Values & influences

[WARNING: The post may contain spoilers.]

Everyone has influences.

That’s the way we are raised. To be influenced by our parents so that we may be good, productive members of society when we grow up. I don’t think I’ve grown up, LOL. Read more... (343 words, estimated 1:22 mins reading time)

Trust is like a chicken egg.

April 1, 2009 – 10:28 pm

In the TV show Babylon 5, the alien race referred to as the Vorlons had a saying. Understanding is like a three edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth!

Recently I had a trust issue with someone close to me. I encouraged him to read a story I had been reading. Shouldn’t be a big deal, right? The problem came up that in his own excitement, he managed to trample on the trust I had for him. He decided to gloat about his newfound relationship with the author of the story. Read more...

My Star Trek addiction, readers, and life.

So my Star Trek has finally come back.

Robin of my dreams

March 1, 2009 – 6:28 pm

Argh! Ive had two songs on my mind recently. The first is Rhythm of my Heart by Rod Stewart, and the other is Rockin Robin. I don’t know why these songs are stuck in my head, but it’s sort of frustrating. And of course Kardon, one of my IRC moderators is being strange tonight. Not sure why, but maybe he’s secretly in love with Justin or Taryin from Comicality’s Gone from Daylight. For some reason Justin has been on my mind too lately, but perhaps that’s just from Com’s quality workmanship. Read more... (269 words, estimated 1:05 mins reading time)
