The Real Reason the Half-Life Series is Still in Limbo
Gratuitous Indulgences
Contrary to rumors implying that the reason Half-Life Episode 3 is taking so long is because it’s undergoing a secret and lengthy conversion into what will eventually end up becoming Half-Life 3, I believe there are deeper reasons behind its delay.
The truth is Gordon Freeman these days has become so ensconced in his own hubris, even the mirrors crack out of disgust whenever he tries to look at a reflection of himself. Freeman’s absolutely lost sight of the initial person...

Another Obscure and Confusing Short Story Is Up
How about some tasty Earth pie?
“Drought”, a short tale about two shell-shocked soldiers making their way through the Iraqi desert after a mission gone wrong, can be found at Wattpad and Smashwords.

Girls Grabbing Guys Hats At Clubs
If you’re old, wearing this automatically makes you look ten years younger.

Sure it’s cool at first, getting a little bit of attention like that. It means she likes you right? She’s flirting with you a...

Ten Drugs for Ten Superheroes
All right, which one of you is stepped on?
Ever wonder what drugs superheroes (or comic book characters if you wanna get semantic) would likely be found taking in order to keep from dying, going off the deep end, or turning into full-fledged villains? No? Well I have. Without further ado:
The Flash – Ibuprofen
Ah the good old days… Back before I lost all feeling in my legs and the wheelchair became a permanent fixture.
Everyone thinks it would be so cool to be like The Flash. I mean it would be s...

‘My Disjointed Life’ up on Amazon.com
JUNE 8, 2012
So whaddya think?
It’s official. The original adaptation of My Disjointed Life has gone live on Amazon as an eBook… for now. I’m still in the process of querying agents to try and get something physical published.
I know it’s been a long (understatement there) hiatus but I’m gonna try and update more regularly. This whole blog needs an overhaul and now that I’ve completed my literary...
