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 […]

Everyone talks about how 8 hours of sleep are essential every night. Obviously the body needs time to rest and regenerate. But what about those times when you get 8 hours and still feel exhausted in the morning? Sure, energy levels can vary for all sorts of reasons. Someone’s diet and physical activity affect their overall alertness and wellbeing. But it’s not natural to force yourself […]

Despite the fact that people really don’t like them personally, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the presidential nominees. Whether you like it or not, one of them is going to win.

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 […]

Europe vs. America – Policy and Persona

John Kuvinka — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 21:58:47 +0000

The left does more often, but many suggest looking to Europe for inspiration regarding some big issues these days. Concerns like healthcare, education, the corrections process – they’re all looked at differently in Europe. Most of the time the right just calls it all socialism or communism. I’m not looking to get into a huge breakdown of every aspect of those isms. Nor do I plan on […]

Changing Political Parties – Why Now?

John Kuvinka — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 10:00:28 +0000

It seems like a lot of people are changing their political affiliations lately. Either they’re changing their party to vote in a different primary, or they’re just calling themselves something different. Either way, it leaves us questioning. What’s the cause for so much change? I’ve personally known people who have been liberal for many years yet now support Trump. On the other hand, people have been […]

Law Enforcement: What’s Next?

John Kuvinka — Fri, 01 Jul 2016 17:00:01 +0000

We’ve all heard the increasing stories about the over-zealous use of violence by law enforcement recently. It seems that every month or so a new story pops up in which the police are being scrutinized or accused of brutality. As people become more frustrated with the law and society the number of protests and demonstrations increases. There is always a heavy police presence at these sorts of events […]

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 […]

Aesthetics and Progress

John Kuvinka — Sun, 01 May 2016 10:00:18 +0000

Think about how happy you are when you’re on vacation. You’re in some tropical paradise where the water is clean and blue, the sun is bright, the breeze is warm, and you’re surrounded by nature. Then think about going to work in some smoggy city with billboards and posters everywhere and loud music and shouting piercing your eardrums. It’s depressing to be in an environment […]
