I’ve been doing some tutorials on making table top gaming maps. I am posting the maps here for everyone to see. These tutorials can be seen on my gaming channel Nat 20 Gaming.

Are GMO foods safe? It seems that no topic in recorded history is as devisive as the subject of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), particularly in our food. With over 2,000 scientific studies on the subject (Entine), GMO foods are one of the most (if not the most) studied subjects in history. There are terabytes of…

Most of us have been involved in a discussion that turned into a ridiculous argument. In almost every one of these situations, the conversation took a turn for the worse after you presented a well reasoned argument backed by facts, figures and citations that contradicted someone’s closely held beliefs. What’s interesting is that the beliefs…

Not my words, but definitely my sentiment: The laws in the Old Testament were set forth by god as the rules the Hebrews needed to follow in order to be righteous, to atone for the sin of Adam and Eve and to be able to get into Heaven. That is also why they were required…

The other night, Bill Nye was on the Nightly Show. He made a very valid and salient point. Racism, in nature, doesn’t actually exist. I agree with his point… Bear with me – I’ll explain. “In biology, a species (abbreviated sp., with the plural form species abbreviated spp.) is one of the basic units of…

Liberal – adj.: 1) of, pertaining to, based on, or advocating liberalism, especially the freedom of the individual and governmental guarantees of individual rights and liberties. 2) favorable to or in accord with concepts of maximum individual freedom possible, especially as guaranteed by law and secured by governmental protection of civil liberties. 3) favoring or…

Here’s some thought for you… Love the president? Good on you. Hate the president? Good on you. Love or hate him, so many Americans are forgetting something… He was elected. By the people. That is the nature of democracy. You not liking him doesn’t matter… Obama is YOUR president. We, as a country, elected him.…

Dear Sir or Madame, I recently discovered that my cats have a mild flea infestation and set about rectifying that this morning. To that end, I purchased your “Hartz® UltraGuard® Flea & Tick Spray for Cats.” I would first like to say that I am EXTREMELY impressed by the efficacy and efficiency of your flea…

If you have children and you choose to not get them vaccinated, I have no time for you in my life. Simply put, you are putting your child at risk… SERIOUS RISK – disability, blindness, brain damage and even death… With the vaccines that are currently in use, there is a .0000008% chance of serious…

This… is important

Every woman has had a moment in their life where they have thought to themselves, “Yup… this is the moment of my rape.” Even if it didn’t happen… they were expecting it to… And that… THAT why I say that any statement defending men… any statement that says “#NotAllMen is a problem… it elevates the males…

Here’s the thing… #YesAllWomen is important… #NotAllMen seeks to defend the males in our society… As one of them… I can TRUTHFULLY say… that we all have done something that belongs under the #YesAllWomen… ALL OF US… Even if you can’t recall, or you are an enlightened male… you weren’t always… and just by your…

According to reports, Fred Phelps died last night at around midnight (local time). I wrote about this a couple days ago HERE. The nation is gearing up for a cheer and sigh of relief. I, however, urge a different course of action. A moment of silence and respect. Think about this… We live in a…

I posted a story by one of my friends… an NT awash in the fun that is a household with two Aspies and 3 individuals with bipolar… He will be writing more entries in his series. I am excited for them… You should be, too.

According to reports, Fred Phelps is on his deathbed in hospice care. I have been reading up on it and the reports vary. Most of them are based on a facebook post by his son, though a couple sources say that his son is “not well informed.” In case you have been living under a…

Please note (and this comes as someone who is a gun enthusiast and second amendment supporter)… The president has never made any statement about taking guns… The congress has never made a statement about taking guns… they have debated gun control laws… in reference to new gun purchases… For the record… as both of those…

I should state that differently… Sometimes I am ashamed to be a Male with Asperger’s. As I have stated on several occasions – I frequent several boards dedicated to Autistic Spectrum Individuals. In more than one instance, threads on these boards have made me deeply ashamed to be male… and Aspie… Or just male…I don’t…

