January 3rd, 2023 It took me a while to put this together and I didn’t really have time to consider in detail why I was for or against certain candidates. I voted for almost all democrats, except for the NC Senate and House which I voted Libertarian (for whatever reason, I don’t quite remember) and …
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 …

October 5th, 2020 I wanted to take the time to document who I was voting for and why I’m voting for them in the 2020 Elections. This will be my first time voting in any election and I figured I’d list who I’m voting for so I can remember and see who actually gets elected …
September 21st, 2020 I wanted to write a post about where I stand at the moment on various 2020 U.S., NC, and Wake County election races. I’m slowly deciding who I want to vote for this year. I’m still thinking about voting for Joe Biden, but I was undecided about the NC Senate race. I …
August 8th, 2020 I finished reading 1 Chronicles last night and am currently reading through Before Philosophy: The Intellectual Adventure of Ancient Man by Henri Frankfort. It’s basically about the formation of a proto-philosophy in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia and is fairly difficult to get through so far. I finished the three Egyptian chapters and …

August 5th, 2020 Currently, I am reading through the prefaces and introductions for the various books I’ve received to get an idea of the order in which I should read them. As I believe I’ve stated before I want to finish the Bible before reading some other works since the majority of other literary works …
