Last weekend I went up to Grand Rapids Comic Con with a friend. It was fun, as usual, but during it I had probably one of the most memorable experiences I've ever had at one of these things. One of the guests was Donnie Dunagan, whose name you probably don't know, but who has the … Continue reading A Profound Experience at Comic Con
Friday Flotsam: ‘Jack the Giant Slayer’ and Going Back
1. The big exciting thing from this past week I think deserves it's own post, so I'll talk about that one later. 2. I pulled up 2013's Jack the Giant Slayer earlier this week. You know, I'm a little torn on that; on the one hand, it's silly, cheap-looking (especially in the costumes), it's depiction … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: ‘Jack the Giant Slayer’ and Going Back
Coming Soon: ‘A Gentleman Instructed’
Very excited to finally announce my next publication: a very different kind of project than any I've done before, and one that I've been working on again and off again for a year or more (I once thought it would be ready in April, which is either a testament to hope or an indictment of … Continue reading Coming Soon: ‘A Gentleman Instructed’
Poem – “Song of Saul Before His Last Battle”
Warriors and chiefs! should the shaft or the swordPierce me in leading the host of the Lord,Heed not the corse, though a king's, in your path:Bury your steel in the bosoms of Gath!

Friday Flotsam: Voting, Veterans, Video, and a Gospel Verse
1. I voted this past Tuesday. Might be the last time I do, since I reject the liberal paradigm that the practice represents and I find the whole thing to be frankly absurd anyway. Though I'll probably still vote in local elections, once I settle down somewhere, since I think those are the only ones … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: Voting, Veterans, Video, and a Gospel Verse

Thought of the Day: A Long Off-Day
Often times addicts insist, and indeed believe, that they are in fact all right. Their decision to take another drink or what have is just that; a decision. They could stop any time they wanted just by choosing something else. "I can stop any time I want, I just don't want to." Except that this … Continue reading Thought of the Day: A Long Off-Day
Poem – From ‘An Essay on Man’
Say first, of God above, or man belowWhat can we reason but from what we know?Of man, what see we but his station,From which to reason, or to which refer?Through worlds unnumbered though the God be known,'Tis ours to trace him only in our own.He who through vast immensity can pierce,See worlds on worlds compose … Continue reading Poem – From ‘An Essay on Man’
