It’s been 55 days since my last post here. I know because Facebook likes to tell me. Since I share posts from here to the Xadara facebook page, and rarely do anything else with that page, I have a nice, persistently annoying timer telling me how long it has been between posts. This is far […]
The average price of a new video game on the shelves of any given American store can vary between $40 to $70. The average non-gamer sees this as excessive, and even many who would consider themselves gamers find these prices to often be too high for the quality of the product in question. Of course, […]
Occasionally in my quest for software for my Wii, I will hit GameStop to see what might be lying around cheap. The Wii is a system at the end of its life, and while it was a popular game console, it seems that only a small selection of titles ever show available in the second […]
In a bit of news that I am absolutely amazed did not hit my radar, so to speak, it appears the 92 year old technology store chain RadioShack is down for the count. The situation, as it stands, seems to be as simple as loss of profit, up to the point of them filing bankruptcy. […]
A few days ago, I wrote my first article for this website in 2 months. 2 solid months of no activity here, on my website. The question someone would ask, of course, is why? What happened? Much of nothing would be a way to describe the past few months. A few things have changed in […]
So, another Midnight Musing that is being written at about 10 pm. I just love how inaccurate my titles are! Tonight, I wanted to talk about a trend I am noticing with friends and loved ones alike, and even myself at times. That is, are people working too hard? I don’t mean on personal pursuits […]
Okay, so it’s not really midnight. It’s 10 PM on a Wednesday, and I really should be asleep, but I felt like making a post because, it’s my site, and I can do what I want! I know I have written this same article before, but it’s worth going over again that I simply never […]
It’s been a month since my last post to Xadara. Over a month really. I’m normally not one to post much, but to have no new content in almost 5 weeks is odd, even for me. This article basically serves to at least freshen up the front page of my site, as well as to […]
I am always creating something. I am the kind of person who is thinking nonstop about new things to write, new photo opportunities, and all kinds of other random ideas and projects. The problem is, I never tend to publish the majority of what I come up with. I never like any of it, due […]
I don’t normally talk about my personal life on here, save for the occasional fact that would make for an interesting article. Otherwise, I keep mostly to myself, and only write about things I like, rather than things that happen to me. Sometimes, however, an experience warrants an article. Like, without warning, moving to a […]
It’s that time of year again here in Memphis. For 3 years running, Anime Blues Con has been providing the otaku of the mid-south something centrally located to have fun with. 3 days of near nonstop anime and geek culture to enjoy! Just like last year, I will be there to experience every moment I […]
No, seriously, why don’t you? Spring is in full force (at least, for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere) and when it’s not raining or storming, it’s the perfect weather to go outside and enjoy some fresh air, a cool breeze, and some good old sunlight! That’s what I did today, actually. Spending all […]
It was during the early morning hours of April 26th, 1986. The governing bodies within the Soviet Union wanted to conduct another test of the backup power systems of one of it’s nuclear power plants; Namely, the the V.I. Lenin Nuclear Power Station, located near the city of Chernobyl, in the northern Ukraine. It was […]
Every single day, we do a countless multitude of things. Some tiny, little tasks we forget about moments after completing them, while others can be life changing events. The question we all wonder at one point or another is, why do we do this? Honestly, think for a moment why you do most tasks. The […]
It’s a question virtually anyone who writes will ask themselves. Why do I do this? Why do I write? I never intended to be a blogger. I never thought anything of the idea, honestly. It seemed silly to sit there and write about random things. Honestly, who would read such? Who would care, right? Then, […]
