Pay It No Mind

June 9, 2026July 13, 2026 Nate EllingsonLeave a Comment on Pay It No Mind

In 1969, being gay was illegal. Stonewall was inevitable. One night in Greenwich Village changed everything — and understanding why Pride Month exists requires sitting with the history most people never take the time to learn.

American Jesus

June 6, 2026June 18, 2026 Nate EllingsonLeave a Comment on American Jesus

Greg Graffin wrote American Jesus in 1993. Thirty years later it sounds less like a punk rock critique and more like a documentary. He wasn’t wrong. He was just early.

Veteran for Pride

June 4, 2026June 25, 2026 Nate Ellingson2 Comments on Veteran for Pride

I’m white, straight, and a veteran — exactly the kind of person you might not expect to write a defense of Pride Month. Maybe that’s exactly why I should.

Gone Away

June 2, 2026June 9, 2026 Nate Ellingson

I thought I already knew this song. The original. The Five Finger Death Punch cover. Then I stumbled across the piano version — and nothing could have prepared me for what I heard.

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.

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.

🧭 Your Journey Host

Nathan Ellingson

Nathan Ellingson

Welcome! Here you will find my personal reflections on 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’m not writing or taking photos, you’ll find me diving into Marvel, Doctor Who, Star Trek or flipping through my vinyl collection for whatever record is keeping me sane. MyAnthologyOfThoughts is my collection of images and reflections on life, humanity, and the journey home. Pull up a chair, drop the needle, and enjoy. I’m happy you’re here!

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.
