Goddam 2:30am thoughts.

I don’t often dwell on might have beens; that’s an empty road that goes nowhere. I do wonder if wishful daydreaming comes out in my writing, though.

Roads less traveled, and all that.

By promoting all the great projects, big and small, on a daily basis, I almost forget to promote my own. 😁

Over the past three years, between too many posts and social media relocations, I have gradually assembled a rather nice resource on sci-fi creation.

It's starting to look like something. ☝️

If you draw, draw. Paint. If you write, write. If you sing or play, do it.

DO IT.

Tell that voice in your head that says its not good enough to go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. CREATE. Embrace your talent for the simple joy of creation because nothing else can replace that.

Kahless tells us to breathe life into that which we love. Celebrate the things you hold dear, share them with others, and let no one stifle the breath of things you cherish.

The US Army peaked dress cap, and its Air Force counterpart.

Almost all military branches have oak leaves on the cap for senior field grade officers and generals. The USAF chose clouds and thunderbolts, derisively known as “farts and darts.”

Modern news is ludicrous. We get force fed headlines overloading our brains about people and places that thirty years ago you wouldn’t have given a damn about.

“California man accidentally amputates testicles with can opener.” Why the hell do I care?

The Democratic lawmakers said that the Trump administration “is pitting our uniformed military against American citizens. They called for service members to “refuse illegal orders” and “stand up for our laws.”

In response, Trump suggested the lawmakers should be put to death.
