It’s coming down to the wire for the holiday season, and one thing that is invariably going to happen, and has already been happening day in, day in, the past few months is items being out of stock in stores. This is just how it works, and, amazingly, some people just don’t seem to grasp […]
John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth, died today. Just a few minutes ago I received the call from my mom letting me know this. At the time, I had just fired up a game, wanting to relax a little before work. I noticed she called as I loaded the game up, and […]
This article crossed my radar the other day, and as someone who lives in Memphis, I always find these amusing, at best, at how just plain wrong they are, with regards to me and my life, about opinions on this city. In this case, as the title suggests, it’s things you have to explain to […]
It’s been a hell of a couple of days. As I always mention on these posts, my “normal” job is retail work, specializing in a retail sector that includes gaming and electronics, among other things, and as you probably know, this past Friday was the most horrible day of the year for retail workers: Black […]
In XadaraCast Episode 3, Prince Watercress and I discussed phone scammers, namely, IRS scammers. At a point in the podcast, I made comment about how they behave, and wondered how it was people were stupid enough to fall for them. Without context, though, this almost could seem like I’m insulting people, and I wanted to […]
[UPDATE – THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN ABANDONED. THIS IS A LEGACY POST] XadaraCast Episode 3 is out now. In this episode we cover quite a few subjects, from the NES Classic release, various subjects regarding twitter, and at the end, a hilarious case of someone renting a movie from redbox for it to be porn! […]
In case you’ve been living under a rock, it’s about to be the single worst day of the year in the retail world, a phenomina known as “Black Friday”, an after Thanksgiving day (in the US, anyway) mega-sale that virtually all stores have in the hopes of gaining as much business as possible. This holdover […]
I might as well start making these update posts a common thing, especially for the next few months as things get more and more crazy by the day. Let’s go over the past week and a half or so, shall we? Between the awesome experience of going to a friends wedding, and many many awesome […]
As I start typing this, it is 1:50AM, central time, here in the United States, and Donald Trump has just been elected as the 45th President of the United States of America. The second half of this post will be written upon waking up, but I want to express myself on this. This will, as […]
In case you have been living under a rock, there is an election tomorrow, and ya know what? It sucks. The candidates are terrible. The entire process getting us to this stage has been horrible. I don’t get political here on Xadara, and I’m not about to go into details – it’s too late for […]
What some call the “most wonderful time of the year”, retail workers call absolute hell – the Holiday Season. That’s right, it’s Christmas music and massive sales the moment Halloween ends, with all the extended hours and chaos to back it up, and it sucks. Hardcore. Now, let’s start off by saying I actually love […]
Ah, been a while since I really sat down and typed up what’s on my mind in regards to this site, future projects, and what have you. It’s also 3AM and I really should be heading to bed, but of course, I can’t. GO ME right? Anyway, let’s get down to business. I’m happy with […]
Right now it’s almost 3AM on October 25th, and I’m beginning this mini-article, which will be retroactively dated to the 24th, just to keep up with the perfect month of at least one-a-day posts I’ve been doing October. WordPress is great like that, you can just fudge things if need be. Today has been quite […]
Social media, by design, is an outlet for people to express themselves, and share their opinions. Anyone with any active social media presence will inevitably see someone, somewhere “complaining” about something, and if you are the average person, it probably annoys you. Hold that thought, for a moment. Them sharing their opinion annoys you, does […]
Hello awesome readers! Today I had a few articles planned, but I got delayed by a wonderful little project today, that being a computer from 2002 that I picked up for all of 10 dollars, and it works fine. Well, it works fine from a machine standpoint. However, the machine, as it was, needed work. […]
