I am knee deep in to the whole National Novel Writing Month thing, and haven’t got a lot of time to write new posts on the blog. Normally that means a rerun, but instead I have something newish for you. I began writing an auto biographical story some time ago, but got cold feet. I…
In which I discuss The Trump, for the one and only time I care to give that… man, any time. A few trigger warnings for people. I am going to be discussing religion, Santa Claus, lies, Lies and LIES. Also, there are absolutely no joke links in this post. All links are to sources and…
For anyone paying attention to these sorts of things, you will note that I have published this in both the Fiction and Non-Fiction categories. I have done this because I am going to be relating an event that actually happened in my daily life; however, I am going to try writing it from the perspective…
and also writing about it on a public platform. Or, what in the great googlie mooglies was I thinking. I should probably start by doing the obligatory where has that dragon guy been. The simple answer is nowhere. I have been simply and perfectly hiding. It is an easy thing to do I suppose, when…
So, this is essentially a part two of what I started here with a fiction piece. This is what happened from my perspective. This is the story of the worst night of my life and a trauma that I can’t shake. While the language will be cleaner than the last piece, the content is no…

Or, how the curveball is hard to throw. I sat down to write today and nothing came out of my fingers, or my brain for that matter. In fact, that was not the first time I wrote that sentence. Like everyone who has come before me and everyone who shall replace me in this world,…
or, how algorithms just don’t get me, and in fact, may be insulting my intellegence and taste in movies. I was recently catching up on one of my favourite podcasts, The Film Vault. While this podcast may be an acquired taste for some due to the caricatures the hosts put on of themselves, it is nonetheless…
Before I start, I am going to talk about the murder of children. There are probably not going to be any jokes and the links will all be serious ones. Also, I am afraid that if I edit this post I will edit out things in fear. I am taking a stand, misspellings and poor…
Recently, I have been struggling at my day job. Nothing out of the ordinary mind you, just the usual bureaucracy, lack of appreciation and power struggles. I imagine everyone can relate no matter what field you are in from McJob to Presidential adviser. On the other hand, I have noticed my productivity when it comes…
