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

This woman is probably one of the most nice and devout Christians that… Read more

NeoGaf was… is a gaming forum. Yeah, so what, right? Well, this one was (is) kind of like the granddaddy of all gaming forums. It was pre-Reddit. Pre Twitter. Pre-just about everything. NeoGaf was place for people ‘in the know’ to seek harbor when there was no where else to go. It was a place… Read more

I don’t like this time of year. It’s the uneasy space between fall and winter. The first frost has come and gone. Some trees are barren while others linger. One bush has two yellow roses despite her sisters’ surrender. Everything is dead and dying. A season’s worth of growing effort is under our feet and we trample… Read more
