Is it sad that the first kiss Anabel and I shared was in a gaming store parking lot?

Perhaps there is a modicum of truth in the saying that Love will find you when you stop looking. As the deadline for classes drew near, all of my focus went to making sure that happened. That is when she started showing up to the meetups.

Now,...

I use the term, "news," loosely, as it tends to illicit a sort of professionalism. Something blogger Kevin McCullough lacks.

This yellow journalist seems to have taken cue from Jack Thompson, and decided the best way to slander candidates he dislikes is to make exaggerated claims against the video game industry. In his article (and subsequent rebuttal), he makes many references to the XBox...

People often call me lucky. Yes, there's the obvious things people see; "You're paid to be sick," "You don't have to work," "The government's paying for you to go back to school." But a lot of my friends (especially the ones in the military) say that I'm lucky because I didn't have to go overseas. Some even say it's more than fortune, considering that there...

Alright, so tonight was my game, along with the lovely lady. She dove right into the story, jumping headlong into the roleplaying, and did her best not to point out my less than ingenious video game references.

The game ends, and we're just sitting there, talking idle things. When finally, I get up the nerve to ask her for coffee. She smiled. And not just...

I'm having a bit of a problem. My family's bugging me for a gift list, and I am finding it unusually difficult to actually write one up. They think it's because I'm at a point, financially, where I can get what I want at a moment's notice; and that's true for the most part. But I think the root of the issue is that I...

A Debate for the Ages

Every time I hear the song, "Watching Over Me," I seem to become more and more touched by the song. It never fails. Whenever it comes on, I find myself singing along in a mix of triumph and lamentation, for I have survived, but many have not. It haunts me, yet I can't stop listening, and often seek out the song. I seem to desire...

Death and Rebirth

I couldn't sleep that night. Every time I shut my eyes, images of Anya's flesh being flayed from her bones filled my mind. That, curiously, wasn't what disturbed me. No. What disturbed me was the scaly hide that sludged forth to replace her ivory skin. Each putrid, gray scale seemed even more rancid than the last. And when the transformation was complete,...

It seems I was wrong, then. Perhaps you're not the kind person I once thought you were. I genuinely sought friendship with my message. But you seem so caught up in looking for the "dirty truth" in everything I say that you've missed that.

You truly are the cold hearted person you once called yourself.

Not only that, you show how spineless you are by...

Egression

I awoke to the sound of dragging chains. Attempting to shake of the massive headache pounding at my skull, I looked around, only to find jail cells. Countless rows of bars stretched out in front of me, containing both body and mind, each marked with a sign written in a strange language.

As my eyes cleared, I saw the source of the noise, as...
