We had found our way to each other in the vast void below. Our hands outstretched, searching, brushed into each other and found warmth. Then, in time, we found that they fit. We began to build, slowly, and unsteadily at first, finding the right materials to form a base, and gradually ascending upwards through the mists […]

Forgive, Forget, Repeat.
In the midst of the cool, dark, volatile, and unending sea, I was your island. I was the sun warmed sand that cradled your shivering form. I was the shade from the leaf canopy that gave shelter from the burning rays of the sun. I was the dependable earth, upon which you could rest your head, […]
The Fundamentals of Magic, and Marketing.
Shazaam! Abracadabra! Boom! Or whatever catchphrase modern illusionists and magicians use to bolster the impact of their dramatic reveal, or as is the case in many tricks, removal. These utterances refer to magic, not the fantasy kind, with long-bearded, staff-wielding, octogenarians projecting fire from their hands, and mentally coercing bears to fight for them; but […]
Knowing the end, and staring it in the face.
Its time, yes, its time! To leave things behind. The big and the small things, the mean and unkind! Time to forget the trifles, the spitefuls, and vengeful in mind. Time to forget the bitters, the hurtfuls, the malificent that bind. Time to shed anchors, and millstones, the ball and chain’id. Shed the guilting, the boring, and […]

It is also my distinguished pleasure to be enjoying a fantastic beer named after the originator of this phrase. South County – Virgil – This beer looks thin, […]

[…]
Fresh IPA Challenge!!
It’s hot outside. Really, really, sweltering hot. What could be better than a nice, cool, crisp, hop-laden beverage to slake ones thirst? I can think of few things more satisfying, beer-wise, than a refreshing ipa on a hot day, or any day for that matter. But if one is satisfying, several would be even better, right? What […]
Letting the Outside In
Occasionally, I go to the gym. The reason it’s occasionally, and not frequently, is that going to the gym to work out has become something I have to deliberately decide on, and plan out. Going to the gym used to be automatic. I would wake up, have breakfast, wait forty-five minutes, and out the door I […]
