Fat Ninja

In my daily shunting through the tubes of the intrawebs, I came across this trailer for Aaron Russo’s upcoming documentary, American: Freedom to Facism. What initially started as Russo’s quest to find a law that requires working Americans to pay income tax quickly snow-balled into a terrifying look at where we, as a nation, might […]

Anyone who knows me is well aware of my borderline obsession with feudal Japan. I am deeply enamored of Bushido and its ideals. The notions of personal and social responsibility and the self-sacrfice that accompanies them are near myths in our modern world of convenience and wealth. And while the last days of the Samurai […]

What follows here is probably the most personal piece I’ve posted on the site to date. I don’t know what prompted this particular piece. I think it was a writing assignment I had pulled out of one of my old creative writing handbooks. I think the goal of the assignment was to have us explain […]

I’ll preface this by telling you that the following poem is perhaps the bleakest piece I’ve ever written. I wrote it back in 2002. It was a very different time for me then. I was still coming to terms with my roles as a father and husband and struggling to reconcile them with my former […]

The last console war got pretty ugly 
Welcome to the beginnings of the Second Console War where, once more, lines have been drawn in the sand as two Goliaths and a David slug it out for our hard-earned Dollar (Euro, Yen, what have you). Each morning I walk the frontlines of this console war, as I peruse […]
