As much as I am always complaining about my job and the soulsucking activities contained therein I am in no hurry to leave the company where I am working because the prison of my job allows me the freedom in my life. I know that what I do is worthless. I know that I achieve [...]
Politics Politicians should have to wear stickers or buttons denoting their largest campaign contributors. I would prefer to have lobbying completely abolished, but I am not naive enough to think that would ever happen. Having a politician covered in logos as if he were a NASCAR driver would at least help people cut through the bullshit far [...]
When I first moved to Sydney I could not tell the difference between a English accent and an Australian accent. Since then I have become a bit better at telling them apart and it has mostly to do with the way an “o” is pronounced when it is at the end of a word. They [...]

First question: Is the US in a worse place, in general, than it was 30 years ago? This is really an impossibility to determine. It is such a macro question and there are so many different factors that weigh on the answer that it is difficult to come to an educated answer. In light of that I am [...]
I have been in Sydney now for the past 4 months and it has been glorious… absolutely glorious. I could not have pictured a better transition for myself. My job has been going well, I have been meeting a ton of cool people and I have found Sydney to be a clean, friendly, beautiful city [...]
First things first, Ultraparadoxical.com has turned a year old! I will spare you the “best of” post and instead treat you to the randomness that is my brain (lucky you).
