I’ve realized why I rarely take the time to post here anymore.
It’s because I feel an underlying pressure to only use this blog for epic essays, exploratory studies or pondering TL;DR monstrosities.
Given that my current reader-base seems to appreciate this, I’m planning on making another blog purely for inane, nonsenical ramblings that aren’t related to anything [...]
I probably know what you’re thinking. “Why do I care about your grandpa? I’m sure he was great, but this can hardly make for an interesting topic for me to spend time reading.”
Well, I beg to differ. My grandpa was legitimately awesome. And I’m not saying that to brag, or due to some misplaced familial [...]
I know at least someone is going to give me grief for my not-so-correct use of ‘cynical’. But I thought the title was catchy, and appropriately reaction-inducing (cheap tactic, I know). So, my apologies. :-P
I’ve been keeping up with two TV shows that I’ve previously enjoyed, “Dexter” and “The Walking Dead”. Now, if you know [...]
A decade is a long time.
I have a vague recollection of the events of my teenage years. Maybe a few scattered images, a sensation, an emotion. If it was particularly poignant, I might even remember entire scenes, as if my memories are a made-for-TV Lifetime movie. However, for this particular day, I remember everything.
I’d gone [...]
If you’re going to tl;dr this, or aren’t interested in my personal posts… skip to the end now. :-P
I usually follow a pretty strict rule when it comes to sharing content on the internet. I try to post information that’s useful, funny, enlightening, thought-provoking or intuitive. I tend to stay away from confessions, or personal [...]
When I was first inspired to write this essay, it began with “There is a lack of appreciation for the writer’s craft”. However, now that I think about that, that’s incorrect. Rather, there’s a lack of understanding of the writer’s craft. Non-writers can’t empathize with a lot of the thought processes which are involved in [...]
Random excerpts from “Shadowgates”. This is pre-editing – I don’t have access to my edited copy right now. So… this is “First Draft” material. Try to ignore the grammar errors and awkward dialogue.

The room was enveloped in a blanket of silence, darkness clouding the space in obscurity. There was a vagueness to it all, as [...]
Fair warning – this essay is filled with some very charged, controversial opinions, so please, please don’t be offended!! It was not my intent to offend anyone’s religions, political or other affiliations. This is simply an exploratory essay on a topic I felt like writing about today. My arguments are flawed, and my conclusions are [...]
Everyone remembers their first brush with death.
For mine, the memories are crystal clear, almost as if the entire event was color-saturated and outlined in thick acrylic paint. I remember the colors, sights, sounds and emotions as if they were yesterday.
My fingers were splayed out over cool glass, my breath lightly fogging the smooth surface. Merely [...]
So, for this next week, I’m going on a total social, internet and online gaming blackout.
I know what you’re thinking – this has been done. Hundreds, if not thousands of times. However, this is more for personal reasons than as a demonstrative action. ;)
What’s NOT Allowed
