The Trip

April 27, 2026June 9, 2026 Nate Ellingson
The playlist opens with Tears for Fears singing "Welcome to your life, there's no turning back" and closes with Springsteen asking "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true, or is it something worse?" I didn't plan those bookends. They just happened. But I think somewhere in my subconscious I wanted it that way — a playlist that begins with life's possibilities and ends with its hardest questions.
Music

Timeless Moods

May 30, 2026June 17, 2026 Nate Ellingson2 Comments on Timeless Moods

It started with three songs and a feeling I couldn’t quite name. Hours later, Timeless Moods was born — 45 songs, three and a half hours, and a playlist that somehow wrote its own story.

Simple Life

Paying The Mob

May 21, 2026June 17, 2026 Nate Ellingson

They stormed the Capitol. They beat police officers. They got pardons. Now they want $1.8 billion too. This isn’t justice — it’s a reward program for insurrection, and we should all be furious.

Beyond Viral

May 18, 2026June 9, 2026 Nate Ellingson

Mr. Rogers testified before the Senate in 1969 and won — not because he was loud, but because he was real. In 2026, the camera doesn’t reward sincerity anymore. It rewards spectacle. And that has cost us something.

🧭 Your Journey Host

Nathan Ellingson

Nathan Ellingson

Welcome! Here you will find my personal reflections of life, photos for my book, and fun and inspirational videos. I am a US Air Force veteran, writer, musician, web developer, aspiring photographer, and father of three living in rural Wisconsin. I find philosophy in night walks with my dog and meaning in the world around me one photograph at a time. When I am not writing or taking photos you will find me diving into Marvel, Doctor Who, or whatever music is currently keeping me sane. MyAnthologyOfThoughts is my collection of images and reflections on life, humanity, and the journey home. I'm happy you are here, enjoy!

Fuel the Journey

If my writing, photography, or videos have brought you something worthwhile, feel free to buy me a cup of tea. It means more than you know.
