  • These Protests Don’t Make A Lot of Sense For Me

    Not the cause by the methods by which they are doing them. I’ve been keeping up with the protests for the BLM (and others such as Belarus) and keep thinking that the protestors’ methodology are completely wrong.

  • Harvey Weinstein/Hollywood Thoughts

    The hot topic in Hollywood is the aftermath of Harvey Weinstein getting removed from his own company as a result of sexual harassment charges covering over a decade (maybe even more). From this incident, much more of Hollywood’s dirty laundry has slowly been uncovered where other stars, directors, producers, etc. connected with Weinstein are either…

  • Health: Little By Little

    Since starting on my smoothie journey, I have to admit to becoming 100% addicted to it. Right now, I need to have a smoothie every day. I try to make one in the morning or at least after lunch. That provides a fair amount of energy and I can drink it throughout the day. Usually,…

  • Giving Healthier Lifestyle Blogging A Try

    My attempt at a slightly healthier lifestyle. Babysteps A photo posted by Keith Watanabe (@keithyw1975) on May 10, 2016 at 8:57pm PDT The last few days I’ve slowly been doing small things to have a healthier lifestyle. It’s no secret that I’m someone who has trouble maintaining himself when it comes to staying on course…

  • Trying to Find Balance in My Life

    As an engineer living in a city with fairly bad public transportation and an ever increasing expense situation, I find it difficult to maintain myself as years pass. These days there’s little to no protection for employees in truth and the economy has become unstable. So if you get a project that causes you to…

  • The Truman Show: A Conversation with A Higher Being

    I didn’t know about The Truman Show for years but discovered it this past year after watching a few conspiracy videos on the Illuminati (yes, I find the subject matter fascinating but I don’t take everything at face value thankfully). What drew me to The Truman Show though was the idea of questioning our own…

  • World of Warcraft: Mist of Pandaria’s Philosophy, Reflections on Postmodern Society and My Own Life

    “Slow down” and “enjoy life” is the constant message you’ll hear from the Pandaren folk in World of Warcraft. The oddball conspiracy theorists (including that personality quirk inside of my head) might be quick to point out that this is some Illuminati/government/elistists tactic to pacify the gaming masses. Or is it a reflection upon how…

  • Why We Need to Move to Micro Thinking Rather Than Macro

    Something hit me the other day when a friend of mine sent me an article about the way Japan’s economic situation in reality is better than people feel. The article in question was more of an economics one and uses numbers to paint a rosy picture. However, the article itself is flawed in its approach…

  • Marriage and Why I Haven’t Gone Through It

    I’m going to turn 38 this coming week and yet I have no one special in my life as a partner. Some people will tell me that I need to find someone soon or that I face the consequence of being single the rest of my life. Others have told me that when I’m ready,…

  • Conspiracies, Illuminati and Bullshit

    I have a fascination with conspiracy theories as it relates to fictional ideas for good storytelling. I have a huge problem though with conspiracy theories when it comes to facts and what the authors of many documentaries want on their agenda. Today, I wanted to share my thoughts on that aspect as it relates to…
