You know, when I have my moments of self-doubt and depression, I really don't blame anyone that tells me to either get over it or just get help. After all, it's a tough world, and life doesn't stop just because we have a bit of a breakdown ( Read more... )

I can honestly say that life has been okay, but not that great in certain areas. You know, pretty much like everyone else out there. I have a good job and an amazing wife, but I have been having the hardest time with friends these days.

I wish I could tell you where this post will go. This is as close to "stream of consciousness" as I will get. So much has happened in 2012 that it all seems very much a blur.

• Meeting Tina's family.
• Emerald City Comic Con
• Getting engaged.
• Trek Trax and the Klingon Wedding
• ConCarolinas & the Klingon vs. Furry chess match

I'm going to make a very controversial statement. I would support a reboot of the Highlander franchise. Before you light your torches and brandish your decorative samurai swords, allow me to elaborate. Highlander was a great concept that obviously had amazing potential when it was first conceived in the mid-eighties, and the star power of Sean ( Read more... )

Something happened in my world this week that compelled me to post this. It’s just something that’s on my heart and mind, and isn’t meant to make anyone feel bad ( Read more... )
