Doomsday Diary
Pandemic 2025: The After Math No racism, No sexism, No agism. No isms at all, but yet, to keep in line with American values, EVERYONE has to be free, but keep in mind the phrase is "ESSENTIALLY FREE". How? Infrastructure is what we all came to call it. It was quite amazing. For everyone to be free or "essentially free", we the people decided to give up the ONE thing that we had been flirting with as a nation for generations. Our Privacy! Privacy is completely GONE.

The Movie is Real!
The rain is relentless, pounding with angry fists on the roof and slashing demandingly on the windows of the old house, ruined and shabby. How it is still standing, no one knew, but with its rusty red and green door and roof and sides patched up from constant repair, one would have thought it would have collapsed long ago. Maybe, it is held up with the astounding willpower from the three beings inside it who depended on it for life and death.

The Last Watcher
Beyond the garbage hugging the gutters and preventing water from entering the storm drains, and the telephone poles plastered with flyers in various states of disintegration, there stood an imposing concrete structure bridging the wide deserted city street. At the base of the cracked footing there was a small forgotten shrine where thin stubs of candles had long since burnt out and flower petals, once fresh with dew, had withered and blown away with the wind. One forlorn teddy bear with a stained and frayed bow guarded the once lovingly tended child's memorial. Signs from a world before the big bang.

A Cut from the Past
I used to say flying cars was the answer to everything. What would make me happiest, when leaving this earth, is knowing that living being that requires clean oxogen to survive has that and more. Also having the ability to travel to anywhere in the universe without a single molecule of pollution would be cool too. The ingredients to do just that have been sitting right under everyone’s feet since the very first fire smoldered out. Ceramics, aka heated dirt, can bind carbon molecules together in such a way to build crafts of any size or shape. Carbon molecules can store electrons, aka electricity. What if removing the need for electric lines and redefining the past is exactly what we need to help propel a sustainable future for all? My Fiskers helped me figure this out, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

The Last Void Song and the Evolution of Interactive Entertainment
Where to begin with this project?! I suppose with the name? The Last Void-Song is a series of novels set in a not so distant future about a young man who is thrust into a universe of horror and magic and sci fi beyond his wildest dreams, the books are about the responsibilities of leadership, of fatherhood. It’s about the corrupting influence of power and the horrors of isolation, the ruin of hate and sorrow upon the soul but more than anything else, The Last Void-Song is about humanity. It’s about who we might be in our darkest moments, when we have nothing else but each other and the need to survive, to keep on going despite unimaginable hardship. In a way, The Last Void-Song has been my confession. It’s my measure of how far I’ve come from a time where I did not think I would get very far at all. The shining worlds and fathomless depths of the Void-Song universe allowed me to escape the troubles and torments of my life and my dwindling mental health and just be somewhere else for a time. Which, maybe explains why it’s about 13 multiverses wide at this stage. (I always go big)

One Day at a Time, Gemini
Geminis are expressive and represent two different personalities in one. Maybe that's why some of the best actors in the world are Geminis? I share my birthday, June 9th, with two iconic actors- Natalie Portman and Johnny Depp and I'm an actor myself (although placing myself next to these two probably sounds a bit sad, well, you get the point.) We're curious and affectionate. We go from an emotional wreck to a self-made hero within 6 minutes. We need excitement and fight fiercely for what makes us feel passionate.

Gemini: It Takes Two
Welcome, Gemini! I've been expecting you. Your curiosity got the better of you again, didn’t it? That’s totally fine! It’s one of the many things, and there are indeed many, that makes you, well, you. These different sides of you may come across in a way that screams “Two-Faced,” but if people knew the story of your zodiac symbol, they’d understand. It’s not your fault that the twins (Pollux and Castor) have two different dads, or that Castor was mortal and Pollux was immortal, you’re just along for the ride. So, fasten your seatbelt, my dear, sweet Gemini, because many positives are in store for you today, but there will also be some occurrences that will negatively impact you, so you need to be careful! With your intellect and adaptability though, there is no doubt that you will overcome these obstacles and come out stronger because of them.

How far are we from creating lightsabers?
Almost every one of us will agree that lightsabers are awesome. But, we haven't seen even a single thing that's got close to lightsabers. The closest thing we have to lightsabers are lasers. But, lasers simply don't give the look and feel of lightsabers. We cannot see the laser beams and can't contain them to a specific length, either. So, how far are we from creating real lightsabers?

And I watched the sun set, and smiled.
There are few things more beautiful than the slow unfurling of nature across urban areas as it gently reclaims what we borrowed. These stones were only ever on loan; these iron railings, these glassy facades, these pillars of steel; they were never ours, not really. And here she comes, with weary inevitability, to take it all back.
