• Obviously seven ideal days…

    WTF is wrong with this calendar? The ideal week obviously consists of seven ideal days. I’m getting a strange deja vu. In my adventures through the blogosphere, I seem to remember defining the concept of an ideal day before. This question seems… remarkably similar. For those who are interesting, you may find that post here.…

  • Is none a proper choice?

    But I will say this… “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” -Wayne Gretzky-Michael Scott -Aerik Arkadian

  • Do I give this answer often?

    I think I say this a lot. I frequently relax through music. That might include listening to music, playing music, recording music, arranging music, analyzing music, or just hearing the music in my head. There’s always music playing in my head.

  • Opal Luna, Fiber Magick, and The Grove – Ep. 4

    Opal Luna is the author of the book Fiber Magick and an officer of The Grove, a pagan congregation in South Florida. In this interview, we discuss her background and all things related to Fiber Magick.

  • The answer is no.

    A few years ago, I decided that I just might be denying myself too many new experiences and opportunities. You see… people around me were constantly asking me to go do things with them that I thought sounded uninteresting, seemed like a waste of time, or were just downright beyond my abilities. Want to go…

  • There’s only one scientific way to avoid this…

    My friends, a grudge is usually not a good thing. On a very short-sighted timeline, yes, they may protect you from harm, but in the grand scheme of things, they usually do more bad than good. It’s important to let go of resentment and other things that no longer serve us so that we can…

  • All over the W&OD trail…

    The Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail is a paved path between Shirlington and Purcellville, Virginia. It runs for 45 miles and apparently the whole strip is classified as a park. Most people use it for walking or biking, but there are also some sections with adjacent gravel paths for people to ride horses. There…

  • Grilling in the rain sucks… Weekly Recap 9/2/2024

    What do you do when you’ve got marinated chicken and burgers prepped and ready for the grill, and then it starts to rain right as you’re about to light the coals? You grill anyway, obviously. But grilling in the rain sucks. I think the ideal home should have some sort of retractable canopy just for…

  • An android being reunited with his pet…

    I’m reminded of a scene in Star Trek: Generations. The saucer section of the Enterprise has just crash-landed, rather violently, on the surface of a distant planet somewhere. If I recall correctly, they’re in the Viridian system, but don’t quote me because I’m not going to bother looking it up. Everything is in pretty rough…

  • I write to get better at writing…

    I write to get better at writing. Is that too meta? But seriously, writing is a skill. And just like any skill, you have to train if you want to do it more effectively. Let’s be honest… these questions are pretty stupid, but it’s a chance to put words to something that I otherwise would…

  • Yeah, I literally do that each month…

    So, just in case you aren’t aware, I do interviews every month. They’re up on YouTube to watch and I also type everything up into an article. Here’s the most recent articles: And I’ve got another article coming next week with Opal Luna. I’ve never interviewed my mother or the mailman, though. What a random…

  • Unwinding The Witches’ Reel: History, Lyrics, and Meaning

    This song can be traced back to the 16th century, when stormy seas and widespread paranoia spawned the first major persecution of witches in Scotland under the rule of King James VI. Over 100 people were arrested during The North Berwick Witch Trials. Some were killed.
