Huh! I wonder... wouldn't it be funny and terribly ironic if "the devil" was actually the Bible's author? Hear me out for a moment. Religion is a complex and confusing topic for a great many people. Even scholars who study it never stop, which to me means they never fully understand. Religion preaches love and kindness, yet somehow constantly inspires hatred and cruelty. How like...

A strange situation, I'm in. I've played and enjoyed video games all my cognizant life. Each time I've quit them and sold off all my systems it has only been temporary, I've given in to the sheer mental boredom and gone back. I am an addict in every way. For some reason, the most recent break I took has hit home the underlying need that...

I was wondering when pneumonia would rear it's ugly head again. Now I know.

Just watched Inception for the first time. (I don't always have to see what's new right when it appears. ) Why were there so many debates whether he was dreaming or not at the end? Here's a basic fact: When a movie establishes a rule, it has to adhere to it or there's nothing worth debating as the movie's a random pile of crap. When...

As far as Lucas destroying his own works goes, 3D-ing Episode I is right up there. Why? Fish-man-who-must-not-be-named will now leapsa of the screensa. Also, they could add 12 dimensions and that lousy kid still wouldn't be able to act. I'm still waiting to hear about him dying in a fire. Karma is slow.

They say video games cause a loss of interest in the real world. I think perhaps they're right, but not for the right reasons. For me, at least, what I feel is more of what I'd call "immortal boredom". Let me explain. We theorize that eventually a person does everything they could ever want to do, given a long enough timeline. Granted, we don't really...

Oh Skyrim, how warm and inviting and enticing you are. You sit quietly in my drawer, neatly tucked away under my sleeping xbox, smiling and waiting to take me on untold adventures. Soon my new lover, soon. We shall speak the words of dragons and scream at the top of our lungs with our Voice! We shall craft and enchant and barter and steal and...

I leave for the Army tomorrow. That song, played on that guitar really conveys my feelings on the matter. Contemplative, melancholic, at times sorrowful, but accepting the needed changes. I am afraid of what is to come, but who the hell isn't? I will push through, and someday I'll be able to call myself a real Soldier. I will do my best to serve my...

Just over a week to go before basic. I suppose I should be nervous and whatnot but I'm really just excited. I've never done anything remotely like this, I'll be going farther from my hometown than I've ever been and I'll be meeting people I never would've come across otherwise. I think Bilbo said it best when he was all "Pipeweed good ale out your...

If I got to interview SuicideGirls:
Bob recently blogged about an interview she, Squeak and Ridley received at WonderCon, where I voiced my opinion that the interviewer was not up to par, so Bob asked me what questions I'd throw their way. For the sake of argument, I'll put it in the context of if I had been the interviewer at WonderCon.
First off, five...

Head is buzzed. One month and then who knows where I'll end up. I'm joining as a 92G, Food Services Specialist, so I won't be front line, but I do plan to help out as many soldiers as I can who will no doubt be having a harder time than me! I fully intend to cook them the best damn meals of their lives! They...