The sportsball mega cup was last night… As you can tell – I don’t care about sports… unless the New Orleans’ Saints are in the super bowl. ANYWAY… Coca-cola ran the following advertisement. So… This ad pissed A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF… BECAUSE… well… near as I can tell… RACISM. People were screaming about how…

As most of you know, the south has been assaulted by a couple cold snaps in the last month. I know what most of you are thinking – “we get temperatures colder than that in july!”. Well, we don’t. We are not conditioned or equipped to deal with it. Our Walmarts sell hoodies as “heavy…

This is a new series for me. My “Care and Feeding of Your Aspie” series is designed to take topics and explain autistic perceptions in reference to the topic. The Adventures of Captain Aspie is different. Instead of taking a broad topic and explaining it in a way that NTs and Aspies alike can learn…

I am honored to be featured on this site.. My Interview

On deviantArt, the following comments were made… I hate that so-called “aspies” demand hugbox treatment instead of equal treatment. I don’t subscribe to that particular school of bullshit, however. I don’t care if you’re black, white, Mexican, autistic, or have no arms, if you act like a fuckface I treat you like a fuckface. I’ve…

My blog JUST hit 30k hits… I appreciate that my words mean enough that you keep coming back. The halloween season is very BUSY for me… so, I have been posting slow. In 2010, my friend Tony Pallo (Owner of Pallo Productions) did a short film for Halloween called “Trick or Treat.” I was not…

Let me start by saying this… I AM POINTING FINGERS IN THIS POST. The republicans voted to shut down the federal government. Yet, many people, the republicans included are blaming the democrats and the president. I have to ask those who say the administration is to blame? How? We have a protest shut down over…

A year ago… I announced that I was done with the politicians and was running for president. the announcement can be seen HERE. A few days later, I announced my platform… which is HERE. I was really hoping that I wouldn’t have to write this today. I was hoping that the American Republican Party would come to…

Today, my friend the Shadro posted this on facebook today – Surgery reduces autism-related screaming. Here is a quote from the article: “Dr. Seth Dailey, a UW Health surgeon and otolaryngologist, separated the cartilage in Kade Hanegraaf’s vocal cords, creating a larger gap for air flow and limiting the sound power.” A little bit of background… Vicki…

I have encountered a lot of people that claim to have insomnia. Some of them do, but most do not. The thing is, most people don’t know what it is to be an insomniac. Most of those people that have had an episode of insomnia have really only been sleepy. They will stay up… Doing…

No images in this one… because I use those to enhance the humor of the situation… and there is no humor here.  Congress/Mr President, I respectfully ask… why are we 1) aiding the terrorists that we have been fighting for so long? It is common knowledge that al queda and the syrian rebels work together.…

We head out to the Lafitte Bayou in louisiana in my new segment – “Yes, it is touristy…but I’ma do it anyway.” This episode has very little content, it is mostly a travelling tour of the gorgeous bayou set to classical music. The end features an encounter with 900 pound gator named vicky.

Today… I was on facebook and a friend posted something that made me see red. On twitter @lennonandmaisy posted a picture. It was of an anonymous letter that had been slipped under the door of the parents of an Autistic Child. Below is the letter. This very kind of thing is the reason I have this blog.…

As IFLS reported:  There has been a story spreading across the internet which claims that courts have “quietly ruled” that autism is caused by the MMR vaccine, and many of you have asked us to comment on the validity of that article. The talking points of that story are heavily based on fraudulent data from the…

“Autism is hardwired into the brain.” – Alex Durig, Ph.D. Kriss Hoffman recently wrote a great essay about curing Autism.  I wish I wrote it.  I suggest you read it before reading this essay.

Is started this blog over a year ago as a depository for my ramblings. For the longest time, most of the posts had between 3 to 8 hits… It was a low count, but that was fine… the readers weren’t the point. Then the folks on Wrong Planet (www.wrongplanet.net) started talking about the need for…

Before I discovered “Epic Rap Battles of History” I would have told you that I hate rap music. I was introduced to that series and enjoyed it a lot. Through that…I discovered Epic Lloyd. This man has some amazing work. I thought I would share my favorite with you… I hope you enjoy.

