This is a blog I'll be using from time to time to share goings on in my life that I don't feel are suited for my The Mind of Game site.

Another Snippet of Something I'm Writing

Another Snippet of Something I'm Writing #CreativeWriting

“Jason…” Jessica started, an abundance of caution making her choose her words extra carefully. Like she thought some kind of monster was lying dormant inside of me. “I know how you feel.” I huffed and took a sip of my coffee. “I’m serious!” she suddenly erupted. “You keep forgetting that I lost my mom and dad too, remember?!” Her sudden outburst was enough for me to stop drinking. I set my mug…

Why Did You Run?

Why Did You Run? - A Commentary on Why People Run from the Police

As I was taking my shower one evening, my thoughts drifted to the film Captain America: Civil War, and its fantastic airport battle scene. But my attention went to one moment in particular, namely when Bucky and T’Challa were locked in conflict during the airport battle. Bucky says to T’Challa: “I didn’t kill your father!”, to which T’Challa responds: “Then why did you run?” This exchange got me…

LG V40 And Razer Kishi Impressions

LG V40 And Razer Kishi Impressions

One of the Most Underrated Portable Gaming Systems: A cheap, used Android phone and a Razer Kishi game controller. For the past few weeks, I’ve been using the combination of a cheap used Android phone (An LG V40 I found on eBay for about $140) and a Razer Kishi mobile game controller which ran me about $50 from Amazon (you can buy an Xbox branded version of the controller but it’s not worth the…

Write the Skeleton

Write the Skeleton #Writing #Writing Advice

Writing advice, like a lot of things, namely philosophical queries, story ideas, revelations on how I should tackle that next scene, ideas to flesh out my work, brief snippets of poems, you name it, all these things come to me in the shower. Here’s one of my most recent (hopefully) profound shower thoughts. Write the skeleton. You can always fill in the body, hone its musculature, precisely lay…

COVID Vaccine Misinformation: Could Y’all Stop?

COVID Vaccine Misinformation: Could Y’all Stop?

I wish people actually knew what the hell you were talking about so you’d stop spreading this vaccine misinformation. Unfortunately, as of this writing, I’m one of the people who has to rely on herd immunity because I (currently) can’t be vaccinated against COVID-19. Why? Well, I happen to be one of the exceedingly rare people who actually had a bad, allergic reaction to a flu vaccine that I…

I'm Alive: Here's a Snippet of Something I'm Working On

I'm Alive: Here's a Snippet of Something I'm Working On #Writing #Creative Writing

Her lungs burned with each breath. Her heart wouldn’t stop pounding in her chest. Her fists ached; her muscles cried out from exhaustion. But still she stood. The last line of defense against the innumerable horde. Her eyes blazed with passion and life. If this were her time, she would die as a fighting, desperately beating back the darkness with her two fists and her indominable will, no matter…

This is one of my favorite chill-out songs ever and I don't know why it's not more famous. I literally could not find a video of this to share so I had to make my own. It's called Astral by TreeLo and I could only find the mixtape on DatPiff, which is called Kush on the Keyboard 2. The whole mixtape is dope but this is probably my favorite track on the thing.

“If he ever appeared in front of you, you’d swear he was there to kill you. But he wouldn’t. He wasn’t. You know that, but you’re thinking the opposite. And all you can do is freeze while that cognitive dissonance sorts itself out.”
