Introspection - Blackbirds are Indestructible

When Words Fail

The only thing between me and massive organic damage is the belief that no matter how much it sucks today, tomorrow always has the potential to be better.

What The Hell?

Two entries in one day? OK, something must definitely be wrong. Yeah, lots of things are wrong, but that's not the point. Earlier today I spent a few hours writing the previous post, only to later discover that in Ready The Invocation Array, roughly a year ago, I made a

Recap Shmecap

If I were to try to explain all the things that have happened since my last real entry which are at least somewhat noteworthy, this would probably go on for pages and pages. So rather than rehash the past few months, we'll just pick up the story of our hero

Instant Karma's Gonna Get You

This has nothing to do with my sci-fi "novel" and is more in line with the sorts of things that usually appear in this space. For the longest time, I never used to believe in karma; I always thought it was one of those stupid concepts that was

Reflections on 2016 - Part One

Let me start off by wishing all zero of you that read this a happy ${insert holiday here}, regardless of whatever December or end-of-year festivities you choose to celebrate. Or, if you're like me and you just don't give a shit about any of that stuff, I'll just wish you
