Immortality

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

Scars

Admin/ May 3, 2016/ Poems

  I awaken, covered in sweat. I close my eyes and the screaming returns. Some scars are buried deep. Some hidden so far down that it requires unconsciousness to bring them to the surface. 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

Musical Dissonance In Video Games

Admin/ May 1, 2016/ Rants, Video Games

  As I have said in posts in the past, music is especially important to me.  I listen to it while I write just about everything.  It sets my mood when I am thinking.  And as the context of the title of this post already hints at, it serves as queues for me when playing a video game. I recognize

Fire Emblem: Conquest

Admin/ April 27, 2016/ Video Games

    I completed Fire Emblem Birthright and jumped right into Conquest.   And I’ll admit, this game is far more enjoyable than the last.  Most of all because of the amount of frustration it causes.  Fire Emblem Birthright felt like Awakening in that it was too easy to power your way through the game and ignore strategy.  Conquest will

My Mother’s Birthday

Admin/ April 25, 2016/ Rants

  Today is my Mom’s Birthday.  Even though I am roughly 1200 miles away from you, distance does not stop me from thinking about you ever day. My mom has always been a hard worker who fights against the odds.  She stands firm in being a teacher while living in a country that has made it its mission to destroy

Fire Emblem Birthright: Cleared

Admin/ April 24, 2016/ Video Games

  So this post is a little delayed, but that is fair since I delayed in finishing the game. I completed Fire Emblem Fates Birthright.  I’ll avoid spoilers in my review to the best of my ability. And although I knew going into the game that the difficulty was toned down for this path, I was a bit disappointed in
