The life of a geologist is anything but easy. It is full of danger, excitement, and travel! Maurice and Katia dodged a bullet many many times, but they risked their lives until the end and had their lives taken by mother nature. When mother nature is ready to pop a zit, she will. The two geologists gave science a lot of data and…

I have lived alone for over 3 years, but was I ever really alone? Maybe I like to think I am alone, when in fact we are all surrounded by people.

Taking up space is a better term for living alone. Everyone needs a little bit of space to themselves. Living with others means sharing something. Liking something is completely different though. In some cases we have to organize and come together in…

If we could go back into history, would we be able to find out who held the first pseudonym? Making a false name is easy, but documenting who made the name is the tricky part.

Telling a story about rogues, I have to add the disclaimer that rogues simply do not exist. Every brother or sister in the class of rogues will at one point get to write their very own pseudonym. Learning the name of a…

The Perception of a Small Fry

Imagine a fish the size of your palm, a barbed hook speared through its jaw just before being cast back into an ocean with gentle waves bumping into a boat that could hold a great white shark. Magically the fish is able to survive with a new lip piercing, but the life of the fish has changed from that of free will to a destiny of catching a bigger fish.

Tom on the deck of the boat checks the line…

The Life of a Businessman

Not everyone gets the ability, or privilege to have unlimited access to some of the coolest toys in the country. Some kids got unlimited sandwiches, some kids got free concert tickets. Growing up in a party store, I had everything a kid could ever want. When the business owners buy 100 of something, 1 of them always went to the brat that got to test it until it broke. This also meant I got free…

I remember a day when my level of responsibility was judged by taking care of a watermelon over the weekend. My watermelon was large, full of seeds, and weighed far too much to just carry around all day.

Thinking back to that weekend, I enjoyed eating the watermelon on the first day. Everyone knows I love watermelon. Like every other watermelon, this one was probably more tasty because I was…

We didn’t always have movies. We didn’t always have books. Movies are still growing and evolving right alongside the rest of the entertainment industry. Some movies are adapted from books, but not all of them. We actually have a large collection of movies that were inspired by video games, disasters, fear, and fun.

Some of my favorite movies are movies that no one around me has ever seen. I guess…

It is super annoying but you can figure out what I wrote. Censorship is all around us, and for some people it should be.

We have banned books, banned words, banned colors, banned websites, banned celebrities(some of them deserve it though). Some of the things I have read should be considered banned, but I read them when I was a…