Back in the day… Which was a Wednesday, by the way… I used to play a game on my Playstation called “Spyro the Dragon”… an odd, but charming little platformer. For the record…I LOVE platformers… now, ask me if I am any good at them… (I’m not). Since I am not good at them, I…

See? Big can be beautiful, too. Let me start by saying that my permanent partner is a size 18 and is goddamn sexy for it. For that matter, most of my play partners through the years have been “bigger women.” I stand almost 7 feet tall and weigh in at almost 300 pounds. I have…

The legislation as proposed will do nothing… nothing at all to stem the violence… why? 1) bun owners that are following the law and getting guns through the permit process are not committing the crimes and therefore is meaningless and ineffective. 2) restricting gun a, when gun b is as effective (by the gun owner’s…

Hey guys… just a heads up… there are a few frauds and con men in our community… two or three of them are actually… Actually, there are probably a lot more of them, but I know of two or three. No. I will not give you names… First of all, many of you know them.…

Let me start out by saying there will be NO humor in this post. This is not something to laugh about… or even consider laughing at… or snicker at… When I put each entry together, I write it and then go searching for images that make my point in a humorous manner. Not today. If…

Neil Gaiman created a multimedia project – “A Calendar of Tales.” A different short story for every month of the year. Then he called for photographers, illustrators, painters and the like to submit their interpretations of the short stories. Then, on February 25th, he opened the project to film makers. This is our first piece…

There is a a site called Nerd Bastards… (www.nerdbastards.com) It’s pretty much a geek’s paradise. They cover nerd news, geek couture, art, etc… They cover all things nerdy. Recently, I created a photomanipulation using an image of Doctor Who’s Tardis and Salvador Dali’s Persistence of Memory. It looks like this. And today… The Nerd Bastards featured…

Blaming guns for all this violence is like blaming McDonalds for making people fat. It’s the mentality of our culture, not the items that are causing the problems. We have 50-100 (according to FBI estimates) serial killers operating in this country at any one time. Few, if any, of those use guns. 15k murders in…

Kind of… It was the 5th annual Film Industry party in New Orleans… Normally, I don’t do parties. I make a couple exceptions every year: Halloween and Christmas. The industry Halloween party is a “come as your favorite dead celebrity” theme. Christmas is just a meet and greet. It’s producers, directors, writers and actors. Last…

Episode 18 is live. We used the funds from our fundraiser to build a new camera jib.  

Okay, I promised you a platform statement and here it is. First, I am going to make some declarations. These are things that either a) you, as the american people need to know. -or- b) things that might come out in a negative light as a result of my campaign. I figure, since I believe in honesty,…

I’m done with politicians! You read that right. I am running for president. I’ll pause to let that sink in… I…am…running…for…president… Not this year… I know that I don’t have time to do the ground pounding and work required before November 6th. I’m crazy… I’m not stupid. I am running for president for the 2016…

Today… today is a rant… Plain and simple. No making a point, no being funny… just plain vitriol. Fuck religious fundamentalists. I am so tired of the hate. I am tired of these fuck-heads taking what is a religion of love and perverting it to suit their own brain-dead hatreds and petty differences. And I’m…

Episode 15 – the first part of our exile due to hurricane Isaac. More to follow.

