    Bow down to our AI masters!

    Okay, let’s get real for a minute. AI is everywhere, and it’s not going away. Some days, it feels like it’s taking over the world, and other days, it’s just a helpful tool that makes my life a little easier.  I mean, who hasn’t had a full-on conversation with their smart speaker or used AI…

    Deep Thoughts

    I’m struggling to come up with ideas for what to write. Should I focus on current events, even though they confuse me, or should I turn inward and write about my mental health? Maybe the two are connected in some way. I think I’ll start with my mental health. First and foremost, I want to…

    Let’s talk about LOVE.

    I want to talk about love. What is it and why does it matter? I’ll start with what it is. Love—a word that expresses our deepest feelings, a range of emotions that defy time and space. It’s both a puzzle and a universal reality, part of the essence of our being. I liked this definition.…

    Blogging ain’t easy!!

    I have been struggling to write this blog post for days, but I always got sidetracked or ran out of time. That was nearly the case today. I was planning to sleep early and then I realized that I could write this blog post. Now I just need to recall what I wanted to say.…

    The State of things.

    There is a lot going on in the world right now. The genocide in Palestine. The war in the Ukraine. Donald Trump’s 34 criminal convictions (Yaaaay). So, what’s up with me? In the previous post I shared my difficulties with obtaining my passport. I have finally managed to locate my birth certificate and renew my…

    A pain in my…

    I began the process of getting my passport this week. I went to Service Canada and they gave me a list of what I need to do. 1. Fill out application. 2. Get passport photos done at Shoppers Drug Mart. 3. Have a guarantor sign my application and one photo. Then I bring everything back…

    Geekdom

    Many people who know me are aware that I am a nerd, geek, pop culture enthusiast. But I don’t think they know precisely what I love. This post will be about the various things that interest me. This is just about all the my geeky loves. I may have missed something, but this covers most…

  • Asking for it…

    Sorry for the delay in posting, I had a lot of things to do. I’m back now and will try to post more often. Here’s what I want to talk about. This is hard for me to say as I feel guilty for asking. A little over a week ago, my wife started a go…

  • Another Day, Another Year.

    Tomorrow is my birthday; in fact, it is my 60th birthday. While I am grateful for another year of life, I am also dreaded it. My mind feels younger than my body, which is old. I have type 2 diabetes, joint pain and stage 4 kidney cancer. I feel old because of that. I know…

  • The mess that is my life.

    The title of this blog may be confusing. I am not referring to my life in general, but how cluttered my office and other areas that I frequent are. Clutter can be overwhelming and can cause stress and anxiety. It can be difficult to focus and be productive when surrounded by clutter. I often feel…

  • The thing is…

    This is my fourth attempt at writing this blog post because I am not sure what to say. The problem is that writing a blog post is not easy to do. I have many potential subjects, but I don’t know if my small audience would care about them. I want my followers to stay engaged.…

  • Things I have done lately.

    My mind is still active late at night. So, I try to deal with it. I have been working on some personal projects. One of them is this website. Another is learning how to use Microsoft Excel. I know the basics, but I want to learn more advanced features of the software. I also want…

    Another New York Comic Post

    You know from my posts that I’m going to the New York Comic Expo. My son and his girlfriend are covering the flight, the hotel and the Con tickets. Do you think I should start a Go Fund Me? I hope this doesn’t seem greedy asking for money, but I’m too old for a “Make…

  • Comic Store Customer Service

    My son Ryan, his girlfriend Allison and I went on a tour of comic stores in Edmonton. We visited several stores and evaluated them. Many of them had poor customer service. The ones that stood out with good customer service were “We Have Issues” and “Comic Fever”. “Sanctum Comics” was decent too. Some of the…

  • Comic Con

    I can’t go to the Calgary Comic Expo this weekend, because it’s too expensive and I’m saving money. Some of my friends are going. When I go to a comic con, I like to meet the artist community. I’m into comics and I want to meet comic creators, like pencillers, inkers and writers. I have…
