Hugin
At the conclusion of Supper Club tonight, I convinced Willy and Jay to throw around a frisbee so I could play with a freeware program known as Hugin. This program will stitch several images together for you to make a panorama. What lies below isn’t great art, but I think… Read More »Hugin
Setting the Record Straight
After having a recent discussion with a friend, I have become more diligent in exposing the lies that people tell about history. The lies that they were taught in their schools because we do not have an educational system, but we have a conditioning system. Lies that people will inevitably… Read More »Setting the Record Straight
Marks
I think whenever a person has had a job it leaves a small indelible mark on them. It pops up in different ways. When I was in high school I used to bean walk. To this day when I drive past bean fields I can’t help but scan them to… Read More »Marks

Minutia – Chapter 8: False Sense of Entitlement
Chapter 8: False Sense of Entitlement Friday Night Supper Club has been in existence for over a year now. Since its existence, there have been three members.

Minutia – Chapter 7: Lust for Life
WARNING!! This following chapter is on the cusp of being stream of consciousness writing. Not really, but it is as close as I allow myself to come to such a thing. It is not my favorite type of writing and I understand that sometimes it can be difficult to read.… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 7: Lust for Life

Minutia – Chapter 6: An Adequate Birthday
Chapter 6: An Adequate Birthday I woke up on a Friday morning. It had been 32 years since I was born. If I know the story correctly, my parents had to leave the Hillbilly Auction for my birth. That sentence didn’t sound correct. Let me try again. If I know… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 6: An Adequate Birthday

Chapter 3: Tenderloining It!
Chapter 3: Tenderloining It! Tenderloining it! I’m sure if you were to rush to your dictionary you would fail to find the term “tenderloining” anywhere within its pages.

Minutia – Chapter 2: Beans
Chapter 2: Beans I do not get many e-mails at work. The ones I get are either related to a phone system failure that doesn’t affect me, the aisle copier being broken, new orders, or loaner requests. If I get a personal e-mail it is usually a link to read… Read More »Minutia – Chapter 2: Beans
