At 3am last night I finally felt like a writer. This is something that I never really appreciated before. Up until now, I had always just sort of written words on paper or typed them in to a word processor. Occasionally I would release them in to the world at random and without much thought.…
or, is nostalgia blocking me from doing cool things? I wanted to take a brief break from so-called serious writing to discuss something that, while is specific to Dungeons and Dragons, applies to life in general. Which is to say, my non-geek readers should stick around and enjoy the show anyway. A couple of weeks…
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.

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,…
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…
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a lift from an old biker looking dude in a 1981 Oldsmobile. Ok, it was a journey of a couple of kilometers and technically it started with, “you want a lift, I have a car and I am not drunk?” This is how I got my groceries…
