Well, it’s official. I’m flying back on March 18th. This trip will be a little longer than the first – 6 weeks instead of 4. I suppose this is a step in the right direction. Still, makes me nervous. The weather, while temped tossed, is changing for the better in Indiana. From where I am,… Read more

I know this isn’t going to be a very popular opinion, but let’s give this an objective thought. Violent video games and kids – this is like the blame game that’s as old as time. Everyone seems to forget that video games have ratings, just like the movies. Unlike movies, selling video games to those… Read more

It’s that time of month again. – The once every eight-ish weeks when one college term ends, there’s a two second breath of air, and the next term begins. The past two weeks, I’ve type so much that the gel on my fingertips have chipped off. Last week, it was the rough draft. Last night,… Read more

If I ever looked up from my laptop, blue jays, robins, assorted finches, and cardinals fought each other for position on the feeders. … Read more

A while ago, I wrote about NeoGaf, one of the original online game communities. Because of unforeseen circumstances…. that may or may not have been proven. I’ve long stopped caring, if I ever did care, the community that was carefully cultivated and nurtured easily slipped into a new home: ResetERA. In a way, it was… Read more

In my head, psychologists are shrinks. Grandmothers are battle axes. Bras are bolder holders. Childhood insight! I started to see a new shrink. No, I don’t mean that in a negative way as some people may assume, but it’s not meant to be that way. Think of shrink as someone who can shrink problems. To… Read more

— There’s a huge, huge, HUGE, difference between 24h and 48h deodorant. In Indiana, I was using Dove 48h. When I went to Florida, I started using Lady Speed Stick 24h protection. Yeah… after about half a day outside, I started smelling pretty ripe and it wasn’t even that hot outside. — A Starbucks mocha… Read more

Foxes are generally considered cunning animals. Think of the fox from Zootopia. Somewhere, under all that bravo, he had a good heart, but he usually acted on impulses of greed. Other animals where easy and unwitting prey. I suppose another soft-balled adaptation would be Disney’s Robin Hood. That fox was hunted, cunning, and fairly prideful.… Read more
