  • Back in the 80’s, when we relied on BBS’s and CompuServe, and had 300 baud modem

    Back in the 80’s, when we relied on BBS’s and CompuServe, and had 300 baud modems, I ran a bulletin board ostensibly operated by a group of Friars in a distant monastery who were interested in video games. I posted pages profiling each personality with background narrative on the wall, so that I could try to write from each character’s perspective. I wrote about every major release back then – something that’s been impossible since the late 90’s. Eventually I had to cut down to just one character because it was just too strenuous to step into each character’s shoes for different reviews. I’d just been divorced, was ‘recovering’, and it provided a creative outlet. I haven’t played a computer game (that I can recall) since I moved to Ukraine. No time. And no interest. The Big Game is afoot and we are all pieces on the board.

  • If you love a woman very much, and you miss her every day, and have been away fr

    If you love a woman very much, and you miss her every day, and have been away from her for an entire year, it is both the most wonderful feeling of certainty in that love you feel, as well as the most painful feeling of moments lost – opportunities passed. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I have found it very difficult to find women to respect, just as many women have found it difficult to find men to respect. It is much easier to find women to respect among the middle classes, and among the catholics and orthodox, than it is among all the remaining peoples – protestant included. You must find one smart enough that she finds you interesting – she can learn from you. Limited in craziness so that you can reach her in her feminine spirals. You must find one beautiful enough that you feel lucky. And if you are an alpha, one that is strong enough to stand up to you. These traits apply to both genders reciprocally. I have been lucky in life in that these women have found me. I have not found them. I am just me.

    ( My mother is amazing. She’s 80 years old, got her training in alcohol, drug, and dependency counseling decades ago, and she still spends literally hours a day helping a network of women. It’s basically a part time job. The women in my family – at least on the french side, are absolutely amazing. )
