OK, I will be completely blunt. The idea of creating a list of goals for the year outside of what has been defined in a professional capacity (i.e. 'the day job says you need to make x number of customer success plans and hold y number of meeting') has me in the following mood: Crow… Continue reading Welcome to 2024 – A To-Do List

Who did I think I would be? Who am I now?
Re-aligning expectations. Sounds like corporate double-talk. A nice way to say, "yeah, we're firing everyone," without saying it. But I have to re-align myself in a few ways. One involves my photography. I had dreams of taking photographs like Helmut Newton or 11MileBay: Moody, strange, erotic and monochromatic. Instead, circumstances brought me here: I… Continue reading Who did I think I would be? Who am I now?
Beauty in the Ruins
Before I jump in, A.J. Harris' new short story is out in the world. You can order copies of the Silver Soldiers anthology at Delilah Dawson's website here. It's got 86 reviews so far! Guess there's an interest in these types of tales. Now, on to Hell House - or the ruins of the St.… Continue reading Beauty in the Ruins
November’s Chill
This will be a quick one - to be honest, the last month has been a little rough. In addition to dealing with the knock-on effects of COVID-19 and a follow-up infection, my cat Adia has been unwell. Just this month, he was diagnosed with Renal Lymphoma. He's been losing weight, and I've had to… Continue reading November’s Chill
Them There Video Blogs and Wut
Well, I've done it. I've created a video blog with ONE WHOLE VIEW since the premier. Want to see it? The photographs are mine and, yes, mostly from various Awkward Author contests. I figure, if I can't make fun of myself I have no business being on YouTube. The video itself was edited using ShotCut,… Continue reading Them There Video Blogs and Wut
Pulling Me Back In
I’ve got two big side-hustles right now. The first is writing and the second, neglected somewhat, is photography. (Even further down is film and video work – but we’ll get to that in a sec). Recently, thanks to a generous gift, I’ve gotten a Nikon Z6. And I’ve been learning how to use it from… Continue reading Pulling Me Back In
In the Heat, All Reet
August is upon the DC Metro area. For those unfamiliar with this time of year, it's when you can switch between your local weather forecast, and that of Baton Rouge, LA, and not see that much of a difference. Storms roll in with frequency and ferocity. The humidity is almost drinkable. Energy levels drop. Most,… Continue reading In the Heat, All Reet
Author, Dreamweaver, Visionary – Me?
This image, this entry title, and the dramatic music you suddenly hear playing in the background means one thing: Chuck Wendig's Awkward Author Photo Contest is coming to a close. First, congratulations to the winner for an amazing, haunting, eye-popping photo. Second, yes, you can still vote if you want to help decide who's in… Continue reading Author, Dreamweaver, Visionary – Me?
Who is this Biomechanoid?
"Who are you?" This isn't just one of the great existential questions permeating our existence. For folks who've followed me since I began this on-line venture, it's a legitimate question. "Who is this guy? What does he think he's doing? What's with the book chapters?" Although some of this is covered in the About page,… Continue reading Who is this Biomechanoid?
2015: The Year They Return
The time is now. After five long years, the Cosmonaut Alexi Leonov will return from its voyage to Jupiter. This harrowing journey across a vastly altered solar system marks the half-way point in a decade which changed us all. Er, no, wait. Wrong world. Sorry. But I can think about the future, even if it… Continue reading 2015: The Year They Return
