Without even a taste test, I filled my growler with Mental by Pizza Boy Brewing. I always expect that the offerings from one of my favorite beer places will satisfy. But when one exceeds expectations so drastically, jubilant outbursts by both taste buds and vocal chords abound. “Holy balls this is awesome!” And the taste […]
The Saga of Cartebuz pt.2
Then came the fingers of blame. In trying to make even the supply, the king had gathered the food of the land together at his modest castle. For he was a good king, kind and fair. And he took no more than the miller’s share. And gave no more to his daughter than the barrel […]
The Saga of Cartebuz pt.1
The once glorious kingdom had fallen into despair. It happened soon after the great drought ravaged the land of Cartebuz. Where once there were vast, unending fields of golden grains, stalks healthy, and forcefully stretching their extremities to the heavens, there were limp clawing abnormalities, blackened and weak, inching their way skyward and failing too […]
Of traffic decisions and the pacing of life….
I love movie quotes. The expressiveness and relatable nature of quotes allows simple connectivity to numerous people. Regardless of background, movies are a universal entertainment medium and thus afford an easy discussion fulcrum. So, as segue to the purpose of this article, I offer this quote. “The world had went and got itself in a big […]
Who gives a shit?

Why do I cast emotional bait into the seemingly tepid quagmire that does nothing but devour and leave a gleaming, shining hook? I’m tired of creating for no one. I’m […]

I consume the worlds entertainments whole-heartedly. I push through weariness and scoff at the idea of rest. And occasionally, these drives all catch up to […]
Fairy Tale Love Story
In early years, the nurture of our imagination was abundantly important. We were encouraged to build and create with multi-colored bricks to engage the creative aspects of our fragile and simultaneously constructive and entrepreneurial tendencies. We felt validated when playing at cops and robbers or cowboys and indians, feeling, this was the practice for adulthood. […]
Core
I had considered brewing my own beer for quite some time. But for some reason I never set out on that journey. Perhaps I didn’t see a great deal of excitement in the venture, with craft beer offerings being created everywhere one turned. Maybe it was the thought that my own offerings would be poor […]

If a person speaks and there are none to hear
This has become more of an emotional journal, and less of a message and sharing of thoughts and ideas than I had wished it to be. I have poured forth much of the essence, or possibly mana, of my being into this “blog.” I have shared deep thoughts; I’ve bared song and soul to whomever […]
