Blissful Ignorance

      Hello Everyone welcome back to some more Blissful Ignorance. Today I want to talk about healthy food and fast food, and how the direction of  the food industry it having an impact on what we eat. In society today the most common excuse for people to not eat healthy is that it is an expensive lifestyle most people cannot afford.  The cost of healthy eating  is an article about the cost of healthy eating, as well as the cost of fast food. To paraphrase unhealthy choices tend to be $1.50 cheaper per day than healthy food. Not only is it cheaper but it is also more convenient for people, which is what tends to be the driving force in peoples decision making. Unhealthy food also tastes very good (not always the case) and satisfy peoples salty, and sugary cravings. In reality you are set up to fail against a system like this where healthy food is more expensive then fast food.      However, there is hope so do not feel as though all is l...

       Hello everyone welcome back to another rant with yours truly! Today I would like to talk about an extraordinary type of music call synthwave. Synthwave is an electronic music microgenre that is based predominantly on the music associated with action, science-fiction, and horror film soundtracks of the 1980s. This genre of music was introduced to me from my dad, and a few friends back when I was in high-school. Even to this day this genre still thrives hidden beneath the new top hits of today, but the beauty really lies within how the music can reach out to you. I know I am not alone in the fact that music has the ability to touch the soul in ways nothing else can. Its almost like I really feel the music echoing through me, breaking through my defenses, and I wont lie it gets me emotional sometimes whether its sad, happy, or though provoking. I want to focus on one song in particular that has really tickled my fancy as of late by an artist who goes by the ...

           I had the pleasure of watching a documentary called "Fresh" which focused on agriculture within the united states. The documentary uses multiple perspectives from the different farmers suppling food to their local communities, as well as the challenges they faced with corporations, pesticides, etc. In all honesty I have never really thought about the food I eat and where it comes from. It is crazy to think that something we do so often in our lives, and is so essential to our survival becomes an after thought due to how easily available everything is to us. This film really poked at my emotions of frustration, anger, sadness, and joy from different environments whether it was the chicken coops packed to the brim with chickens, to the harmony that can be found in nature between livestock and crops. It takes you on an emotional joyride while showing you the reality of how we get our food.           Honestly, this ...

      Hello everyone, welcome to another rant from yours truly. This time I want to talk about a game series That has been with me the entirety of my life, and is something I continually come back to over and over again. If you could not tell from the picture above I am talking about the world renown Mass Effect trilogy. The Mass Effect trilogy much like Assassins Creed is something I hold near and dear to my heart; The Mass Effect trilogy has been a huge staple in my life and has been my personal gate way into being the hero I want to be. It is not often we are faced with opportunities to be heroic, or to be the hero's of our own story, but Mass effect takes on an emotional roller coaster where you're faced with making difficult decisions.      Lets start from the beginning. Mass Effect takes place in humanities future in the year 2183. The first game follows a main character named Commander Shepard (You); You get to shape the backstory of Commander S...

 reference material here . Hell everyone, this time around I want to talk about an Allstate commercial that exemplifies how subtlety can go a long way, and is specifically meant to resonate with its target audience. With that being said lets get started! Allstates commercial "Beauty Blogger | Allstate Mayhem" is a 23 second long ad that is a different take on advertising home insurance to people.  Firstly, as the ad starts you are presented with a bedroom filled with a variety of pink and purple blankets, sheets, and pillows. You can also see a jewelry box and some makeup on a desk, with the main focus point being on a gentleman with a black suit, white undershirt, and a dark grey tie using a sky blue curling iron on his hair. The first line presented is "I am a beauty blogger, and this mermaid hair how-to is gonna get me a ton of likes" symbolizing that the main character is fixated on their social media presence, and cares a large amount on others approval. Within...

 Hello everyone, welcome to another blog from Blissful Ignorance. Today I want to talk about something personal to me, but more importantly how I deal with it. In the United States alone 7.1%, 23,394,500 people have experienced a case of depression. Depression is very common throughout our world today with society leading the charge as we are always overworking ourselves, and pushing our limits. There are a multitude of reasons people get depressed but most commonly people just get burnt out, tired of doing the same things over and over, tired of struggling to pay their bills, and tired of being tired. I am by no means an expert but I feel as though I can shed some light onto how devastating depression is on you mentally and physically.     To start I myself have been clinically diagnosed with severe depression, and I require medication to help keep myself from staying in bed all day. Life was extremely difficult for a time as I  had no motivation to do anything...
