Ad Infinitum

…that ends well enough. I apologize for the mood of my last entry, but it’s still an outlook I deal with every day. Let’s move on to happy thoughts? As always, I’ll try to be chronological.   My father jumped right back into work, as he insisted he would for all these years. “If I [...]

Well, this is difficult to write. By now, you’ll probably have noticed that I made my previous entries public a few weeks ago. I was going to do the same with this and the following entries, but I had to go through and re-write everything a few times. It’s difficult to get everything in one [...]

Not a year goes by that I don’t say this: October feels like a goalpost month, with Garrett’s birthday on one end and Halloween on the other, with little to nothing in between worth mentioning or thinking about. It’s an incorrect statement, of course, but I will forever equate his birthday to dunking one’s head [...]

Last year, the convenience of having Brent, Clenshaw, Jauregui, and Cody around all at once meant an inevitable D&D campaign. I spoke of a follow-up campaign for this year, continuing the loose-story of their character party, but it was sadly not to be. With Clenshaw gone before Cody touched down from nipply Germany, and Jauregui’s [...]

Austin’s friend (and my friend too!) Dillon came out for two weeks in July, one of which overlapped the festivities of Valcon 2011. I did not get to see him too much because of this, but I am overjoyed that we got to spend a bit of time together after all of my internet friends [...]

July has become a time for both hellos and goodbyes. We’ve made sure of this, crafting the penultimate annual get-together known simply as Valcon. For me, it is a time of reflection, and an overwhelming amount of data to parse in retrospect. So many memories, both good and bad, and no where to start but [...]

This year’s Valikorlia-themed get together felt as one long day, uninterrupted with its fun and its tolls; it isn’t until now, a week later, that I feel I have enough stamina recovered to turn my eyes to what comes next in my life. Nearly all of what I speak was captured on camera, something you [...]

There can be only one thing to talk about when I look back on this month, whether it’s now, in 2012, or for years to come. On June 16 at roughly 4:00 PM, my Grandfather died of a major heart-attack. He had no real health ailments up until that point, which made the all too [...]

If you are reading this, then the world did not end on the 21st of May. It also means the world did not end on the 21st of October, as I wont be publishing these entries until December, so kudos on living through two near-Armageddons. The willful ignorance of the religious never ceases to amaze [...]

The problem with considering my annual trek to Ontario as the definitive March event is that I end up perceiving the rest of the month as this endless period that drags on and on. I do the same thing with October, perhaps, with Garrett’s birthday at the beginning and Halloween at the end, taking little [...]
