Memorial Day: 2016

Admin/ May 30, 2016/ Political

  As I look around at the chaos of our election, the growing income inequality problems, and a whole host of other issues that remain I become sickened as I reflect this Memorial Day. On one hand, people celebrate the beginning of summer and use what is supposed to be a day of quiet remembrance as a day for parties,

Fire Emblem Fates: Revelations

Admin/ May 24, 2016/ Video Games

  I finally made it to the third game.  And the third path of Fire Emblem Fates seems to be intended as the golden ending to the game.  The true ending if you will.  And I can attest that it is so.  Combining all the characters you use in the first two routes and allowing you to keep almost all

Fire Emblem Conquest: Cleared

Admin/ May 22, 2016/ Video Games

      This post is very late.  I finished Fire Emblem Conquest roughly a week ago.  But I will say with pride that I completed it.  Birthright as I stated in an earlier post, did not feel challenging to me.  The few deaths I dealt with (before making a hard reset as any Fire Emblem Veteran will) were a

Admin/ May 11, 2016/ Political, Rants

    For my 200th blog post, I wanted to do something a little different.   Today is Yom Haatzmaut the day that Israel declared its independence and marked for the first time in so long that the Jewish people had our own homeland again.  Unfortunately, the world is not kind to the Jewish people.  War was and is inevitable

Mother’s Day

Admin/ May 8, 2016/ Rants

  As I wrote a blog post for my Mom’s Birthday just a few weeks ago, I felt that if I wrote a blog post again for Mother’s Day, that it would have been basically the same with a few nouns changed.  And to some degree, that’s perfectly fine. Its a testament to how amazing my Mom is that I

I open my eyes again and the fear is gone But the memories remain, floating at the top. The scars burn as mental blood flows. And
