Peace and Tranquility

Admin/ October 25, 2015/ Rants

  As of the writing of this post, I live in Florida.  It is perpetually warm here.  There is no winter to speak of.  There is ample sunshine which is good for my emotional state. As I write the words on the page, I am reclining on my outdoor couch, staring out at the parking lot before me.  I would

Back to The Present

Admin/ October 21, 2015/ Rants

  Today is the day where back to the future becomes the present.  10/21/2015 is the day that the characters who have captivated us all for many years arrive.  But looking around, I think they traveled to another dimension too.  Things look awfully weird in this back to the future (present) world. I want to know where the hover boards

Fighting With Despair

Admin/ March 14, 2015/ Rants

  Some of you may know this, but others do not.  I have had an ongoing battle with depression for most of my life.  That feeling of hopelessness called despair, is even now, a constant companion.  Fear of failure stalks me at every turn.  The feeling that I need to succeed to be happy is my one ambition.  But deep

The Day I was Humbled by a Video Game

Admin/ January 25, 2015/ Video Games

  Lately as some of you may be aware, I have been dealt a considerable higher amount of free time than I like.  Many people enjoy this extra boost to leisure time, but I am not one of them.  Down time to me is wasted time and drives me mad.   Instead, I decided to use this time to get
