The Celestial Sentry – A New Poem

In glory, I want to thrive; But beneath tempered victory my passion hides. Oh, tear the veil; Edit the world’s end; Until everyone feels the spirit of iniquity. Strife lives inside my skin; Somewhere beyond the oracle’s sight. I want to scratch until I free it; Be released from the ill-fitting suit. The punishment wasContinue reading “The Celestial Sentry – A New Poem”

Dreadful – Dark Poetry

Amorphous shadows swirl around me, drawn to the void in my soul. They burn and they freeze, they rip and they rend. The shreds of my sanity can no longer fight the lure of their wicked embrace. They howl my name, and her whispering words, push away the weight that I’ve borne. The darkness hasContinue reading “Dreadful – Dark Poetry”

The ‘Doctor Who’ Existence

As we live our lives, all people face the inevitable physical changes that accompany growing older.  First, our childhood body is left behind in puberty, then our activities shape our adolescent body.  In adulthood, our lifestyles will change our physical appearance, and having children will change it further (women much more than men, of course).  Finally, old age will begin the process ofContinue reading “The ‘Doctor Who’ Existence”

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – A Geek’s Nod

So, I’m a geek, plain and simple. However you want to shape it, I am – and always have been – into science fiction, fantasy, video games, comic books, history, mythology, etc. Believe it or not, I’ve actually read the Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien, and I have copies of BOTH the Star Trek and the Starfleet TechnicalContinue reading “Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag – A Geek’s Nod”

Sense in Nonsense

So, I’m happy to report that, after a little bit of an inspirational drought, I’m back at it.  I’ve been writing quite steadily, and the second book in the Reflections of Shadow trilogy is shaping up nicely. To those who were displeased with my last post, I’d like to apologize for the schizophrenic nature of this blog,Continue reading “Sense in Nonsense”

Musings on Love

Love. The word evokes so many images, ideas, opinions, and emotions that it’s difficult to know where to start.  But it’s been on my mind of late, so I’ll give it a shot. I guess I should begin by admitting (despite my predisposition towards misanthropy) that I’ve been quite lucky in love.  I’ve been blessedContinue reading “Musings on Love”

Creativity, Have You Been Swallowed By The Collective?

So, it seems to me that people, these days, are suffering from a nasty case of Groupthink, or “Collective” thinking (to borrow a concept made famous by the Borg in Star Trek: The Next Generation). Imagine, if you will, that you’re driving along a busy city thoroughfare, and you hear about a delay in the routeContinue reading “Creativity, Have You Been Swallowed By The Collective?”

Will Schrödinger’s Cat Help You Win The Lottery? It Depends…

Today’s Imponderable: I, like most normal human beings, hate getting bad news.  So, when I got some today, it got me thinking about whether getting bad news really is unavoidable… If you’re a fan of The Big Bang Theory TV series, you’re probably familiar with the basics of the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment.  If you’re not, theContinue reading “Will Schrödinger’s Cat Help You Win The Lottery?
