Hello World!
Good evening everyone! As a long time fan of April Fool’s Day, and in honor of Rooster Teeth, I thought I’d celebrate by taking my site live on April 1st. When I was a kid, I used to write stories and fantasize that the world around me was filled with hidden wonders. At some point,…

Childhood Dreams
Did you want to be an astronaut as a kid? I think I liked the idea, but didn’t have the same passion for it as most other kids did. I remember wanting to be an explorer or a dinosaur digger like Indiana Jones or Dr. Alan Grant. I remember wanting to be an inventor so…

Hobbies and Dreams
What’s an old hobby you loved as a kid? I wouldn’t necessarily enjoy being outside, but man did I love to create stories. My aunt on my dad’s side, Sharon, was only 3 years older than me and 2 years younger than my brother. The three of us would root through my Grandmother’s basement, grab…

Dreams as a Gateway
Have you ever had a dream that stuck with you? Over the years, I’ve had multiple dreams that I barely remembered when I woke up, but I found it much easier to recall if I wrote it down. Even years later, I’ve found random post-it notes with a brief description of something random, then, suddenly,…

X-Files: The Reboot
The X-Files is coming back in the form of a reboot, and I couldn’t be more excited. I grew up on Duchovny’s dry wit and Scully’s remarkable talent for finding a reasonable explanation for the most absurd scenarios. I’ve even got a few of the X-Files novels written to continue their story. I have one…

Technical Issues and Reading Goals
My sincere apologies; I’ve been having trouble with the auto-posts and accessing the site. I think most of these issues have worked themselves out, but some of my planned posts may no longer be relevant. I’ll post the new one I’d intended to post at the start of this month, adjusted for the now. With…

Adjusting Plans to Meet Goals
We are approaching the month of September. I took a couple of extra days off for Labor Day in hopes that I could travel to Canada. However, I recently paid more than $700 when my A/C crapped out on me just this last month. Plus, I’ve paid an uncomfortable amount of money for some Continuing…

Investing in Success has a Price
Have you ever invested cash in a hobby or project because you hoped you’d be compelled to justify the cost, only to abandon the hobby before ever getting started? This has happened to me a few times. In fact, I’d previously bought a drawing pad that needs to connect to the laptop via Bluetooth, but…

Starting Over
I’ve started a drawing class to get myself into the mindset of a webcomic artist. seriously. I actually do want to explore a new hobby, and drawing has become one of those hobbies that I’m curious about starting. This is a relatively new interest, mind you: I used to be impressed with the dedication and…

Dance to the Revolution
I miss Dance Dance Revolution. I don’t know why: I have most of the PS2 games in my collection and two fully-functioning DDR pads. Probably because no one wants to play with me. Something to do with us getting older and not being able to move as well as we used to. Meh. I think…

Time and Energy
When I was younger, I often played video games to 100% completion. It became an obsession: the more complex the game, the more fun it was to find every hidden nook and collect every major item. Nowadays, even when I want to complete a game 100%, I lose patience for it. Only a handful of…
The Absentminded Novelist
Writing a new book one distraction at a time.
