Continue reading →: A Civilian Addresses the USMCToday is November 10, 2015. The 240th birthday of the United States Marine Corps. And I have something to get off of my chest. Once, a long time ago, I disliked the United States Marine Corps. I mean, I really didn’t like Marines at all. My disdain had nothing…

Continue reading →: Your Own UniverseNow and then, I have a bit of problem falling asleep. My mind just keeps racing around, creating fantastic scenarios which usually involve dragons, The Edmonton Oilers, clones, clones of the Edmonton Oilers, the musical theme to Buckaroo Banzai: Across the 8th Dimension, or Salma Hayek and Zoe Saldana…

Continue reading →: Quitting MonopolyYeah, so…three months. It’s been three months since I’ve updated this blog. Yeah. A lot has transpired since. I mean, it’s been a crazy summer, huh? Plenty of stuff happened. Most of it good. Some of it terrible. But that’s life, eh? The ‘middle’ seems boring, and safe. But that’s where we…

Continue reading →: The Doors of Ice and FireOkay, hear me out. I’m throwing this blog together without giving it much thought, because, well…I just have to make sure I’m not completely crazy. Or, you know…more crazy than I already believe myself to be. I was listening to some tunes recently. In particular, a bunch of songs on…

Motia didn’t wear specs as a general rule, but she was sporting these sporty little numbers with sleek, black frames and yellow-tinted lenses. “Glare, stupid.” She spat. Her head didn’t turn my way in the slightest. She kept staring out the glassless…

Continue reading →: Trying New ThingsYou’ll notice some changes to the ol’ site, and you’ll probably notice more going forward. For starters, a new theme and a new layout. This theme (one of WordPress’s many free layouts) is sort of a throwback to the original blog design, but with some stylistic nods to my most…

Continue reading →: How Not to Lose Your LegWhat follows is a sort of journal, a record of the strange little adventure I’ve been going through of late. See, I had a wee procedure to fix an old problem, and it’s become…well, it’s been a bit of an odyssey. Please enjoy (although I’d warn those with weaker constitutions…

Continue reading →: When Bad Guys Were P*ssies.Maybe it was 9/11, you know? Like, maybe the horror and shock of that day forced us to ‘grow up’ for better or worse. We got tougher, a bit more wary and jaded. I don’t know. Maybe it was something else; Western Culture catching up a tiny bit with our European brethren, psychologically…

Continue reading →: Saying Goodbye With a Crappy MovieYou can’t go home again. It’s a tired expression, but damn it if Netflix doesn’t bring it into relevance with alarming regularity. Case in point: Something sad but hopeful happened a few weeks back. The world lost the great Leonard Nimoy. He was many things, a poet, director, artist, singer…

Continue reading →: The Unified Space Epic Theory
What if, true believers, what if? What if instead of the lackluster Alien sequels that we were saddled with (beginning with Alien3) we got a more Starship Troopers-style invasion pic? Just imagine a full-on war, here on Earth: Colonial Marines in grand, pitched, shoot-em-up battles with hordes of xenomophs. It…
