Why a Blog?

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 going to be the new archive of my thoughts and experiences in life.

I look forward to posting on here, but also understand that I likely won't be very consistent. This blog isn't for content creation, or online attention purposes, if someone else reads this that is wonderful, but the point of this is simply to link to on social media with my full thoughts; while also providing a fresh start to prevent politics from being the sole topic ever discussed. I do have plans and ideas for posts.

If somehow you found this without visiting my social media, go follow me @Lopez4Change on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, or other social media. Have a great week!✌

Press Release: WV Lobbying needs Reform and Accountability

Press Release For Immediate Release WV Lobbying needs Reform and Accountability Recently the media has been reporting on a story regarding a man who was simultaneously working for the WV State Auditor, and served as President of a lobbying firm. This, of course, is incredibly dubious and unethical, but it took people pointing out that the situation may have been illegal for this individual to leave his position being paid $25/hour of taxpayer money. Due to loopholes in the laws of West Virginia, it is not clear whether this individual did actually violate state law, though I stand firm in saying that investigations into several potential violations should occur. Regardless of the legality of the actions taken by the State Auditor and his employee/campaign contributor, West Virginia must close any of the potential loopholes in the lobbying laws of West Virginia. If you are a lobbyist, I have little sympathy for you. I will listen to everyday people, and the grassroots organizations that...

My Political Future (Running in 2024?)

Image
So since I was a teenager I have been vocal about my plans to run for political office. I originally had planned to run for WV House of Delegates in 2020 when I would have been 19 years old. However, a bout of depression & anxiety made it to where I failed to work toward this goal and had planned to give up on my political career (despite remaining passionate). I would come out of this depression in early 2019 & take the advice of my high school Physics teacher (R.I.P.) to run for a municipal office prior to running for the legislature. As such 2019 became the year that I graduated high school with honors, started university, got my driver’s license, my mom battled cancer, & I ran for Oak Hill City Council, Ward 2. Due to how busy that year was & my anxiety/inability to campaign I did poorly. Since that point I have build my personal brand around my political ambitions, & regularly comment on current political events. And I  recently approached some friends of m...

Humble, Hungry, & Smart - Business Teamwork

Image
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...
