So I'm rewriting chapter one of my novel, Red Star Sheriff, and I'm curious, which opener do you think works better? The original? Or the rework? I'm trying to be more descriptive but I'm curious if a shorter, more into it sequence is preferable versus the more visually descriptive work. If you have an opinion, … Continue reading NOVEL INTRO REVISITED: WHICH WORKS BETTER AND WHY?
BEFORE WE GET too far into this, let me just say this now and profusely, this will be getting into heavy spoilers for Star Wars The Last Jedi. If you have yet to see it (and if you are still interested in seeing it given the controversial nature of the film) then you should run … Continue reading THE CASE FOR THE LAST JEDI: A STAR WARS STORY (DISCUSSION)
Jesus...I am SUCH a child of the 80s. I was just watching a video on Youtube that I completely disagreed with. It was ragging on Mass Effect Andromeda for...I don't know, reasons I guess.

Or if it’s not bad, it at least is predisposed to certain proclivities that can’t be ignored. For most people, racism as a term implies the eternal struggle between … Continue reading Us Vs Them: The Human Condition
I am so SICK and tired of hearing how AWESOME the PC players are with their nonsense gaming experiences! Playing games on the PC fucking sucks! I mean completely! I have had enough of the obstinance from the PC community thinking they're superior to the rest of us. I'm a console player through and through … Continue reading To Hell With The PC “Master Race”!
I've been wondering lately about something. Do we still need nations? We're so divided as a species that we're all constantly warring with one another over "sovereignty" and "statehood" yet we refuse to be concerned with the issues of others who are not ourselves. This leads to the very real threat of global violence on … Continue reading The New World Order

So I've been trying for the last two and a half months to get ahold of somebody through my company's insurance provider. Nobody would answer the phone (their directory menu was utter crap allowing no way to talk to an actual person), I couldn't enroll online through the system because it didn't "recognize my information", … Continue reading Open Enrollment Needs To End
