About the Blog

In an internet-scape where it seems like everyone has a blog or a podcast, I have been contemplating why start a blog? What do I have to offer in a sea of blogs? Will anyone care about my thoughts or opinions?

I decided screw it, why the hell not! I've been searching for a creative outlet and realized that I don't really give a shit if anyone actually reads or cares about what I post. I came up with the idea to call this thing "So, Where Ya From?" because it's such a common question, but it doesn't always get the same answer in response. Yea, more than one person can say "I'm from New York" or "I'm from LA", but that's not the point. The point is, everyone needs that initial icebreaker. It's a question, a gateway, that helps people loosen up and just chat. As someone who has lived in three of the five AL East cities, has friends from all over, and who likes to travel, I have personally been asked where I'm from more times than I can count. My answer has changed over the years, since I have a longer-winded backstory than most, but I wouldn't be the person I am today without it. 

So, to those who have decided to give this blog a shot, thank you. I hope the content is as interesting and diverse as the answer to "So, Where Ya From?" ✌

No Phone Case, No Problem

I took my phone out of its case so I could clean the case and my god do I love a naked iPhone. I just don't want to put it back in the case. I know I probably should put it back in the case so I don't get a cracked screen... but then I remember I once dropped my case-less iPhone down a concrete flight of stairs (like the kind of massive concrete staircases in major sports arenas) and it was like nothing happened. Not a dam scratch on that thing! So for now at least, I'm gonna live on the edge! No case! Knowing full well that I will put the case back on the second I drop my phone on my nose because I don't have a good grip on it without using a popsocket.. and the popsocket is on my case... ✌

How Many Times Have you Watched One Tree Hill?

There’s a quote in the show One Tree Hill:   Tree Hill is a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it’s a lot like your world, maybe it’s nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone like you.   The full quote, from a Lucas Scott voiceover, is much longer, but that is the part that stood out to me. Tree Hill is a fictitious town on a television show, filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina. But, the characters resonate with the audience watching in many different ways. And, if the audience is like me, it resonates differently at the different stages of life we are experiencing when it is re-watched.   When I first watched One Tree Hill, when it premiered, I was in middle school. When the series finale aired, I was about to finish my sophomore year of college. I grew up with the show, but not really. After the characters graduated high school, the show does a time jump to their world after the four years of college. So, when I was in high school and college, th...

Job Search Problems - NON-COVID EDITION

Searching for a job during the pandemic has been rough to say the least. It's a constant sending of resumes into the void and slowly losing any shred of hope you may still be holding on to that you get a response. Not even a response for an interview but just a response. Even if it is a rejection, it's at least something - rather than just twiddling your thumbs and hoping that even though its been a month, two months, three months... that someone is just taking a long time with the hiring process, instead of simply not spending the time of day to ease the mind of an applicant. Yea the argument can me that time is money and taking even 30 seconds to send a form rejection email is time someone just doesn't have but I think that is a whole heaping load of bullshit.  Now not every company or firm falls in this category. Some do in fact send out a form email to say they went in a different direction or another candidate more accurately fit their needs. But those companies and fi...
