Dave of Reckoning: June 2015
http://insertdavepunhere.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 7, 2015. The Importance of History. And it's not really their fault, either. This fall I'll be starting graduate school at San Diego State University, going for an MA in History with the goal of becoming a community college professor. It'll be a tough road- and I don't just mean my schooling. There's a good chance. I'll be hired as an adjunct professor, and if so, a 25% chance I'll be on public assistance. Considering how little adjuncts are paid. It'll be tough, but it will be worth it.

Flying Knees, Politricks, Cheerful Existentialism: June 2014

Flying Knees, Politricks, Cheerful Existentialism. Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Hey there, world! David here, but you probably already figured that part out. As you've also probably figured out, I haven't posted here for a while. School, activism, work, defeating the fire nation, learning the true. Meaning of friendship- I had been quite busy at UC Irvine and it got in the way of consistently updating. Now, I have been finished with UC Irvine for about two months. Since then, things have changed. I.

Dave of Reckoning: Nerd Culture, Artistic Merit, and Criticism
http://insertdavepunhere.blogspot.com/2015/05/nerd-culture-artistic-merit-and.html
Thursday, May 14, 2015. Nerd Culture, Artistic Merit, and Criticism. I am a proud nerd. I play video games, read graphic novels and manga, and a few weeks ago I went to Wonder Con to be surrounded by my people. If there is someone out there who thinks they could ever beat me in a pointless trivia contest about the nerdy shit I like, especially Final Fantasy games, they've got another thing coming. A picture of me at Wonder Con, my natural habitat. A lot of us collectively lose. Our. Shit. Aside from hord...

Saturday, July 11, 2015. Sonny Liston and the Tragedy of Formerly Incarcerated People. Few people know the name Sonny Liston. Is that. a spokesperson for mouthwash products? A mascot for a generic Sunny-Delight ripoff juice brand? A loveable character in a sitcom from the 70's? Few people know his name, yet he is in one of the most iconic photographs of the 20th Century. In fact, the picture may be the. Most iconic sports pictures of the 20th Century. Yeah, that's the one. Coming in 1950 for armed robber...

Flying Knees, Politricks, Cheerful Existentialism. Thursday, September 6, 2012. Glorious Return Part 2: "Nice" Guys. I’m just going to get this disclaimer out of the way: being an actual nice person is dope and you should always strive to be one. Tell the person at the register they are doing a great job, give someone a jump if their car battery ran out, compliment a stranger’s hair in the middle of an orgy- it’s the little things that can really make a person’s day. See how easy that was? The underlying...

Flying Knees, Politricks, Cheerful Existentialism. Monday, August 13, 2012. Glorious Return Part 1. Hello there readers, as you may have noticed I haven’t posted for a while. I apologize, but I just haven’t found anything that I desperately needed to say. If I kept speaking without anything to say, I’d be just as bad as recent episodes of Family Guy. No one wants that. But recently, a friend of mine linked me to an article called 10 Unbelievable Real Life Products. These products would not go unpunished.

Dave of Reckoning: April 2015
http://insertdavepunhere.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 19, 2015. The Traditional Martial Arts Renaissance in MMA. Machida does with his Karate what every 8 year old training Karate at the YMCA day dreams about. So why hadn't we seen more of these styles- and moves associated with them- pop up in the ring until the last five or so years? Was it because they were inherently inferior? Was it because they were "too deadly" for the ring? Was it because Shaolin practitioners spent their time kicking ass at soccer. Playing games of catch and never act...

Flying Knees, Politricks, Cheerful Existentialism: Equal Opportunity Offenders
http://punchline-everytime.blogspot.com/2012/02/equal-opportunity-offenders.html
Flying Knees, Politricks, Cheerful Existentialism. Sunday, February 12, 2012. As a result, I’ve spent most of my time not doing work for classes being so unproductive that my fertility doctor recommended I avoid smoking and hot tubs. Because those were the only things I was doing with my time (as well as hanging out with friends like David Zafra, who has his own blog here. About film and philosophy, and Nick Mellot, who has his own blog here. There really are a lot of good topics I could address. 8220; T...

Dave of Reckoning: Analyzing Poignant Moments in Videogames

Saturday, June 21, 2014. Analyzing Poignant Moments in Videogames. When it comes to games that were able to elicit genuine emotion from me, three stand out in particular. 3 The Walking Dead. I was one of those people who felt over saturated with zombies in popular culture by the time the TV series The Walking Dead. Recently, I decided to check out the video game. The one that everyone said was good, that is, as there is one based on the TV series. All the characters who join your group. To care about the...

Sunday, August 30, 2015. Why The Way We Think About Bias is Wrong. Often, when we think about bias, we think about a person or group explicitly making their opinion known and using slanted rhetoric that clearly favors their position. Everyone knows that Fox News is biased towards the Republican Party and MSNBC is biased towards the Democratic Party, after all. Instead, they should put their opinions aside and let the facts speak for themselves! United States), The BBC. Great Britain), Al Jazeera. Each of...