Today started out moderately blah with a couple minutes of blech. Then it got worse. I found out that Jerry Nelson died. It hit me really hard. Trust me when I tell you this: if you are of my generation, then Jerry Nelson was a big part of your childhood experience. I promise you. You…

Every one wants their cake and eat it, too! There is a lot of discussion going on about how DSLR cameras are breathing life into the wold of independent film making once again. I will admit this… it is a true statement. But, Feral, what’s a DSLR? SLR is an acronym that stands for Single…

No. Not these aliens Prometheus came out this weekend. As a fan of Ridley Scott and more specifically, the “Aliens” franchise, I was excited. That excitement was misplaced. As a prequel to the movie, “Alien,” this film had some big shoes to fill. Instead, it was like a little kid running around in daddy’s work…

The project we’ve been working on for a couple months has finally started rolling… Here’s episode one:

Smart or stupid… You tell me! Last week, the site www.groupon.com posted something that was both appalling and brilliant. A film posted a groupon that allowed you to buy your way into a zombie film. Let’s look at the positive side. the production sold something like 40 of these groupons that’s 40 people that will learn…

That’s right! Film STUFF! Since I have been talking a lot about film stuff. I thought I would continue to do so. It’s not that I think you want to READ more film stuff, but more that I am ass deep on production right now. What that means is that I am locked into an…

I’ve been talking about the film making process a lot lately… In case you missed it… Film making is boring! My reason for talking about it so much is that we are getting ready to shoot the first episode of our series (Web series right now… aiming for television, but probably won’t get there… BUT…

Since I recorded this, Santorum dropped out of the race, but it is no less important.

I am a film maker. You may or may not know that. When people find out what I do, they invariably say “That must be exciting!” Or something to that effect. Let me tell you this… Movies are exciting. Making them is not. I am telling you this, because in a week’s time, I will…

NO. Don’t reboot now!I still need to save my work. I am getting tired. The whole point of film is to tell a story. These stories should be original, or at least original takes on existing themes. Don’t get me wrong. I mean, the debate over the Hunger Games and Battle Royal is stimulating, but…

About a year and a half ago, I met Mari while working on the set of Battleship Delta. Now they’re calling it “Battleship.” ANYWAY… A while later, I was doing some stand-in work for Daniel Cudmore on the set of “the Baytown Disco.” I ran into Mari again when we were on location in Slidell, Louisiana.

I was going to rant. Any major religious holiday brings it out in me. I fancy myself a thinking person, and these holidays are truly disturbing to me in most cases. It is hard for me to believe in something that is not substantiated by repeatable and proven fact. The christian religion has taken symbols…

Look Ma, No hands! episode 08 is up… I have a job, my hair changes, and I’m a wizard! >>>END OF LINE<<<

Today, we go on a location scouting excursion for the first episode of Project Z: History of the Zombie Apocalypse. I interview writer, director and producer Tony Pallo. We get lost in the Coutourie Forest and Glitch and Timber get chased to their death.

Yes… this SOPA Remember SOPA? Remember how we were all pissed off about the fact that they were going to try to give the big media conglomerates huge sweeping ability to censor the internet when instances of intellectual property theft were seen? Guess what? The reason SOPA was even on the table as a concept…

Today’s teens are, in my opinion, a bunch of entitled pains in the ass. I know, this is a blanket statement. There are many awesome teens out there… I’ve had the privilege to work with a couple of them… but on the whole, they need to be taught a lesson… This man is my hero.…

Episode 6 is up… This episode: we talk to Timber Wulff and look at auditions for his new series, “Toxic Tales with Timber Wulff.” He’s going to be a horror film host. Enjoy!

I was angry… like this. When I was younger, I used to say, “If you’re not angry, you are not paying attention.” As I have aged, I have struggled to get away from this mentality. I have worked very hard to embrace my intellect and eschew that primal side of me that hungers for the…

Yup! That’s the movie. I went to see the Hunger Games this week. Before I get into the movie, I want to address some things. Disclaimers:First off, I read the books before the movies were announced. I am not one of those annoying purists who whine and complain because “The book was better.” or “They left…

Many Perceptions.org interviewed me. That is the link to the write up of Jon’s interview of yours truly. He says a couple very nice things about me. I am pleased and embarrassed.  I’m humbled.

