So as is clear from my social media presence, I am deeply interested in politics, including running for political office. I am currently registered to vote as Unaffiliated/Nonpartisan/Independent, instead of as a member of a political party. This is not  because I am a moderate, nor a centrist, it is because I view political parties, in the least the ones in the United States as corrupt. Both major political parties accept dark money, corporate money, and don't really care about representing the will of the people. Further my beliefs tend to be outside of the establishment of each of the parties. I am a Social and Economic Leftist, and Fiscal Moderate which makes me not really work in the established parties who are Liberal and Conservative respectively. I have also struggled to find a minor/third party which I felt comfortable affiliating with. And of course there comes the issue of the logistics of being a political candidate. It isn't very likely to win an election, necessar...

Condolences to the Windsor family of the United Kingdom, following the death of their matriarch Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, better known as Queen Elizabeth the 2nd. Beloved around the world Elizabeth will be missed by many, the world knew her as the ever living embodiment of the Windsor family. Her son, Charles is now the inheritor of the vast lands, wealth, and jewels Elizabeth owned. Charles is a far more controversial figure, and will likely lead to movements to strip the Windsor family of their special status that has no real place in the modern world. The Windsors were made wealthy through the greed of their ancestors, slavery, and colonialism.  With Charles taking the title of King, we will likely see a drastic reduction in the scope of the monarchy, if not the complete abolition of the special status. Scotland is ruled by a nationalist party seeking to become independent from the nation, without Elizabeth acting as Head of State it only makes it more likely for them to leave. ...

So on Friday, I had an assignment in which I had to write a paper on teamwork, particularly in business settings, and how this one person said the three elements of an effective teammate were Humility, Hunger for Success, and Smarts as defined as emotional intelligence. And while that has already been written and submitted I was thinking back to last semester in my business simulation class. In that class we worked in teams to manage a business, one of the teams shared work but with one clearly defined leader, one team worked together without a leader and lacking an understanding of the simulation’s data, one team had a leader tasked with most of the work due to inactive team members, and my team selected me as CEO and we worked together on most decisions while trusting each other to make necessary decisions regarding particular aspects of the business which they managed to become skilled in over the course of the class. Clearly I don’t have as many details on the other teams, but that...

  Hair - Self Expression and General Thoughts So I recently got my haircut, by an amazing woman named Kellie who run a small business known as Hair by Kellie . It is way shorter than I had it previously, and what I thought I would want to end up with. That said, I like the cut I have and it is easier to take better care of my scalp and hair overall. But why would I make a blog post about hair if that's all I had to say? Well hair through my childhood was something I considered an afterthought, and I just got it cut however my parents decided to tell the person cutting it, even once old enough to express an opinion I didn't hold any. However, in the past few years, particularly after I cut my own hair and then when I started to wear it much longer then before I began to fall in love with my hair, viewing it as deeply connected to my self-expression. This was an interesting develop as my mom did struggle a lot during her battle with cancer about her self-expression feeling taken ...

So why am I even creating this? Well it's because I have recently been struggling with the fact that my social media presence is basically completely based around my political views. Don't get me wrong, I do think a lot about politics and deeply enjoy being involved in politics overall. Politics has been something I have grown more and more passionate about, and I do intend to run for political office (again) someday. However, I am more than just politics, which many people find boring or controversial, despite my own personal enjoyment. I am interested in business, having been studying business management in university since 2019, getting my degree this upcoming spring. I also care about gaming, and occasionally dip into fandoms of youtubers or shows of certain types. This blog will be an outlet for those topics, alongside politics, to take the place of social media posts. I regularly give long explanations, and struggle to with social media word limits. Too Long 4 Change, is ...
