Having finally seen Luke Cage, it’s safe to say that it’s some of the best work Marvel has done on-screen, be the screen big or small. It just edges out Jessica Jones as my favorite of the Netflix seasons so far. Both Daredevil seasons average out to being, ironically, above average, and Jessica Jones is… Continue reading When To Stand Tall
Underburough: Closed Circuit
There are times when I regret going into private investigation, considering I could be some sort of lawyer or stockbroker on the Upside. So many people in Underburough need help, though. It’s easy to feel like nobody’s on your side, when you look up to the sky and don’t see anything but the tiny-seeming lights… Continue reading Underburough: Closed Circuit
500 Words on Isolationism
The balance between work and life has yet to be fully struck. I’m still only a few weeks into the gig, and though I’m more comfortable being where I am and working alongside a dedicated, energetic, generous, and honest gentleman, the commute still drains me and the work presents new challenges to my logical skills… Continue reading 500 Words on Isolationism
Not The Same
While finding my groove with the new gig, and making plans to return more prominently to the Internet, I’ve been reconnecting with some of the music of my younger years.

500 Words On Failure Rate
It might seem to the outside observer, who only keeps track of me through this blog — and I do believe there are a few — that the last couple weeks have seen me sitting around doing nothing but play Star Trek Online (which I do every night, no YOU’RE the one with the problem)… Continue reading 500 Words On Failure Rate
Assassination
Assassination is a selfish, cowardly act. Case in point: last night, a rhino was assassinated. The term is usually applied to an individual of prominence, for fame or a political end, but I feel that doesn’t encompass the full depravity of the act. Assassination is murder for profit. Plain and simple. And Vince’s assassination is… Continue reading Assassination
Seriously, DFTBA
I am not composed of cells and tissue. I am composed entirely of awesome. So are you, provided you haven’t forgotten that fact. It’s an easy thing to forget, really. We live in a sad, fettered world that’s all about the gains and advantages, the one-upmanship and quick victories, the lionization of the false self-image… Continue reading Seriously, DFTBA

Code Monkey Flails At Code
*makes various ‘ook’ and ‘eek’ sounds* *slaps paws against keyboard* *throws monitor* So over the last few months I’ve been learning a lot about myself. In addition to exploring my inner mental and emotional landscape, coming to terms with seizing my own sovereignty, and doing my utmost to unlearn some nasty learned behaviors, I’ve made… Continue reading Code Monkey Flails At Code
The Patriarchy's Poison
Given the current state of affairs at home and abroad, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to how we got here. When you get right down to it, the root of the problem is what needs to be addressed. As bad as things can seem with the in-your-face nature of the situation in the… Continue reading The Patriarchy's Poison
