Ignore This Test Post; Or Don’t. Doesn’t Matter To Me.
This is a test. This is only a test. Had this been an actual post it would have contained something of value.
Obligatory Turkey Day Post – 2021 Edition
Almost let the day end without sharing this old gem of a clip from the animated series Invader Zim. It’s an, at this point in my life, mandatory tradition to share this clip in some form online as my little way of “celebrating” this holiday. This is also a chance to post to say, yeah, […]
November 2021 Xbox Live Games With Gold

How That Day Felt
Today is September 11th, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. It was an event which still affects me mentally in some ways, even with my passive experiencing of it and 20 years having passed.

The Last Normal Day Of My Life
For all of us in life, there are defining moments which create a permanent before and after period in our lives where, from that point onward, something is forever changed. For me, one of those days was a Monday many years ago. I was a Junior in High School. Keep in mind that here in […]
