If my writing sounds a bit low, it’s because I’m quite heartbroken over some things, and don’t really feel upbeat. There’s still 87 posts at my old blog that do not have the right dates on them, and it’s driving me bat wacky. But in reading them, I’ve noticed that none of them are much…

A Village Review #02: Shay Thompson – Building Confidence, Community, and Authentic Connections
Shay Thompson was another amazing guest on Samantha Béart’s It Takes A Village, appearing on the seventh episode. Most of Béart’s guests have shared that their love of gaming came from personal interests rather than a conventional or educational route. Thompson’s journey was no different. The talented speaker and gamer has forged a career as…
Symbiosis Chapter 03: The Island of Revelation
The Seafarer cut through the waves with determination, heading straight for the docks at Dr. Turner’s private island facility. Their goal was to broadcast the initial high-frequency signal from the island, which would disrupt the hostiles for a short while. This would buy them enough time to reach the old radio tower outside of Bayvue…
The U-Haul Bloggian, Act 3
I started the move from the thumb drives to the new personal blog. Turns out a vast majority of the posts that I thought I had (I had xml imports and json rss feeds) were excerpts — which is why I hate when a blog theme doesn’t allow for infinite scrolling. I did find 144…
Fake People
I’ve noticed an unfortunate trend in the social networking statusphere, lately, and I felt compelled to talk about it at length. The topic, which is a general disdain for “fake” people, has confused me a bit, as there are so many ironies in what I am seeing posted. My mind, upon hearing the phrase “fake people,” immediately…
2024: Reflections on Embracing Change, Grief, and Self-Belief
Ever Miss Someone? Yeah, me too. Sometimes it’s not as obvious as when it feels like someone ripped my version of another’s existence from my soul (because apparently I’ll lose all hope without certain people around). Sometimes it’s just quiet and patient. Like you know they’re out there…somewhere…but you can’t just check in and see…
Symbiosis: Chapter 02 – Parasites? In *My* Marina?
The Seamaiden limped its way to the docks on the shores of small coastal town called Oakville. It was a small place, home to about 5,500 people, almost all of which lived in the hills overlooking the beaches nearby. Jack, Ava, and Mason were exhausted when they arrived, and Mason couldn’t get his mind off…
A Village Review: Kirsty Gillmore – A Reflective Study in Character Development
When I first left the toxic environment I was in back in August, I didn’t have a purpose for myself, other than to simply get out. I had a plan of sorts in my head: move into a shelter, rest, get into support groups, get a job (preferably full time and with benefits), and eventually…
Symbiosis: Chapter One
Beneath an Alien Storm Mason Silva stood at the edge of the wooden docks, the sun setting on the ocean’s horizon in a vivid blaze of orange and pink. His thoughts were accompanied by a gentle lapping of the waves against the hull of the boats ahead. He took a deep breath, drawing in the…
2025: Starting The Year With a Fizzle
It’s the first Saturday of the year 2025, and quite a bit has happened! I’ve set some unwritten resolutions as well as some that I wrote about in an earlier post. So far, all systems are operating smoothly. I’ve missed my morning routine so far, have written 50k words in various projects, have a couple…
