Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Hello world!

    Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing!

  • Hope deferred

    After a season opening loss to Fresno State, I\’m no longer wishing for a perfect season for the Boilermakers.

  • Blocked

    Agonizing over what to write when you usually when I decide to write it it just flows. Have to convince myself to sit … and let the words flow.

  • Stanky!

    Sometimes people do have abrasive personalities. And sometimes they just need you to show a little kindness so that we can all see what they have to bring to the table.

  • Not my forte … and probably shouldn’t be yours

    Small talk? Never have really excelled at it. I would rather have sips of bourbon or a good IPA and go deep in a conversation while learning something new and being challenged.

  • Fairfield Inn (New Albany, OH) for the Win

    What a pleasant surprise: to be able to fully charge my electrical vehicle for free. Almost missed the level 2 charger because … well … they look a little janky.

  • The good with the bad

    Sometimes, the news you get isn’t all that good. Sometimes, you have to find the good in that bad news.

  • Faster

    Sometimes, you have to go faster by slowing down. While I know this, I’m still learning how to incorporate this into my daily life.

  • Texting, Schmexting

    Sometimes, in the age of texting, you need to get up off your ass and walk down to your friend’s house just to let them know you’re thinking about them.

  • Beer run

    Not shy about it at all. I’m a beer drinker; primarily of IPAs. But, doing a beer run on my electric bike is cathartic.

Got any book recommendations?