Is this thing on? Recently, I received a request for an interview. It was odd… I do not consider myself the kind to be interviewed. I just do my own thing. I make my silly movies, record my vlog, work on my novels and pour my brain out on the blog. I will admit I…

No bananas! That vow was:Feral’s Pledge of Moral MoralitudeI pledge that until congress…

A couple weeks ago, while driving my T-maxx 3.3 RC truck, I accidentally drive it into a deep puddle and destroyed the radio system. I felt like a complete dumb-ass. I’ve always said that if you’re not breaking things on Nitro trucks, you’re not having fun. We tend to push them REALLY hard, and they…

See that blank stare? That’s what we all think about younot knowing about the moon landings. July 20th, 1969. We landed on the Moon. Everyone remembers the event.

I hate it when people will post articles from disreputable sources without even doing a cursory check over at www.snopes.com.I hate it even more when people get pissed that they post things like “Canadian Scientists Cure Cancer and No One Takes Notice” or “NASA spends millions to make astronaut pen while Russians simply use a…

Let’s start this blog entry off by saying I do not believe in PC speech. Not really.

I seriously have a romantic relationship with the language, so witnessing its destruction is heart breaking.  Hate…

This is the official advertisement for the “Free Flexor.” That’s it. Just watch the commercial. Seriously. Watch it. I have watched this thing at least 30 times and I have laughed myself sick. It just keeps getting funnier every time I see it. I am curious. Do you think that the guy that invented this…

This blog story moved me more than I can say. This is the center piece of the parade in question – MUSES! Amy, the mother of a very special little autistic girl (Emily) took her daughter to the Mardi Gras parade of the Krewe of Muses. A drunken college student pushed to the front with a…

This is all a rant. It is a rant about a youtube video. Let me say that I believe that youtube is at once one of the most amazing advances of humanity and the worst thing to happen to the internet. Ever. That being said, last night one of my facebook friends shared the following…

I am sad to say that I cannot post one of my photos from Mardi Gras… an adorable girl dressed as a banana! So… I have to say this… You whole life pledgers need to STFU and congress needs to get over itself and get it’s hands, minds and rules of women’s bodies! While we’re…

It is, at the moment I started this entry, 25 minutes till midnight on February 21, 2012. Yes. It’s Mardi Gras. For those of you who don’t know, I live in New Orleans, Louisiana. Actually, I live in a smallish suburb that is surrounded by New Orleans on three sides (North, East and West), but…

I’ve spoken a great deal about the stuff that goes on inside my head. I’ve tried to help you understand bipolar and ADHD… I’ve not covered Asperger’s, but that is a completely different creature… Maybe someday I will try to explain that to you. Hell, for a good example and rendering of a character with…

I try to keep a spare bottle of hair dye on hand for touching up my plumage. (Being the beautiful and rare “Blue Crested Weirdo” is hard work after all) So, once I crack open the last bottle, I order a new one.  Yeah, I have to order them because I can’t find any place…

There are a lot of things our there in the world that I find annoying or just plain stupid. There are others that offend me or just plain piss me off. I have found something that has managed to do all of these things and more! Here it is: http://www.untilabortionends.com/en-us/default.aspx While I admire those who have…

This is the best grammar you will get from me…FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!! I know my blog doesn’t feature much in the way or proper English. Hell! Most of the time you get something akin to the image to the right here. Seriously. Let me explain. The gun sums up me up to a…

I normally avoid the word hate. It holds memories and associations of a bad time in my life. Before I was diagnosed bipolar, I had a very dark time… Hatred was my world view… LITERALLY, the word hate popped into my head without provocation or prompting on more than one occasion. Sooo… when I use…

BANANA PHONE! Banana Phone! THAT IS ALL!

