I think many in the gaming community have played the award winning “Portal.” I managed to get my hands on it, and enjoyed its dark comedy and ending credits song on so many levels that I can’t describe it all. For me, Portal is a very philosophical game that raises many questions about A.I., life, and post apocalyptic scenarios about the earth getting taken over by aliens (Half-Life).

One of my favorite instances in the game is when I meet up with the Weighted Companion Cube. This wonderful and existential buddy of mine accompanied me for all of one level of the game, but that was enough to leave an impact and life lessons were forever imparted to me. Or maybe I’m looking for something that’s not there? Nonsense! There is wisdom in everything, even the Weighted Companion Cube.

This article is about those life lessons. Even a supposedly non-sentient futuristic crate can show us things- if we are looking for them.

I am here to help just about anyone and everyone. Thanks for helping me fulfill that part of my human existence each and every day.

I’ve got some exciting articles- some practical & not so practical- that I think you will enjoy. Keep checking back.

Free as in free, period.

A man can be beaten, broken, imprisoned, tortured, mentally anguished, and any other number of things that man can do to his fellow man to cause him pain. But if they cannot pull his head out from the clouds, if they cannot cull his dreams and bring them back down to earth- then they cannot keep him from being free.

Why something rather than nothing?

This is an age old philosophical question. Since this is filed under “Random Musings,” I really don’t plan on answering it. I simply want to throw it out there for people to ponder. Why is there something rather than nothing?

Some argue that this is a clear case for a creator. But if one substitutes random particles approaching a singularity with a God, then one must ask, “Why God rather than nothing?”

There is a certain feeling in the air.

(In this article I hope to define what this movement is, what they stand for, and what has caused them to come to this point. If you feel like you are apart of this group, please contact me. I wish to get into conversation with like-minded individuals. This is a hard task, forgive my inability to articulate something so profound.)

It could just be me, but I am sensing something different. Something so subtle that if I try to look right at it, I miss it. I can’t accurately define it in a word or feeling, or even a picture. Instead, it’s found in the art, passion, activism, and human spirit that I see throughout the world as a whole. Not everyone seems to be on this boat, but a lot (mostly from the younger crowd) are on board- even if they don’t know it.

They are a group of people who are tired of both being held back, and holding others back. They fight for social change and freedom of everyone around them. They don’t wish to conform to normal standards. They don’t try to. They simply want to be free. Are you one of them?

• I’ve got an amazing wife who does a lot for me.
• I’ve got awesome, crazy, zany, funny friends who mean a lot to me.
• My College both educates me, and funds most of my living expenses.
• My business startup is running smoothly. (I’m sure I’ll write about that eventually!)
• Life is…just awesome!

Be thankful for even the most every-day things today. It will turn the gloomiest day into a bright one. I know somebody needed this.
