There's something truly magical about fishing, and for me, it's not just about the catch. It's about escaping the noise and creating what I like to call my own "Jacques Cousteau moment." You know, that serene, almost spiritual experience where you feel completely connected to nature. My inner monologue is always a s…

A Fleeting Glimpse: Hennig vs. Eaton on Nitro '98
That Hennig vs. Eaton match on Monday Nitro in February 1998...man, it's just... weirdly perfect . A sub-three-minute snapshot of a very specific, and frankly, bizarre era of wrestling. You had Meng and Barbarian beating each other up, Sting and Luger teaming up, and Goldberg just crushing someone to kick things off. But for me, it…
The Slow Burn of Wisdom: Lessons in Haste and Caution
I've been noticing a shift lately, a quiet understanding that settles in as we age. It's the transition from reckless abandon to measured consideration. Haste becomes caution , a gradual evolution that's often painful but always necessary. I've seen it in myself, and I've seen it in others: the inevitable slowing down …

Blocking is fundamental: back to block vs the block button
Blocking is fundamental in fighting games, and I've been thinking a lot about the difference between "back to block" and using a dedicated block button. I'm just going to lay it out here and assume there may be an argument against the truth: pressing back to block feels inherently more natural in fighting games. It'…

Raven in ECW: Squeaky Desk promo
Okay, let me tell you about a wrestling promo that's stuck with me for years. It's Raven ( Scott Levy ) in ECW, doing his " Brooding weirdo with a cool jacket " thing, and it's a masterclass in character work, if you ask me. So, picture this: Raven, ultra cool, brooding, almost gothic character, sits at an old, very uncom…

Finalizing my Thoughts on the Vacant Care Album
Alright, let's talk about this album once more, shall we? Of course we shall , because It's more than just an album to me; it's a raw expression of frustrations and convictions I've been wrestling with my entire life. It's also my blog, and I'm callin' the shots 'round these parts! Instead of talking about e…

Were the SNES Mortal Kombat Fatalities secretly better than the Arcade?
Gaming in the years where politicians gave game devs swirlies, and forced them to change stuff for their most anticipated home ports. I think this is gonna be the 3rd or so time I post this article online. First, it was on a static site I kinda wish I kept a backup of. Then, it was on another blog that's currently private for reasons…

The most valuable lesson I learned from playing video games
I'd be lying if I said I could remember the first video game I played . It was probably on the Atari 2600. It may have been Atlantis ...or Asteroids ...Or Star Master . The game itself doesn't matter, it's more about the overall activity being engaging enough to grab my attention, and never letting go . There's a lot of crap …

Google search is dead, and it's time to stop lying about it
There's no way this post will be considered a hot take. People who add reddit to each search query should understand why I think Google is done for. I've come to the conclusion that dragging the lifeless body of an internet search engine in the direction of doing what it's been known to do in the past, is nothing but a coping …

Vacant Care tracklist and a push for the perfect album length
I was never a fan of long albums . They always wind up having a lot of filler, and you can tell when the artist runs out of ideas and just starts to pad out the remainder of their project. Of course, that mostly happens when the focus is on a vocal heavy format. That's what Vacant Care is with it's 8 rap songs and 2 instrumentals . …

We are now in the Expensive Sneaker Era, I think
The US President is enacting all sorts of things that don't at all line up with the caring for legalities of any sort. Kendrick Lamar went to the Super Bowl, and gave a performance that was loaded with subliminals what would surely piss off the the Budweiser flip floppers if they stopped huffing politician farts , thinking it will drop…
Thoughts on Vacant Care: One Thing
Talk is cheap. I've heard a lot from people who can't spare the bullshit to make a change in their lives. If you want me to pay attention, try making sense. Got to use some wordplay during the recording for this one. Had a little fun with it, ngl. 😏 Read up on the creation process for this album via the official webpage . You can al…

Try, Try Again: Digging Into The Vacant Care Sub-Plot
I scrapped a song early in the process of writing Vacant Care . When I say early, I'm talking the stage where I recorded example flows and random bars to gauge my own interest in making an album around a certain subject. I didn't write much down in this phase . It was all about the feel and atmosphere around these ideas. This was go…
The case for not having/wanting to fit in: Daniel Dumile(MF DOOM)
MF DOOM 's catalog, whether he receives praise for it or not, is the main reason I don't stress over hip hop's culture politics, or having low visibility as an indie artist with no affiliations. The foundation of art is to create in spite of fanfare or critical acclaim . Those things are merely trinkets who's value is neglig…

Quenching your thirst via the potion of doing.
If I could bottle ambition , the recipe would have to include an adventurer's spirit . 🍶 There is simply no way to accomplish anything when curiosity is lacking. You must have a want for finding and doing new things . That's the core of what ambition is all about. This isn't a flame that can be doused by one single failure. The …

Thoughts on Vacant Care: Heavy
The doers have a natural disdain toward the tryers. One group is determined to advance, while the other is set to squander their time in favor of playing around. Read up on the creation process for this album via the official webpage . You can also find more music on my ko-fi shop page .

Thoughts on Vacant Care: idc
Part two of the Vacant Care analysis series features a wrestling bar, some slick wordplay(on and off record) and a few thinly veiled threats. Not threats of violence...At least, it wasn't meant that way . These are threats of giving some valuable wisdom for free, knowing damn well I'm supposed to monetize EVERYTHING even if there&#…

Thoughts on Vacant Care: Action
Breaking down the meaning of certain quotables on Vacant Care . Action being the first track on the album, I felt the need to tackle some of the main plot points that inspired me work on this project. Can't control people, but I can damn sure draw a line in the sand just so there's no confusion on just how disappointed I am at their…

Maintenance of the Mind: Creating a Peaceful Lane in a Distracted World
If there was a way to just uproot everything, and jump to a big empty room like the one present in the Matrix, where the tv and chairs are, I would have gone ahead and made that leap years ago. There's nothing I enjoy more than my own sanity, and sometimes it's threatened by over-stimulation and noise pollution. This i…
