25 years wasted
What does it mean to exist? Can anyone tell me how we got here or what it means that we are here? I ask people these questions and I either get blank looks or someone tells me about science or God. Never those two together. What if the true span of existence is vast and chaotic and this tiny corner we inhabit was given structure for us? Think about it, the universe has structure. Everything...

Nightmare Notes
We were in a strange industrialized area, where nuclear power plants and apartment complexes were right next to each other. There was a huge tank driving down the street and our female engineer friend (?) somehow shorted out some generators on the nuclear power plant to cause an EMP and disable the tank. No people got out of it. (automated?)
We made our way into the large brick apartment...
Who is Satan? Part 1
To Rachel
My love…thinking of you fills my heart with such joy! Such reckless, abundant happiness! How blessed I am, to love such an angel as you! So eternally favored by fate, to bask in the radiance of your sweet affections. Great poets have sung in praise of beauty unmeasured, and of wild untamed passions, but all these bright things are drab when compared to you. Your smile shines so brightly,...
Jesus the Navigator
Darkness. That indefinite substance of mystery and fear, unexplained shadows lingering on the periphery of your vision. We are but fleeting forms blocking out the light of day and spoiling the Earth with our darkness. That stain of misdeeds and tragedies, a stark reminder that our mistakes and sins are passed on to our progeny and descendants.
The absence of light. Nothing, never, chaos, a void...

World Building
So a few friends and I have been working on a game world. We don’t have a platform in mind, nor do we have a working engine yet. What we do have are ideas. Story, characters, mechanics, history and setting.
Throughout this process I have learned a lot about the creation of a world. The task is an amazingly complex one, and the most important thing to remember is that you only need to...

Quick bed-time poem
TV entertains itself as sleepy heads rest on cloudy dreams the night air seems peaceful and still outside the shuttered window yesterday seems so far away as we drift into tomorrow There is nothing more beautiful than seeing your face as the first rays of sunlight dance in your eyes Ours is love eternal

CH 1: The Hunter
It was a routine patrol. Reports had come in of roving bands of renegade Furlbogs, harassing travelers and demanding a tax to use the road from Darnassus to Dolanaar. Raene had been dispatched as much to quell the whining of the townsfolk as to actually confront the Furlbog. Dagri whined and pawed at the earth, taking a few steps off the path then looking back. This was unusual behavior. Normally...
Spider Epidemic?
Recently I have noticed a huge growth in the number of spiders both at home and at work so I wondered why this may be. Apparently spiders and insects in general thrive in warm wet climates, and this summer has been pretty wet so far. One expert had this to say:
“Virtually any insect would do well under these kinds of conditions,” said Deborah Waller, an associate professor at Old...
Camping Crypts and Sieging Dungeons
So I have been playing a lot of Dungeon Siege 2 lately, and I must say that I really enjoy getting back to the basics. There is something satisfying about facing down hordes of monsters. A certain pleasure to be found in spilling digital blood in a fantasy realm where even I can be a hero. The developers even went so far as giving everyone voices. I do mean EVERYONE! Every NPC has their own...

Final Fantasy 7
I know it is old. But man is this a great game!
My reawakened love for this game comes on the crest of Sony’s downloadable games wave. I have owned a PSP since I went to Bahrain in 2007 on board the USS Enterprise. The PSP’s video and game capabilities were perfect when I was on cruise and had nothing to do to entertain myself. However, when I returned to the States I put the...
The beginning
Hello, My name is Jake but you can call me Loki if you like. I have been toying with the idea of starting a page here for a while, simply because I need a place to talk about the things that bother or excite me. I am in my twenties now, and have been out of the Navy for a year. I am engaged to a wonderful woman and am looking forward to closing on my first home soon.
All of that background...
