I discuss why stories have always been the foundation of human belief, why that continues, what the modern stories we tell ourselves are, and why true agnostics are the on the correct path. In my opinion. Read along for current discussions of sad-but-real-life!
My friends have had some bad days recently, and I am no exception. Even as I continue my adventures around the world. This one is not chronological to the story of my travels, but I believe it is important to share now. Cheers you lovely humans.
A summary of some Chinese adventures including how I pushed myself too hard and found myself desperately sick in Xian, cutting short some of my China plans. But so many blessings. So many adventures. Very grateful to the world and to you readers and special shout out to Lomig for the save and fun!
Some thoughts from EDC Japan and Tokyo. Just an amazing experience to have in another country. It made me think about the sort of person I want to be, in relation to myself, to others, and towards Gods.
Happy Birthday to me! It’s been a crazy hell of a year, and I take a little time to reflect, and mostly to look forward. Overall, I will say 26 was an exceptional year. But perhaps looking onward from 27 is a little more scary; even as I’m still in the midst of a fantastic adventure.

I'm an arrogant SOB, and that's never more clear then when I make-up bets with faceless, nameless Gods, all in the effort to give me some edge. Here, I'm exploring my tendency to use God as a means to reap rewards, and discuss what I think it means to pray, to shout, to live in the shadow of Omnicisent
I poise the idea that sports are a sort of low stakes religion. Though we worship in different ways, it's great to collectively care so much about something trivial as a game. And at a time when we're so divided over harsh realities and uncompromisingly difficult decisions, it's nice to have something else we can fight about that doesn't have the weight of the future
