In my last post on writing “Recovering from Failure” I really dug into my thoughts on writing and my new-found love for it. I guess this post will be more of that but also kind of an explanation on what I have come to think of as my new phase of writing. Going back and… Continue reading On Writing – My Phases
Hunting: Meet your Meat
I recently told a new acquaintance that I spent so much time in the woods because I was out there hunting and then found myself in an all too familiar discussion explaining why I do it. In the modern world people are perplexed as to why someone would want to hunt for meat. Why someone… Continue reading Hunting: Meet your Meat
Dog spelt Backwards is God
I don’t know if that title is right, because they aren’t God’s in that they don’t demand worship or sacrifice. They don’t condemn humans to Hell and they would never demand us be subservient to them. They love us like a God would. The Christian New Testament God where he’s all forgiving and shit. That… Continue reading Dog spelt Backwards is God
AI Use in Novel Writing
I am shocked, absolutely shocked at this news that the National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization released a statement in support of using AI to write novels. For those that don’t know, this organization centers around an annual event encouraging authors to write a 50 000 word novel over the month of November. I participated… Continue reading AI Use in Novel Writing
Recovering From Failure
The title is a little dramatic, “failure” is a strong word. But I am returning to something I had given up on. This time it feels different, it feels right. It feels less dark and less tied to my self worth. I’m talking about my writing, I used to write, like a lot. I spent… Continue reading Recovering From Failure
Nothing Ever Happens
I have been hounded for the past few weeks by this feeling of impending doom. I want to just ignore it, discard it as merely a symptom of anxiety, but I can’t. I think it is tied to the fact that the weather has gone haywire and winter basically never happened. Maybe a part of… Continue reading Nothing Ever Happens
Self Hosting Video Content
I don’t like monopolies. I don’t like single points of failure. I don’t like giving corporations control. I don’t like YouTube. Those are reasons I started looking at how to host and distribute my own video content. Don’t get me wrong, YouTube is an amazing platform. Being able to upload and share virtually unlimited video… Continue reading Self Hosting Video Content
New Podcast: Boiled Frogs and Soul Killers
Just me talking to myself about some ideas of the state of despair and decay the world is in. The plans for the future. Why we are like this and of course freedom and why it is so important. Episode Here Boiled Frogs and Soul Killers Youtube Backup
Slow Progress is Still Progress
“I have let myself go,” I said out loud to an empty apartment. My wife was out, the dog was asleep and I was staring in a full length mirror at someone I no longer recognized. I used to be fit, really fit. I would run marathons, go rock climbing twice a week, paddle for… Continue reading Slow Progress is Still Progress
Voluntaryism – anarchy for all
Something I struggle to understand is why everyone needs to be told what they can and cannot do. Why everyone wants to simultaneously be told what to do and tell others what they can do. Why people feel the need to impose their will on others yet can’t even think for themselves. It sounds harsh… Continue reading Voluntaryism – anarchy for all
