Legends of Gaming

1988 found me in Omaha, Nebraska. I was finally moving under my own power again. The heel-cord surgery, from the autumn before, had healed. It was the first and only time I went to my friend’s apartment he shared with his mother. That was a seismic event for seven-year-old me. My parents lived together and were happy. His were divorced, […]

Guess Who’s Back

So here we are again, another blog entry after a long break. A two year break, ARGHH. A lot has happened in that time. I fubared a computer, banged-up my body, and other not-so-fun hijinks. In between all that, I’ve been working, gaming, and well you know, the usual. I spent most of 2022 in a depressive slump. Parting ways […]

Faking it

So, it’s time for an update. A fast blog entry to remind not only all of you I’m still around, but coach myself out of the isolating, imposter syndrome fueled funk I’ve been stewing in. So fun stuff! So. Much. Fun! If there has been one thing, I have struggled with the most over the past four years, it is […]

Bad News and Looking Forward

On Wednesday, April 6th, I received some bad news. My current publisher has opted not to continue its publication of the Goddess’ Respite, and naturally, not pick up the sequel, the Witch’s Cradle. What this means for everyone is, the current edition of the Goddess’ Respite will go out of print at the end of next month, and there will […]

Objects and Rearview Mirrors

I don’t talk about my dad’s death often. Some years, the memories are vague after thoughts. Then there are times like this one. My mind locks onto the time of year. It transforms into an obsessive fixation. The myopic tunnel I fall into triggers my anxiety, and I trap myself in an endless cycle of what-could-have-been?’s and missed moments. It […]

New Year’s Demands 2022

The holidays have come and gone. I spent the majority of December 2021 playing Endwalker. Not something I particularly regret, as long as I don’t look at my sales. Bearing that tragedy in mind, I decided to write up a list of New Year’s demands. Sure, this will read as New Year’s resolutions, but for me it will be a […]

I Paused My Game to Write This

It’s been a while since I blogged. Too long. This time it wasn’t out of fear, but simple frustrated laziness. I wrote out several would be and could be entries over the past few months. You can see how far they got. A reoccurring theme it seems revolves around my gaming habits. (Hint: Gaming relentlessly is a part of that […]

Rebuilding

What a week! Whatever I did to my leg last year has healed enough, allowing me to drive again. Of course, now I can be behind the wheel once more, the garage door motor breaks. The door doesn’t approve of manual opening and closing. It wants to stay on the upper side of the tracks once it’s lifted. Yay. -_-. […]

I have a blog and I don’t know how to use it!

I don’t know how others do it. Sure, I can write and bullshit with the best of them. However, trying to write a brief What Have I Been Doing? is painful. Luckily, the title for this entry came to me before I wrote a word of it. Titles are easy. Thinking of real-life stuff to write about and more importantly […]

And So It Goes on Raging?

I don’t know what I will name this. Two titles float in my head, Rage On or And So It Goes. Both are song titles, Dan Seals and Billy Joel respectively. The Dan Seals single talks of people’s life struggles. Billy Joel laments his willingness to have his heart broken for a few scant moments of love. These play out […]
