted to write a review about it. For starters, I was much more receptive to the Gospel of Mark than I was to the Gospel of Matthew. I don’t think I can pinpoint why this was the case as there are multiple potential …

September 8th, 2021 I finished reading the Gospel of Matthew and I wanted to do a review of the book. For starters, the Gospel of Matthew definitely doesn’t read like Matthew wrote it nor does it suggest that it is his eyewitness testimony (or anyones eyewitness testimony for that matter). There is no autograph saying …

August 22nd, 2021 I finished reading A Short History of Greek Philosophy by John Marshall recently and overall, I didn’t like it very much. Apparently, it was published in 1891 (I didn’t know this while I was reading it), which might explain why I wasn’t a fan of the work. The language that was used …

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 …

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 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 …
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 …
