Prude, Pragmatist, or Pervert?
I’m having a real dilemma after today’s lunch adventure in my new work neighborhood. I feel like I might be a prude of the worst order. But, then, maybe not. What happened today could simply prove that I am a pervert who doesn’t know how to deal with reality. Maybe...
Why Transgender Dudes Aren’t Going to Rape Our Wimmins
This picture/meme came over my Facebook feed today. I’ve seen several like it recently. I don’t know if I’ve just had the right amount of beer tonight or what, but I saw that and couldn’t not say something. And before I do, I’d like to point out that I am and have...
Alien Outcomes – February 2016 update – Book 6 of the Galactic Mage Series
At long last and, yes, at least 6 months behind schedule (and surely to be another 6 at least), I’ve finished the first draft of book 6 of the Galactic Mage series. That image there is a screen shot of the actual "The End" that you will, hopefully, one day read. I...
Political Posts as Social Media Terrorism
I am proposing a political-post ceasefire for December. It’s the end of the year; it’s the Christmas and Hanukkah holidays for many, and, well, what we all need right now is niceness. We need forgiveness. We need people to be kind to one another and stop, at least for...
Comcast Sucks: a Super Profane Rant – Do Not Read
WARNING: Profanity ahead. Don't read this if you are my mom or you can't handle profanity. How can any company possibly have as terrible customer service as Comcast? It’s like, to suck this bad, they seriously must go out and recruit college students who major in...
Dazed 10 Year Old Has Seizure, Escapes Home and Is Pounced on by Pedophiles—I Was There and Saw It All Happen!
We all know this kind of thing is inevitable; we are every day alerted to whatever child has been kidnapped or abused somewhere in our violent nation. We hear it every day, over and over, on every channel, the warnings. We hold our babies near us and cringe...
May 2015 – Progress Update on Book 6 of The Galactic Mage Series
Well, basically I am dumping about 80 pages. Garbage can city. Might only be 56, but might be 102 or so. We'll see how many. Doesn't matter how many. They have to go. I've been sticking to my outline very carefully, and, frankly, as much as my outlines are so vital to...
Could You People Please Stop Dying and Getting Married. Thanks.
So I am going to a wedding this weekend. I hate weddings. It’s not just because I can’t dance and therefore hate dancing, which is ultimately what the whole goddamn thing ends up being about. If it was just dancing, fine. Whatever. Have an open bar and watch how much...
Why Political Posts on Social Media Destroy Relationships
Everyone knows that you should never bring up “religion or politics” in polite company. None of us actually ever do … at least not in “real life”. I mean, when was the last time you were hanging out at a bar or at the hair salon and just whipped out your most emotive...
A Thank You Note to the Sutter Folks Who Helped My Wife
This blog entry (well, the part I copied below) is actually copied from an email I sent to Sutter Hospital after a grueling experience getting my wife through a gallbladder surgery. I'll set this email up by pointing out that we actually went to another hospital in...
