Accountability in Life

John Kuvinka — Sun, 29 Apr 2018 04:00:42 +0000

Is it just me, or does it seem like people’s sense of accountability is fleeting these days? This probably sounds like an odd topic, but it’s something I’ve been pondering. Accountability is one of those things your boss probably tells you about. There’s probably a motivational poster regarding it in your office somewhere too. I’m not just talking about accountability from a work standpoint, but […]

Click Bait Sucks. Click Here to Find out Why!

John Kuvinka — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 01:00:37 +0000

I don’t think I’m alone when I say I’m sick of this click bait nonsense. It’s hard to traverse the internets these days without finding click bait links everywhere. Whether it’s some opinion piece just trying to get likes or a local news story, it’s hard to avoid. “The World Is Coming to an End! Click Here to Find out When!” “These 10 Household Products Will […]

Viral America: Where Everything’s a Meme

John Kuvinka — Sun, 31 Jul 2016 14:05:22 +0000

Is it me, or has America as a whole gone viral? When something new and different reaches the public anymore there seem to be no moderate responses. These topics are met with total hatred or rabid obsession. Either way, social media erupts into a frenzy. Donald Trump and Pokémon GO are two examples that come to mind. Despite not being drooled over by the same groups of people, the […]

Industrial Evolution

John Kuvinka — Sun, 12 Jun 2016 14:00:28 +0000

I was driving recently and realized how industrial and gritty some suburban areas are looking nowadays. Being outside in the spring and summer months is always enjoyable, but with it being a prime season for construction of all sorts, the roads can be a pain if you’re driving. Not only are some streets torn apart and littered with dirty, orange cones, barrels, and signs, but […]

Politics: Why I Hate It

John Kuvinka — Fri, 27 May 2016 22:45:45 +0000

Politics is probably the primary topic that I write about, and if not it at least finds its way into most of my writing. I’ve been politically minded since I was in my early teenage years. Whether I was right or wrong about certain things at the time isn’t really the point. It’s important for people to philosophize about how the world should work. Politics involves […]

Dumb to Be Smart

John Kuvinka — Sun, 10 Apr 2016 14:00:16 +0000

Anymore doesn’t it seem like it’s almost dumb to be smart in the public’s eye? Intellectualism isn’t as revered as it once was and in the realms of entertainment and even politics it seems like it’s cool to be glib (and just flat-out dumb in some cases). So who’s to blame? What’s the scope of this overwhelmingly stupid public persona we’re developing as a nation? Shouldn’t we want […]

The “Party” Party

John Kuvinka — Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:00:08 +0000

So who’s been keeping up with the debates? Anyone? Each party has had its share of hubbub for one candidate or another, to say the least. It seems like election season starts earlier and earlier every year – almost like the holidays. The two times seem to have more in common than just that, I’d think. The planning, the promises, the avarice, and the disappointment. […]

Customer Service

John Kuvinka — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 07:20:21 +0000

I’m sure we’ve all worked a job in customer service or retail at some point during our ascensions to the top. Pretty much entry-level stuff suitable for someone on break from school, picking up extra money while in school, or retired but still wanting to keep busy. None of these positions, save for upper-management in retail companies, offer wages that can sustain a comfortable lifestyle […]
