Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Unfinished Business

    You ever watch Ted Talks? There is this one guy I cannot get out of my mind.  His name is Tim Urban, and he held a Ted Talk that was entitled “Inside the Mind of a Procrastinator”. I identify with being a procrastinator so my curiosity was peeked. What can he possibly tell me about…

  • The Roaming Heart

    I was around 15 years old. I had bought this yellow blouse with black roses swirled at different angles. “Hmm very elegant”, I thought, “Yet casual enough to be worn with skinny leg jeans.” I felt like a Queen in it. I was surely the bomb.com. And get this, this blouse was so beautiful to…

  • To Be Fully Known

    To Be Fully Known

    Have you ever looked someone in the eyes and… shuttered? Almost as if they were looking into your soul? Goodness, if you haven’t, let me tell you – What a naked and vulnerable feeling. The common immediate response is to look away. Drop the eye contact. Hide yourself again. Justify the disconnection you just made…

  • Red Lights With You..

    Poem dedicated to underlying fears of rejection Impatience is my best attribute in situations like this Lazer stares at slow drivers I’m disconnected from the feeling of the steering wheel underneath my fingers Or the sound of the muffled engine Matching the pace of my tapping index appendage Back straight to not miss the changing…

    Hey Christ. Bye Passion.

    2 years ago. If you would have put me in an empty room with a boombox, I swear I could have danced for hours. When I heard music, I saw movement instantly. Figures would began moving in my head. I could tell you if it was a solo, duet, group choreo; it was high key …

  • Escape Plan?….. Check !

    “Located on your left and right are EXIT signs illuminated in case of an emergency. When it is time to exit, please do swiftly and promptly.” Not sure about you guys, but escape plans are comforting to me. To know I can escape when danger is imminent, near, approaching. Nothing is better for my over…

  • ANYTHING. but sex.

    Raise your hand if you’re from the South. Raise your hand if you grew up going to church more than once a week. Raise your hand if the main concept  you held onto was to avoid hell at all costs. Here we go. The awkward stuff. Haha. But trust me. It won’t get too deep.…

  • The Irony

    I have heard some really great stories, read some awesome books, watched some amazing movies. But the plot would not be as engaging without a key ingredient. Irony. Good ole irony. And as entertaining as it is to see this term unfold in stories disconnected from us, it doesn’t always have the same amusing effect…

    So Do You Date Big Girls Orrrr

    Disclaimers: This post is not to bash any male or female for their own personal preference in dating.

Also, if you are someone who says, “dating is of the devil, we COURT around these parts”. Listen,…
