My Year of Gratitude - Day 1
January 1, 2015

There are many things to be grateful for. The day started out very well, with me playing music for my family who was at our house. Shortly after that, I gained my first friend of the new year.

Today, I am grateful for new starts, and the opportunity for new experiences. These new starts can come more often than yearly, if you let them. You get a new start every second, every minute, every hour, every day, week, and month.

Resolutions are made by about 40% of Americans. Unfortunately, only 8% successfully complete their resolutions. Those resolutions are often broken because they are personality changes. Trying a technical resolution may be more successful. (2) The technical resolution which I am going to complete this year is work towards being fluent in a different language. 

Please feel free to check back tomorrow for Day 2 of my #YOG.

Love,
Luc

BLOGS: Consumers of Information

With the situation that has evolved down at UW, I have seen, once again, how bias the media has been. The headlines read almost the same every time, "Liberal College Blogger Faked Rape Threat From Conservative Student." This poses a question for me, however, as a consumer of information. What evidence has been presented against this student that proves that she did it. We as consumers know absolutely nothing about what has been said or done. The media has basically convicted this student, although they are not stating what evidence has been provided against her. So, how do we know that she did or didn't do it. She hasn't gone to court. In the situation where you are being accused of a crime, you would appreciate to be presumed innocent until you are proven guilty. Why can't we give this person the same respect? I am not a liberal. I am far from it, but this is not a case of politics in my mind. This is a case of the media jumping on a story when there...

BLOG: My Friend's Relationships and 20 Signs Your Partner is Controlling

All too often, I have found myself as an outsider, looking into my friend's relationships. One of the most startling, disappointing trends I have noticed is the amount of women that are willing to settle for the sub-par men available in the world. The scum of the earth. The biggest trend is a guy who is so upset about his girlfriend having a male friend that he controls her. It is because of this trend, I wanted to bring you 20 Signs your Partner is Controlling. Toxic relationships can sneak up on almost anyone. And controlling behavior on the part of a partner knows no boundaries—people of any age, gender, sexual orientation or socioeconomic status can be in controlling relationships, playing either role. Many of us visualize a controlling partner as one who openly berates everyone in their path, is physically aggressive, or constantly makes overt threats or ultimatums. We picture the grumpy bully who belittles every server he or she encounters, or commands their partner how to...

Letter for Commission on Presidential Debates RE: Third Party Debates

Commission on Presidential Debates                                                          November 25, 2017 1200 New Hampshire Avenue NW, Suite 445 Washington DC 20036 Dear Board of Directors, As you are undoubtedly aware, in September 2014, Level the Playing Field filed an administrative complaint with the Federal Election Commission against the Commission on Presidential Debates (“CPD”) and its directors.
