HOLY SHIT IT’S A NEW BLOG POST I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how much time I’ve lost, or has been stolen from me, because I’ve been unhappy. Unhappily married, unhappily employed, unhappily living. As human beings, nobody would choose to be unhappy, save for the willfully masochistic, and I’m not one of them.… Continue reading 500 Words on Happiness

A Pawn No Longer
“There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them.” — Denis Waitley I know this is a long post. Thank you for reading it in its entirety. Let’s begin at the beginning. I was diagnosed with Type II Bipolar Disorder 14 years ago at… Continue reading A Pawn No Longer
Thirty-Nine
I took some time to overhaul the look of this blog so that it was more centered on Dungeons & Dragons. I had intended, for the most part, on producing only content related to that game here. In the weeks since I made that change, I’ve struggled to generate said content. The explanation may be… Continue reading Thirty-Nine
Admiration for an Admiral
“No one is immune from failure. All have tasted the bitterness of defeat and disappointment. A warrior must not dwell on that failure, but must learn from it and continue on.” I’m trying to think of a villainous character that has affected me as thoroughly and deeply as Star Wars‘ Grand Admiral Mitth’raw’nuruodo. Writing villains… Continue reading Admiration for an Admiral
Being The Change

I have to remind myself that I will never attain perfection. I have to remind myself that I can’t work on myself alone. These can be difficult for me to keep in… Continue reading Being The Change
The Lonely Road to "Better"
I have a confession to make. I don’t always fully disclose what I’m thinking or how I’m feeling. It’s not that I intend to engage in deception, obfuscation, or lies of omission. In my mind, I consider other issues far more important than something that occupies the entirety of a single head weasel’s diatribe. When… Continue reading The Lonely Road to "Better"
Turning The Corner
The site going down for as long as it did feels like part of the last gasp of an awful time of my life coming to a close. Until now, I simply haven’t had the resources to do things like pay a large invoice like the one for my host, even a yearly one. Along… Continue reading Turning The Corner
Thine Own Self
In Hamlet, Polonius is a bit of a pompous windbag. Nobody really minds when he dies (spoilers) though the ramifications of that murder kind of tip things into the downhill spiral of death and despair that defines the climax of the tragedy. But before he reaches his stabbity end, he does utter one bit of… Continue reading Thine Own Self
Quick Update for Year Thirty-Eight
Yesterday I began my thirty-eighth trip around this planet. I want to get it started right with some changes. I mean, a lot of changes have been happening in my life, and I could go into detail about them, but for various reasons, I’m keeping those details personal. Hell’s bells, even writing that feels like… Continue reading Quick Update for Year Thirty-Eight
