Absent, but for a good reason
Apologies for the long absence. I assure you, it’s for many good reasons, one of which being working for the holidays. If you hadn’t noticed, it’s expensive to live, and my meager 80% disability rating from the VA hasn’t been cutting it in terms of merely existing (that is, I use that money to pay Continue reading

Dear Leader to Meet with Presidents of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and Virgin Islands
In a move to prevent future American football half-time shows from having to endure Spanish-speaking performers, Leader Trump has taken to the skies to make a four-stop trip and meet with leaders of several territories. “I think the presidents of these countries – and I know about presidents. No one knows more about presidents than Continue reading

A Violent End to a Vitriolic Mouthpiece
Back in June, two Minnesota legislators were assassinated in their homes (State Reps Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark) and two more were brutally injured. Here was Dear Leader Trump’s response: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-call-walz-after-minnesota-shootings-calls-grossly/story?id=122870353 Instead of showing any sort of sympathy for the loss of life, he made fun of Tim Walz and called him a whacko.

Fun With “The Bible” Part I
I’m thinking of making a regular segment in my blog that revolves around the hypocrisy of the Bible and those who claim to follow it. If you think about it, Christians and other religious parishioners, are about the most biblically corrupt bunch to ever walk this earth. I grew up in a Lutheran household. Lutheranism Continue reading

I Hate This Timeline
There’s a lot of shit going down in the world that have accumulated in the last few weeks, and it takes a heavy toll on my sanity and the well-being of the people involved. Israel and Iran seem to be in full-on World War III mode, launching ballistic missile attacks at each other like it’s Continue reading

I Dare Someone – Nay, I DEFY Someone – to Hire Me
I’ve been on the hunt for a job for a while now. As is the requirement when socializing, people always ask, “So, what do you do?” And as someone who hasn’t had a steady job for a couple years now (my last job was working 12 hour shifts for a company that manufactures ceramic components Continue reading

Entire Signal Chat Group Stricken With Sudden Dementia
Last week, it came to light that “war plans” were shared between high-level Executive Branch members in a Signal app chat while Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic newspaper were present. Among the members present in this unsecured chat space were, but not limited to, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, the Secretary of Defense, Pete Continue reading

A Labor of Love
As an author/writer, I’ve discovered I have the ability to look beyond the surface of a medium and really understand what another writer was thinking with their thought process (I should say, I have this ability to a degree – sometimes a medium is so poorly written that scholars can’t even figure out what the Continue reading

I’m Tired, Boss…
I’ve been wanting a way to get back to my website with all that’s been going on. I’ve been incredibly busy with broken down vehicles and trying to sell our house so we can find our “forever home.” I was hoping that a second Trump term would be a good catalyst for creative writing, because Continue reading

Blah, blah, blah #193
It’s been a rough week. The wife and I are trying to sell our house (and purchase a new one) before the incoming administration fucks our country’s economic situation into the dirt. The interest rates aren’t terrible, and I have a VA loan, so it’s a decent time to offload the current home. We’re on Continue reading
About Me
Armed Forces Veteran. Writer. Father of several demon-child rescue animals. Milwaukee Brewers fan. Loather of the human condition.
I was born and raised in the wintry lands of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, West Bend, Oconomowoc), but spent 15 years in the service of the United States Air Force, deploying and living in many other regions of the country and world.
The first time someone told me I was a “hell of a writer” was when I was a young Senior Airman in the Air Force and got in trouble for writing a blog on MySpace about the “miserable people of the ### Squadron. I wrote it like a late night infomercial with testimonials that ranged from hilarious to disgusting. I was very nearly demoted for the work and forced to remove it from the site.
After that, I started writing satire news articles like one might find on The Onion. I typed them out and distributed them to coworkers like a weekly newsletter. Some of those articles are posted here.
Eventually, I moved from satire to Science Fiction and Fantasy, and have written four [as of yet unpublished] books in what I hope to be a long-standing series inspired heavily by Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” saga.
I currently live in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
