This living room smells like dog shit, but for the life of me, I can't figure out where it is. I've combed over this room at least twice now, not even so much as a skid. I don't know, maybe one of them just farted real bad.

With The Crimson Strider finished in out in the world for everyone's reading pleasure, I find myself going back into my archive, looking at some of the other ideas I had for comics back in the mid to late 2000s, and wondering if these could also be adapted into novellas?

THE Creator of all is One God.
From this same God all creation sprang into existence, and He is the one goal, towards which everything in nature yearns…
Man is the sum of Creation, and the Perfect Man is the expression of the complete thought of the Creator—the Word of God.

That awkward moment when you see the reform party is trending, only to click it, and find out it has nothing to do with that little group Ross Perot set up in the '90s. Bummer.

Apparently, when we go out into the backyard, our 2-year-old's new favorite activity is poking random spots on the fence with a stick. It's weird... But that's toddlers for you, I guess. 🙃

That moment when you see people asking for book recommendations, you want to recommend yours... But you're pretty sure your work isn't what they're looking for. If only because labeling your book as "a love l letter to tokusatsu series" kind of makes it hard to sell to the public.

4chan cookies. They're little cookies you break open, and find a little piece of paper inside. However, instead of telling you a proverb, or attempting to predict your future, it just calls you a stupid cuck in one of several hundred different ways.

To be brutally honest, I would sooner forget this incarnation of the Titans ever existed. Good Lord what I garbage year this turned out to be. Here's hoping the 2026 season sees some improvement.

So, I've basically been up since 4:30 in the morning. Toddler woke up at 4:30, and decided sleep is for the week, and everyone else needs to be awake as well. Couple that with the fact one of the dogs went diarrhea in the hallway, and I just gave up on sleep.
It's going to be a 3 Pepsi day.

Fortune burritos. It's a burrito you snap in half, and there's a fortune inside. And because burritos are much larger, you can make the fortune more cryptic and puzzle-like as a result.

I was just about to give up on football altogether this year, but then I heard the bears beat the Packers. I'm beginning to think there might be something to this incarnation of the bears.
Of course, now that I've said that out loud, I've probably jinxed it. Just my luck. 🤷♂️

Dispute not with any one concerning the things of this world… for God hath abandoned them to such as have set their affection upon them. Out of the whole world He hath chosen for Himself the hearts of men—hearts which the hosts of revelation and of utterance can subdue.

Yeah, I've seen this before. I've really grown to loath the "git gud" crowd these days.
Someone in my chat yesterday complained a game was 'pandering to noobs' with a change they'd made and I'm like
And? They made a thing more accessible to players that was fairly irrelevant at that point anyway.
Get over yourself. You're not the only one that plays games.

The cake got absolutely destroyed, and all my wife could say was the lyrics to MacArthur's Park. 🤣
🎵 Someone left the cake in the ring.
I don't think that I can take it. Does it took so long to bake it. And will never have that recipe again! 🎵

Guys, trust the puppy-killer defending the masked man who shot an unarmed woman in the face for protesting an unaccountable secret police force tasked with deporting people with decades-old marijuana convictions on behalf of an orange pedophile who lead a failed coup.

I had a dream last night that I went to Best buy, only to see Fred Jones from Scooby-Doo and Fred Flintstone getting into a shouting match. It quickly turned into a fist fight, which then turned into Fred turning into the incredible hulk, and wailing on Freddy. I wonder what that means?

I do want to see the movie eventually... And I actually planned on reading this book a lot earlier than now, but other books I've been wanting to read got in the way.
I'm six chapters in, and I'm digging it. Definitely want to see where this goes.
