Nate got real.
If you weren’t aware, I was officially “hired” by Gaming Horizon as a staff writer. As I train for the post and begin contributing, updates here might be few and far between.
Never fear; as I adjust to having an official literary workload (complete with deadlines), I’ll be back here, with any luck, with more volume.
Until […]

Nate Attempts to “Get Real”
A friend of mine noticed that a gaming website, Gaming Horizon, was putting out a “help wanted ad” for staff writers. He wheedled and cajoled me into submitting for an online application.
For your enjoyment, and to prove I made a valiant effort, here’s my submission to GH’s questionnaire. Questions from GH bolded by me.

I remember when regular was a buck a gallon…
I hear that alot, from alot of people. Of course, there’re the old people who remember when it was a quarter or some shit, but I’ll concern myself only with what I’ve lived through while actually owning a vehicle I needed to gas up. So, call it about 16 years.

Friday’s recommended reading
I’m still here, for the moment. Reports of my death were premature, as it were.
I’m currently working on a new website that will be a collaborative effort with a few other friends. When it goes live, I’ll be posting here with the new URL.
In the meantime, I order you all to read this essay.

Amidst scandal, a Frenchman talks tough.
Reading about a growing political scandal in France just now, and noticed a delectable quote from Nicholas Sarkozy:
“When I shoot, I shoot to kill, not to wound. The end to this is close.”
That would, of course, diametrically oppose him to the majority of France’s national army, who in the past have eschewed shooting for a […]
