I will not be the only one who loses here today!

About Me

Married. Fond of my beard. I'm a casual gamer with hardcore interest in the market. Business operations and decision analysis excite me in a sad way. I love anime and manga, mostly anything well written with a point. I completely intend on writing, inventing, and moving.

A Thrill of Hope

I've decided (with such absolute authority that it can't be argued with) that A Thrill of Hope is a cool band name. I like it so much it makes me want to play/write music again. Not really. I wan...

Life treatin ya good?

The anime fans out there may notice two things: 1) "life treatin ya good" is one of the many catch-phrases of one Might Gai, which 2) has nothing to do with the new Bleach wallpaper. Further, they may...

The way I is

Today I feel like there's a supernova occuring in my head. I feel like infinite stars are being pulled from infinite skies and they are all being consumed by the wretched throbbing of my head. Those s...

Running to the tower of Babel

Does anyone else feel like they can read the intentions or thoughts of people by just a few moments of interaction? Or maybe even a brief glance? People radiate such things; myself included. That...

Fair thee well, Hopeful Futility

One year in Catlantis

As I ate my morning Eggo waffles - cinnamon and brown sugar, wazzup! - and cheerily cut my bites into pieces that look like little slices of waffle pie (or 2D waffle cones), I OF COURSE couldn't ...