So… by now, you have heard about the infamous “Alabama Tea-bagger” incident in New Orleans. Wait… you say you haven’t heard about this? What’s tea-bagging, you ask? What is this “New Orleans” you speak of?  I respond with the following… Where the hell have you been?? I mean seriously! Where??  Okay… recap.  The Alabama vs.…

Welcome to Quantum Jump Vacations… our cruising altitude today is somewhere between weird as fuck… and insanity… the weather at our destination is a balmy “WTF?” http://www.daviddarling.info/images/quantum_entanglement.gif Quantum Jumping… mark my words, it’s going to be all the rage… all the kids will be doing it. According to “science” one guy has been doing it…

Sisterface is super-foxy – true story. I am serious. I went to the Fondue Goddess’ house and the Sisterface had something. Something foul and evil. She had serious Kathleen Turner voice… Smoky, smoldering… hot… Of course, it helps that the Sisterface is already super-foxy… True story. ANYWAY… I left the Fondue Goddess’ house and went…

Update: I FOUND THIS!  That is the last one… I promise… That is all.

Banana videos! Oh, and a pickle rap! That is all. “Wait. Isn’t there more? Aren’t you going to say something about these? You have an healthy obsession with bananas!” Nope. Nope. And absolutely.

It’s January the 18th… internet blackout day… people have become so upset over the internet piracy acts that MAJOR websites are down for the day in protest. Today, your internet will look like this: This is Craigslist.com today. And this: And this is Wikipedia.  “But, Blue Haired Weirdo! What does it mean?!” It means that…

I’m a banana! That is all.

Here it is… 5:33 am. I have a meeting with Liam: The Brick today. I should have been asleep hours ago… but I can’t sleep. http://johnballdc.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/osteoporosis-x-ray.jpg When I was a child, it would have been because there was a monster under the bed. Unfortunately, it’s not like that. There’s no monsters under my bed. There’s…

I make it a rule not to bash something that I have not experienced. So, this last holiday season, I set out to watch the Harry Potter Movies. As much as it disturbs me to say, I enjoyed them. Very much… HOWEVER, they left me with a mighty metric ton of questions. Voldemort is supposed…

I suck at small talk. I mean, I really suck at small talk. I really, REALLY suck at small talk.  The following is just one example.  Random Person Whose Name is Unimportant – “How’s life?” Me (Cheerfully) – “Subject to entropy, chaos, decay and eventual death. How’s your mom?” Random Person Whose Name is Unimportant…

I just wanted to share this … it is a case of pure win! I mean a WHOLE case of it. That is all!

When you dance around your living room, semi-naked (don’t ask) singing Raffi’s song “Banana Phone” to a large floofy cat… it turns out that they are not amused. That is all.

It is rare that I see something and just want to have it. I was watching live TV… (that post is here.) and I saw this! I have looked at a couple reviews and I WANT THIS!!! THINK ABOUT IT! Screw the environmental impact. (Don’t get me wrong… I LOVE the environment. I recycle. I…

For this to make any sense… you should totally read my last blog post. I said that I want my netflix back… Then I saw this commercial <– click the link and watch it. I SAID WATCH IT! Now I don’t want anything to do with netflix either.

I make movies for my day job. That is to say… I am a film maker and I spend all my extra money making movies. Film making is one of those weird businesses that show no return on your investment until you “make it.” This year, if I may so, is our year. We have…

So… I have been writing since I was… Wait a sec… I have to think about that… I have been writing since I was 13. That’s 24 years. ANYWAY… I keep notebooks of ideas. I keep them to keep track of my ideas, because I forget things. It also allows me to develop the ideas…

Seriously… it doesn’t… being in New Orleans during the new year, with the BCS championship and the sugar bowl going on, I have been asked by at least 10 (and this is no exaggeration) people, “Is your hair blue because you are a ***INSERT TEAM NAME HERE*** fan? NO! Now stop asking!

This poor bastard has met his match.

