Charlie Brown – The Modern Day @Nintendo Story #NX #Lunkhead

You Lunkhead, Nintendo! Nintendo, we gave you an opportunity to kick the football, and for once we weren’t going to yank the football away from you… and yet you still missed the kick and landed flat on your back. How is that even possible? How do you miss what should have been an easy field goal? Nobody was asking Nintendo for an E3 style touchdown replete with an end zone dance, just some sign that there was a solid plan for the 2016 fiscal year. We did not get the…

Better Things #CheerUp @TheKinks

I’ve been in a grumpy mood today. Now, to be fair, there were a number of mitigating factors that contributed to my current state of mind, but regardless, my state of mind is my own and I am in charge of maintaining its well being. To sit here all pissed off does myself no good, does my family no good, and frankly isn’t going to accomplish anything positive. But then what could be done about it to cheer me up? And that’s when it hit me… Here’s a little message…

Doctor Strangehair: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Male Pattern Baldness

Hair today, gone tomorrow: Fact: I have been struggling on a very personal and emotional level, for going on over a decade now. Always in a constant and bitter war, one that I have been forever destined to lose… against my hair. Born with naturally thin and flighty hair, I stood on fairly shaky ground to begin with, but somewhere in my mid twenties, my hair started to evacuate my scalp much like rats deserting a sinking ship. My hair has always been a bit of an enigma. As a…

I’m back…

I apologize for the lapse in new content. Real life, work, family, a car crashing into the rear of my own vehicle, my first ever surgery, job hunting, and other new endeavors have all played a heavy part in my decision to take a month off. The good news? What I just said above was the bad news, so it’s all good news going forward! I will be posting new content tonight as well as tomorrow and I do not anticipate any further disruptions anytime soon. I prefer writing, creating and sharing…
