The Harbinger

That’s right, I was in a commercial. I was contacted by Intersil, a semiconductor company who had the idea of doing a “Tastes Great/Less Filling” commercial with beauty queens arguing about the power vs. the size of an Analoger chip. I was Miss Klingon Empire. Apparently, the director did an internet search and found me […]

Forgiveness is a very complex human state. It’s not really something that can be taught, but rather must be felt by an individual. No one can force you to do it. How many times have you seen someone say they forgive something, but they keep bringing it up over and over, showing that they still […]

One fine Saturday with nothing much to do, a couple friends called and wanted to hang out. It was cool because we hadn’t really had much chance to hang outside of a party environment and I was eager to get to know them better. They brought a couple of movies to watch, which rocked because […]

You came into the world
And our eyes opened together.
Born and reborn.
Forever windows observing
Wonder and beauty.
Peals of laughter
Cavorted merrily with
Sprites of purpose,
Twining festive ribbons around life
As we learned and grew.
Side by side we stood
Against the world.
And each other.
Hands clasped through battles,
Love and life made stronger.
And now you’re gone.
Here but not.
Past and future echoing painfully
In the broken […]

Death. It’s everywhere. I mean it’s ALWAYS everywhere, but not usually so prevalent in my little sphere of KC world. I guess the cosmos has decided I need to spend some time reflecting on it. They asked for it!
Some people close their eyes and pretend they don’t see death. Some people spend tons of money […]

Watch TV, read a book, go to the movies or go shopping…gay is the IN thing. Gay marriages are the topic of the day; the cool kids on TV are gay… Basically, it’s hip to be gay. Is there anything wrong with that? On a personal level, I don’t really care which way someone’s sexuality […]

’T’was the night of QI’lop tlhIngan wo’muv and all through our Hall
Sat warriors with mates and children, grown and small.
Sacred bat’leths were shined, many candles were lit
In hopes that we honored Kahless as was properly fit.
The bloodwine was Juriss and the stories were great
Though to one there was no other to equate.
’Twas told by the […]

So many people pursue it, with the plastic surgery and youthful clothes, sporty cars or motorcycles, creams, exercise and any method possible to halt that fiend, age. The fountain of youth industry is booming with people in denial of their mortality, particularly since a large portion of our population is nearing retirement age. Hell, I’m […]

Sex. Three letters. A very small word that means more than most. It can be a verb, a noun, an adjective. It can lead to the miracle of life or the tragedy of death. It can start marriages and end them. Wars have been fought over sex. It can celebrate love or be the ultimate […]

Pale face, vacant stare, shifting, jerky gait, covered in the debris of the day. This is being a zombie. I am a costumer and attend many conventions where I dress up as all types of different characters. What is the appeal of dressing in a costume? For some, it’s done in celebration of a holiday […]
