I said that I would try my best to post every week and I have already failed at that. I was in Texas for 10 days two weeks ago and just got back from a week long trip in Chicago. I'll be in the Middle of Iowa this weekend before traveling out to Ohio ne

I dedicate this to Hegemone and her mother. I once had a discussion about whether or not true love or love at first sight actually exists. I didn't think so at first and I wrote a poem of why my mind changed. Heartbrea

Wombat posed a few questions about a year ago that I just got around to reading since I've be gone for so long. I just want to answer them and share. So obviously it's just my opinion. What is life? - Life

I found one of my modeling photos with a whip I made and a funny story I wanted to share. Not a long story, just that when shooting this, I literally stopped traffic. While walking around in a city, carrying a 13 foot whip and wearing a leather

Nope, it’s not what you think; there isn’t any BDSM in this post. I needed to find hobbies that were cheap, detail oriented and incredibly relaxing. Almost like meditative crafting. Besides the obvious one of writing, I have found two more that

Since my decision to not have phone, cable or internet at my apartment my brain has decided to entertain itself by combating my bipolar depression with my OCD. How you ask? Well now unless I want to practice something, which is never the case wh
