Forgive

For a couple of years, forgiveness felt like a sin. It was a betrayal against myself. I recoiled at the thought of letting go of my comfortable hate. I felt wronged. I felt tricked into love. I felt abandoned after being used up. And I felt so right – so justified – to relive those […]

Keep on moving

I’m not in one spot for long these days. Different neighborhoods, different neighbors. I moved a few days ago. Not far, but elsewhere. I had been in a place where the main feature was running water. The new place has a pool, a gym, and a hot tub. It’s surrounded by embassies and a huge […]

I haven’t had words

The past years have been rough. Abandoned for with no sensible explanation by my former partner. A child I helped raise removed from my life for no reason save for the bitterness of venom. And the few times I was moved to write my true emotions was met with a conceited letter from a lawyer. […]

Bunny

I never got to meet you. You were a person I desperately wanted in my life. I wanted to see a little piece of me, formed from nothing but love, cradled in my arms. You were going to be a wonderful person, learning and loving and questioning and playing in our house. You were going […]

Big changes (video!)

A lot has changed since my most recent post here. I’m divorced again. But I don’t want to peddle in personal drama as some are wont to do. If you want the details, be a close friend and ask me in private. Anyway, I’m now untethered, I work fully remotely at a rewarding job, and […]

Yearly check-in time

It’s true! I’m still here. I’m posting. And LOL at that title, it’s been far more than a year since I’ve pinned something to this blog. Plenty has happened in the meantime, and I feel like I’m more inclined to check in and write here more frequently. I’ve gotten a different job. Still using my […]

Thousand Year Old Vampire (Part II)

Our adventure about Isabeau the newly-created vampire continues! This is a story being told using the game Thousand Year Old Vampire. If this is the first you’ve seen of this adventure, I suggest that you read Part I of this adventure where we describe Isabeau’s mortal life and the event that turned her down the […]

Thousand Year Old Vampire (Part I)

I’ve always had an itch to play Role Playing Games, but the actual play has been limited to when a group can get together on a regular basis. As an adult with a job, and with my friends as adults with jobs, it’s possible to do, but never really spontaneous. Then I heard of this […]

VOTE (for Beto)

It’s that time again, when we are asked to do our civic duty and pick the people who will run our nation. Since we totally fucked up two years ago, it’s time to fix it. This is no time to go third party. First priority is the GOP out, which means vote Dem. Then we […]

Muh Face Hurts

I had the privilege yesterday of getting some minor dental work done. Don’t ask me the name of the procedure, but it involves a bone graft, where they take a tiny drill and make holes down to the marrow. (Brief tangent to say that whoever invented local anesthesia should get a prestigious award, if that […]