The title of this post may confuse you, but listen to the tale of the evil one with the tail… Wait. That’s not right… You may have heard (seen) me mention the Fondue Goddess before. I’m serious… she’s a goddess… of fondue… her business card says so. The Fondue Goddess has a cat. This cat…

I just went to get dressed and go see a friend (The Fondue Goddess)… and there is a cat in my pants. I will say it again because it bears repeating…. There.Is.A.Cat.In.My.Pants. It’s not Lilly… thank god… she’d be judging me… “You are going outside… again? WTF hoonam?!” It’s not Zoe… this is a good…

As you know, my hair is blue.  See? BLUE! WAIT? What? This is your first time reading my blog? Well… let me tell you… My hair is blue. See? That’s blue.  That is the definition of blue… In the dictionary, under blue – it says see my hair. On wikipedia, under Picasso’s “Blue Period” it says…

You probably know about my fire works saga. You probably know about my Me a Day project. You don’t? well… You can read about it here… (Episode 1: Quality control and Episode 2: Black Cat Update) and my “Me a Day” project is a series of self portraits taken over the span a year. (It can be…

I just received a text from my friend Ariana. It said: Oh god, there is a giant spider on my wall! This instantly called up images of this something like this: This is a REAL picture of a REALspider eating a real bird.  I texted back: Arachniphobe here… no help. Throw Rocky at it. (Rocky…

It was an interesting day… Mixed episode that started MANIC as hell, then fell off… I discovered that a treasure of a man, Coco Robicheaux, died back in November. He was a successful blues musician here in New Orleans and known all over the world… I never “knew” him, but I had a chance to meet…

I gave you some of the downsides of bipolar last night… and touched a little on why mixed bipolar is such a weird and dangerous thing… But today… after the depressive swing… I woke up MANIC… I could go ten rounds with mighty Thor and not feel a thing… Godzilla ain’t got nothing on me!…

I just realized that Black Cat probably didn’t get back to me because they don’t have my email address!!! savagelightstudios@gmail.com – let me know your settlement offer… I’m really cheap! I also was getting ready for bed and noticed something that terrified me…  MY TOENAILS ARE BLUE! Meep! She’s sweet, and knows her name, butnot really challenging…

I need a bag of these things.  As is so often the case, I try to start my blog entries around 10 am. Yet, as usual… here it is… almost 3am and I am finally getting around to it. Today was not like my other days…I wasn’t procrastinating… Today was just… one of THOSE days.…

I just thought that everyone would like to know that as of 4 minutes ago… Black Cat Fireworks has not gotten back to me… We’re still sentenced to live with Fssssss…Pop!

Seriously… What happened to quality control and value? Remember how I found the money in my pants? No? well you can read all about it here… (WHY IS MY HAIR BLUE?) I took that money and did what any 37 year old, 6’9″, pant hating (seriously, pants are evil), man-child would do: I went out…

A few days ago… I dyed my hair. See? I told you it was blue.  I dyed it blue. Why? Well, I will get to that in a moment. I was doing laundry… What does laundry have to do with my hair being blue? Nothing. Nothing at all, but it IS the foundation for this…

I forgot part of the story from my last post: The Horror of Urban Exploration. I’m sorry. I am a terrible person. I am a forgetful person. I am a person with ADHD… And you know what they say about ADHD, right? You don’t? Well, hell! Ask me about my attention deficit disorder… or pie……

Most of you know that I have a pretty dangerous hobby. Wait. No… you don’t know. I am a photographer. One of my favorite types of photography is Urban Exploration. There is a kind of sad beauty to be had in Urban Decay. For those of you who don’t know, Urban Exploration is exactly what…

I’ve gotten some feedback on my blog entries. Evidently, I am too negative for most people’s tastes. Guess what? I don’t care. I know it sounds snotty or obnoxious, but it’s who I am. Simply put, I am a misanthrope. I grew up as an idealist, but those ideals were quickly dashed. The world is…

November 30th, I had to call Canon Factory Service. My camera had a dead pixel. Fortunately, it is still under warranty. December 6th, I sent my camera off for repair. They’ve had it since the 8th. It sounds odd, but I am uncomfortable without my camera. It started out as an existential crisis. I was…

I have been on DeviantArt (www.deviantart.com) for 7 years. I spend a lot of time surfing the images. I’ll admit it… I’m addicted to art and beauty. Sometimes I am amazed by the things that are posted. I can’t say that I am not judgmental – I am. I have noticed that this is something…
