New News
Oh… the News. I think one of the reasons why Weekends are so rejuvenating for me is that I don’t watch the news or read the news at all. That’s what makes the weekends so restful. Immediately L...

On Fandoms and other Ramblings
Wow. It didn’t take long for fandom as a thing to be turned into a weapon. This isn’t new and it isn’t news but the fact that it is becoming more and more THE STORY of fandom is a tragedy. I ...

Book Description
Life is not what I had hoped it would be at this point. Growing up, I always thought I would have a house, a wife, a dog, and at least one child by the time I was 34. Well, I turn 34 in 5 months and I can’t even get the house part right. Looking into the Future of Me… all I want in this world is that House and Beginning to Work Towards Adulthood. That is what I want. But working where I am as of January 2018? I don’t see a good path forward. Hopefully, something changes. Hopefully, I can make something happen or something happens for me. Until then, I just have to keep working through the maze… hope I find a little cheese now and then.
