World Is A Fuck
In light of recent events, I take a moment to reflect on the paradox that the world is safer than ever, but is still completely fucked up.
Rediscovering My Voice
As confidence returns, I left myself write freely, for once, about my writing and how life has affected it the past few years.
Finally Gaming Again
Me? Actually enjoying games for fun? It’s more likely than you think!

Another birthday has some; Time to reflect on things after a wild year of life.
A Happy 20th Birthday To Dance Dance Revolution Extreme
Time to take a look back at possibly the best Step Rhythm game of all time, and a trip back into a time when such games were my life.
Happy New Year. I’m Sick. Go Figure.
It’s only fitting I would kick of 2022 by being sick. Let’s hope it’s nothing too serious…
Solstice
A look at some of my thoughts on the state of my hobbies, projects, and online presence this past year, as well as things going forward into 2022.
How That Day Felt
Today is September 11th, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It was an event which still affects me mentally in some ways, even with my passive experiencing of it and 20 years having passed. As I mentioned in the article yesterday it was a world-changing moment for everyone. That particular day, […]
Don’t Call Me Negative When You Ignore Things Like This
Yesterday was May 4th. Star Wars day to many. While I consider myself certainly a fan of the franchise, I honestly find May 4th a bit annoying. The date doesn’t actually have anything to do with Star Wars or George Lucas — it’s not the latters’ birthday or the release date of any film in […]
What’s Coming For March 2021 On Xadara

This one goes out to anyone and everyone who, like me, has seasonal allergies in any form and right now is being treated like some kind of ultimate evil for sneezing, coughing, or even just having a sore throat and mentioning it during the COVID-19 crisis. It’s bad enough every Spring and Summer feeling like […]
Just When You Think It Can’t Get Any More Crazy, It Does – Pandemic Log 4/22/2020
It’s been just shy of a month since my local area finally began pushing for the closure of non-essential businesses and taking the situation seriously. I’m still working and, in an interesting twist, business is quite high right now — the demand for game console repairs and, of course, games to go along with said […]
How I Rediscovered My Love Of Making Music
Back in late August I was spending some time with a friend who was in town on business. He and I are both very much into the hunt for treasure that is antique and thrift store shopping, and on this particular day we stopped at one of my regular antique store haunts; one I’ve picked […]
