the problem with heroes
the problem with heroes is, there can be no heroes without villians - and there are no villians. but by creating heroes and villians, we are moved to a cause by anger and opposition to the villian - in the name of goodness and righteousness. but we are moved by a lie, and used to a cause of foolishness, pain, and destruction ( Read more... ) -
Cheers to new beginnings
so... 6.9.2011 I was married to Elizabeth Kunkler. On 3.6.2011, Elizabeth gave birth to my son - Benjamin Everitt Horning. Also last year, something terrible happened to my brother. October 2011 I started work as a network Security Analyst - finally the beginning of a career. I hope to get a Junior Security Engineer in a year or two. so much is ( Read more... ) -
the "husband is wrong" hormone
posited: there exists a hormone within the human body which, upon marriage, is secreted in the female body until, perhaps a few months to a year later, it reaches a critical mass of sorts. It is at this time that the unfortuate female has an overwhelming sense that what the husband is saying is incorrect - regardless of evidence to the contrary. ( Read more... ) -
Zombie attack
so, since I've gotten my car, I've sweated every night. Playing basketball, volleyball, found a hockey rink, except my stuff is still in storage so I just skated on crappy skates in the free skate.I've hunted down so many martial arts places I cant choose which one I want to go to- including the "Las Vegas Boot Camp' which is in no way martial ( Read more... ) -
an unexpected breath of life
I finally got a car. So for the first time since I moved to Vegas, I can finally explore. I've found a Capoeira group, and they are pretty awesome, nice big group, if a little young- they are pretty much all college kids, but thats typical for Capoeira. Found a great Wing Chun place- from the Yip Man lineage... then there is the jiu jitsu place ( Read more... ) -

fathers day
so what is it, a half a year since I posted? I started this thing, as an act of honesty... to get used to saying the things that I keep protected, even if to strangers. Then, I started to get to know some of the strangers, and I become a coward again. There are parts of me that I could be proud of... even arrogant about. God knows there have been ( Read more... ) -
draft from sometime... dont even remember
well I felt like I left a loose end in the last post. Actually I let quite a few, but the issue of faith was just a lead-in to the purpose of my post, so I skimped a bit. However, being an issue that is close to my heart, and most to pretty much everyone's heart, it bothers me having that loose end down in writing. Time to clear the air ( Read more... ) -
news
so, I haven't posted an entry in quite a while... and thats not really news. rather, its life as usual. I suppose its as it should be... Its not like I've been having experiences worth recording... not many anyway. A few blips of life here and there, but mostly, just recovering. I'm getting close to 34. I'm not young anymore. When I was young, I ( Read more... ) -
my friends
just got an idea. I'm gonna write a portrait of the people I know. Seems everyone I know I work with... pretty much. considering my penchant for talking to random strangers... few of them become friends. Leah - the nearly blind Aussie chick. Met her just walking down the strip. She is the exception I guess. Too bad she's moving back home. Loves ( Read more... )
