As I started my morning skimming the AP feed, my heart sank as I was confronted with the headlines of what had transpired in the early-morning hours in Orlando.

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock for the past month let me catch you up. Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens released in December, and it was awesome. For 33 years of my life I avoided the Star Wars franchise. I had not seen a single Star Wars movie in its…
A few days ago I booked a flight to nowhere. So it wasn’t exactly a flight to nowhere, rather a flight to Pensacola, but the flight seemingly serves no purpose. From the time I land until the time I depart I will be in Pensacola a grand total of 43 minutes. As a traveller who spends…
