Eh.... It's a fun read for sure! I wouldn't call it a piece of art yet, but it's good reading. Jade and Rose are very fun characters to read, even though where I am at in Act 3, she has not really been developed outside of the dream sequences. Rose Lalonde is an eccentric character so far, bizarre in a good way, so she's my favorite. Her exquisite vocabulary and way of describing things is also th... » Continue Reading
I love being a catechumen and learning about Church theology! I love learning about the Orthodox Church and the lives of saints. I love reading about Jesus, and the New Testament. I love reading what the Saints have to say about these verses! I love smelling the incense, the icons. I love singing with the Divine Liturgy! I love being in the one true Church, where God is working his fullest! I love... » Continue Reading
Punk is not dead! You're a punk for believing in something like Christianity. What the old punks sung and wore has become the norm. Socialist rhetoric has been rebranded into Democrat, autocratic corporate slop. What the punks fought for, they didn't win, it was repackaged into something that's easily brandable. It's corporate, now. Punk, in the sense of what we think -- the battle jacket, communi... » Continue Reading
I appreciate the arts. Music, photography, drawings, art, movies, etc... it is the embodiment of the human spirit. It is human nature to want to make. We want to draw, paint, write, sing, etc. It's intrinsic human nature. We've been doing it since pre-history. What motivates a man into drawing? What motivates a man into writing? What motivates a woman to sing? The soul. We are all born with a soul... » Continue Reading
On YouTube On Spotify It's been quite a bit since I've done one these. I will probably just do these whenever I feel like. Anyways! Today's song is "The First Vietnamese War" by the Black Angels. The song starts off quite strong. The song begins off with muted guitar strums sounding like a guitar. Then, you can hear » Continue Reading
"...he didn't want the Gate. He was tryin' to rescue his people... THIS IS YOUR FAULT, GODDAMN IT! " As soon as I landed off that helicopter, this mission was already over. We were pokin' a dead dog, man... A dead dog. We shoulda never came here. » Continue Reading
"This is Captain Martin Walker, requesting immediate evacuation of Dubai. Survivors... one too many..." My squad came here for a simple mission. Simple mission, we thought. To check those stuck in a desert asylum, when we may have already » Continue Reading
" This is Colonel John Konrad, United States Army. Attempted evacuation of Dubai ended in complete failure. Death toll... too many..." I sit here in shame. A wall surrounds my deepest thoughts, as it does my mission. I make my morning coffee to see a city in chaos. » Continue Reading
Online, Orthodoxy has grown! Okay, so this is good. It's good that the Holy and Righteous Church is expanding online. But, it also gets into the hands of the wrong people. People will listen to wolves in the hide of a sheep like, say, Brother Nathanel. He's an 'Orthodox' monk who posts online about Jews, and how the Jews control the World, or whatever. He spreads hate on his platform. Then, you ha... » Continue Reading
"The earth rejoices and the heavens are glad, O venerable Saints of America, praising your labors and lives, your spiritual fortitude and purity of heart. By driving away a multitude of demons and enlightening many people with the light of the Orthodox Faith you have confirmed our land. Rejoice, O mountains of Pennsylvania, Leap for joy, O waters of the Great Lakes, Ris » Continue Reading
I sit here, remembering what I've done. My throne, my chair. I look at the medals I have ordained on my rotting desk. I am taken back to the place I never want to go back to. A old Polaroid, Iraq, Two-Thousand and Four. Fallujah. Two men, one of them me, in a vest and helmet. Desert Camouflage. The other man, the same way. Mixed camo. We were positioned on a building near a road. » Continue Reading
I know about the Rodney King riots of 1991. Sure, maybe justified, but the beating of a random trucker almost to death, destruction of thousands of dollars of property, and in turn, ruining community relations between one people and another (Koreans and African-Americans) wasn't really worth it in the long run. I don't think the ICE riots are worth it. It's terrible what the current administration... » Continue Reading
