    Can discipline be a trap?  Absolutely.  I myself have fallen victim to stale, tired routines.  But the core of discipline—the ability to turn down instant gratification and give genuine consideration to uncomfortable possibilities—is ESSENTIAL.  The traps of the world are baited with hollow pleasures and packaged, lazy thinking.   The discipline to see past those glitteringly…

    Santa-Con.  I’m walking down the street, minding my own business, when a bunch of oafish drunks deliberately shoulder me and laugh in my face, spraying my eyes with spittle and beer.  I clench my teeth and open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  Santa Claus appears beside me, whipping a pair of nunchucks through the…

    It was once condescendingly implied to me that because of my unusual work history (I’ve never really worked a “regular” job), that I wouldn’t be writing if I had to face the pressures of a 9-5 job.  My answer to that is:  Maybe.  Anything’s possible.  But I’m inclined to disagree.  First off, many artists’ greatest works…

    People ask me what I want to happen/think of when I die.  I used to care about the whole “am I satisfied with my life or not” stuff.  Not so much anymore.  Regardless of what I’m thinking at that moment, I want to die with a huge, cheese-eating grin on my face.   I want…

    Company outing at a go-kart rink.  The boss and four of his sniveling cohorts are ganging up on the rest of us, driving in formation and slamming people against the wall.  “OH!” My boss shouts as he sends a worker spinning, “THAT’S for calling in sick last week!”  Now they’re closing in on me.  “You’re next,…
