  • Survived Another.

    Survived Another.

    This morning, for the first time in months, I decided to get a bit more ‘motivated’. If you follow, then you already know where I’ve been all winter; here. Now that the annual thaw commences, I can start implementing all these crazy ideas I’ve had bouncing around in my head since before the holidays. I’ll

  • A Chilly Stroll Through Bishop Arts

    It’s my kind of Saturday living in an artsy-fartsy, tourist neighborhood; ten degrees above freezing. That means, most of the poons are in hiding; either playing Call of Duty or bitching about him playing Call of Duty. Just take the pit bull outside to take a dump, wash his car, and exhibit a few more

  • A Taste of Home by Rev. Dare Cloud, Chapter Two

    Welcome back to Twin Oaks, my friends! This was my first fiction novel published back in 2010. In the last chapter, we lost poor Ryan Weldon and a couple of ambulance jockeys to a strange beast. Now, ten hours before that event, we meet our main character, Toby Liberman and his best friend Johnny Haynes…

I stood my ground and said my piece. He/She defended his/her beliefs until he/she was red in the face (the color of his/her favorite hat), but I turned

  • Christmas Fangs? Fangs-Giving?

  • Gone, But Not.

    Gone, But Not.

    According to sources, she passed away peacefully at 2am holding the hand of her best friend. Man, what a blessing. Who could ask for anything more? I can’t imagine a better way for someone like her to go. Lisa Rosselot. Geez; this girl. It was June 24th, 1989. My fellow nerds may realize that as
