We're Back!

How many actually remember this movie?
I haven't blogged in almost two years minus a movie review I did for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie last year (thank you Alamo Drafthouse). The reason for this was due to a new Army policy against posting political opinions on social media. Retrospectively, this may have been a good thing because I imagine most of my blog posts may have been very politically driven just judging from my tweets and Facebook posts. Since I am getting out of the military and due to other events in my life, I have decided to revive my blog mostly as an outlet and recording of my more prominent thoughts. Fortunately, I have been learning how to "hack" (ethically mind you), and by searching through the Google cache, I have recovered most of the blogs that I had deleted in the interim.

Restoring my blog posts mostly involved a lot of cutting and pasting, and it was admittedly fun reading through a lot of them. Some I was surprised I deleted, but I probably deleted everything that didn't have the word 'review' in the title and of course my blogs about the filibuster. It's interesting seeing how many of my views have changed in such a short time and how many views stayed the same.

I doubt I will post any more movie reviews simply because I won't have the ability to see movies early anymore. That was a benefit in the Army and with the Alamo Drafthouse. I'll still post mini reviews on my twitter using the same movie score logic I use in this blog.

I am planning on posting at least monthly although I have a few posts that I have been working on while reviving my blog. Fortunately, I have been reading and researching more than just politics, so that may be a relief to many (especially to myself). I mostly really want to blog about my findings as a means of organizing my thoughts. I have learned so much more on a lot of topics that I have been passionate about and even blogged about particularly Atlantis and anachronistic artifacts. I have also been exposed to so many podcasts that have increased my thinking on topics that I've either forgotten about or didn't necessarily find particularly interesting. Many of the philosophers that I blogged about previously apparently all have podcasts which I still am listening too. My mind is racing on a myriad of information.
My blog won't be as dark as the latest season of Rick and Morty nor will it involve that Mulan McNugget sauce.
