Well, I can't claim to be the most experienced in different psychoactive drugs. However, I can tell you that I do mushrooms 2-3 times a year and each time I come out of the experience (taking the good and bad into account), and generally feel better…

Well what does black history month celebrate? revolutionary people in the struggle for civil rights and a fair place in society. I would imagine that a white history month (which you bring up in the original post) would need to cover similar struggl…

I'm not going to touch on the use of the N-word because so many people react differently, and it's just something I choose not to use, and I therefore stay out of conflict about it. Rather I will comment on your idea of celebrating White History. I…

On Societal Norms and Self-Endangerment

On Societal Norms and Self-Endangerment
By Charlie Shields

Every day we are faced with decisions of etiquette. We exist in a society where cultural manners and niceties affect how we as individuals are perceived by our fellow human beings. Through the years, etiquette becomes a social norm, not just affecting perception, but actually controlling behavior. In other words, if a norm is so widely practiced and its status as a norm is widely known, we will engage in activity in acquiescence with th… Continue

Punched in the face

Yesterday I was walking through a now familiar part of Milwaukee, mentioned in my last blog post, a park on North ave where the road curves like the letter S. This time, however, I was sober and it was still light out.

I was walking along the curved sidewalk, on my way to a discussion on social justice and class structure within a capitalist society. I looked up to see some youths on bicycles riding on the sidewalk towards me. As they passed, I made eye contact with the one closest to me, a boy… Continue

I found myself alone and walking home from the Riverwest neighborhood of Milwaukee. I decided to take North Avenue with the goal of getting to Holton Street. Once I got… Continue

baseball & basil

The other day a professor of mine asked us all to think about something we believed in very strongly, but later found out was indeed false. Many people brought up learning that Santa Claus wasn't real, but I thought of a much different experience.

When I was rather young, no older than 4, I met a friend of my grandfather's named Basil. I misunderstood and thought that his name was Baseball, and being a four-year-old, thought that that was pretty fucking rad. After we got home, my mother tried e… Continue

Hi! Thanks for the comment.
Sorry...I used to play to the first one. Jedi Knight 2 is like a amazing rare game. Impossible to find it in a store or anywhere.
