: About Me

Hello world, I've always wanted to say that, even if the world never hears me, at least I got to say it. I have been writing for several years, and try to be direct and honest in my efforts in that regard. I have slowly been transitioning from one medium to the next in an attempt to share the wealth so to speak. In a society where common sense is seemingly becoming less common, at least in terms of the majority, I assume I bring something unique and of some kind of value to any given environment.

I am a no nonsense kind of guy, and I don't have a tendency to mix words. I tell it like I see it, even if it shatters the concept of illusory comfort zones, mine or those of others. I embrace truth, justice, and freedom of speech as though my life depends on it, and I know for a fact that my sanity does.

My life has been an adventure, and the perspective I have gained by way of being unconventionally educated, has been, and will likely continue to be invaluable. If the world consists mostly of round holes, I am the proverbial square peg. I don't need to fit, I don't even want to fit, I know a place exists for me, and for that reason alone, conforming isn't an option, nor do I feel it's necessary.

I rely on common sense, which transcends the limitations of logic and reason by allowing me to also consider the abstract. If I'm choosing a side, I never use personal biases as justification. In my world, the consequences of the truth are far more acceptable than the benefits of deceit. Mutual respect, consideration for others, and implied value attributed to all of creation are just some of my methods of operation. I know that I can only assume the right to be me if I am willing to offer the same consideration to others.

Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing Stress and the importance of sleep

1 of 3

There is no way of determining how much sleep is needed for people in a general sense. A commonly accepted amount between six and eight hours is often suggested; though it varies a great deal depending on the person in question. However, it is abundantly clear that an inadequacy in regard to sleep, and the subsequent effects of a sleep deficit, can be very debilitating, even if the actual amount needed varies greatly. Impaired mental awareness, slowed physical reactions, and a diminished capacity for tolerance for co-workers, and family members,are just a few examples as to how a person ca...
