Yom Kippur: Fasting

Admin/ September 22, 2015/ Rants

  Yom Kippur begins tonight and while many non Jews (and Jews) see it as a day of fasting, this is not the central theme of the day.  Of course I have written about that issue in the past, so here I am going to address a little tidbit I have found with the fasting itself. A common saying one

‘ I will be continuing the trend of paying tribute to characters that have heavily inspired and influenced my writing.  The main event of this post is Magus from Chrono Trigger.   Hes a fan favorite among RPG Gamers for his neutral evil alignment.  He bad-ass one liners ensure he is never forgotten.  It also helps that he becomes a

Flemeth

Admin/ September 16, 2015/ Books, Video Games

  There are many characters in fiction that I draw inspiration from when I design those of my own, but not all characters are created equally and thus, some characters have more of an effect than others.  Flemeth from Bioware’s critically acclaimed Dragon Age Series is one of those created more equally than others. The Legendary Witch of the Wilds?

Why the Jewish People Should Not Trust Donald Trump

Admin/ September 7, 2015/ Political

I am finding its astounding and terrifying that a large number of people within the Jewish Community are supporting Donald Trump.  History dictates that my people tend to fear Secularism over Genocide.  And in recent memory, the Holocaust has pointed out the flaw in that fear. But fast forward to now.  Some (but not all) of the Jewish people feel

Happy Birthday to My Grammy

Admin/ September 2, 2015/ Rants

As my last blog post reflected on the tragedy of death, this next one will celebrate life. As I said in my other blog post, today is my Grandmother’s Birthday.  It may be one of the greatest joys for her to receive her first grandson the day before her special day.  On this special day now, that grandson writes a

Remembering My Papa

Admin/ August 31, 2015/ Rants

  August 31 has never been a day I have looked forward to.  While 1998 seems like an eternity ago in numbers, it still seems like it was too close to comfort. On that day all those years ago my Papa was finally bested by the Lung Cancer that he had been fighting for many years.  He was stubborn to

Admin/ August 30, 2015/ Political

  There are few topics that have been capturing media attention for such a long time as the Israeli Palestinian Conflict.  This post will be talking about the Origin of the name Palestine itself and NOT about the people who currently claim to be the people from that land area.   Before I continue, I want to bring up a
