Do we have any fans of Tokusatsu in the house? Tokusatsu, for those who don't know, is an umbrella term in Japan used to cover live action TV dramas and movies that feature extensive special effects--a lot of which are CGI these days but there's still a lot of "guy in a suit" and miniature set...

Apologies if this seems overly selfish, to begin with. But... I'm tired of being alone, but yet wary at best of modern women and their shenanigans, their refusal to take responsibility for their actions, and their overall hate of and disrespect for men. I don't "hate women" (that's entirely too...

I have an ever-growing list of series both retro and current being recommended that I need to revisit/get acquainted with, it seems. The ever growing list: "Record of Lodoss War" "Heroic Legend of Escaflowne" "The Slayers" "RG Veda" "Bubblegum Crisis" (I especially love the soundtrack for this...

Even though I do find that a lot of--if not most of--CCM sounds alike and I can only take it in small doses? I still have songs in that genre that I like a lot, and here's two of them: --"In Jesus Name (God of Possible)"/Katy Nichole --"The Killing"/The Violet Burning Both are sung with so...

Couldn't think of a better place to put this one, really. This year, all things considered, even with money tight and getting tighter? I'm thankful for: --the fact I've not given in to the urge to blast my NE leftist family with facts to shatter their mainstream media fueled dream world...

I just got through watching the new "Kamen Rider Black Sun" miniseries and as a long time fan of the classic Japanese "Kamen Rider" ("Masked Rider") franchise, I enjoyed it rather a lot. It's a reboot of sorts of the classic 1987 series "Kamen Rider Black" and while you don't have to be a fan to...

So I have been delving into the world of CCM recently; I've been putting on my local station in the background as I paint my miniatures lately. Aside from my wanting them to play more of a variety of music and artists, because they tend to play the same songs over and over? The one thing other...

I feel awkward and a bit ashamed asking this one, but...how often does God want us to talk to Him? At the moment, I only pray when I have something serious to say to Him or something on my mind that I need to air out to the One who will truly listen without human judgment getting in the way...

Bear with me for a while, here, please, y'all. I don't get to talk about this often, if at all, and please let me get a few things off of my chest. The problem I've had throughout my life is that I appear to be nobody's type at all. To start with, I'm not a traditional "macho/alpha" male type...

Anger and hate are feelings I've had to fight throughout my life for a couple of reasons. Being a skinny nerd who was not allowed to take self defense classes to combat the regular bullying I underwent as a child is one reason. The anger of a nerd who is constantly bullied and has to constantly...

Dedicated Christian NICKO MCBRAIN Says The 'Guv'nor' Doesn't Have A Problem With Him Playing In IRON MAIDEN Heh, I wasn't aware that Nicko McBrain was a Christian! I like this article a lot. I cut my baby headbanger teeth on Iron Maiden, still love their older albums going back to the Di'Anno...

We've seen at least one person with that sentiment tattooed on their bodies at least once in our lifetime, yes? The question I wanted to ask about this is: Do you think that this phrase is used to justify poor choices in life above all, by some people, these days? I often see people using it as...

Hear me out on this one... As of now, I'm inclined to say in reference to myself: "Christian, as in trying to follow Christ and being the best man I can be, yes. Bible thumper, not so much." By "Bible thumper" I mean those who seem to use Scripture as something to hide behind and use as an...

I sold all my consoles a year or so ago because I gain much more satisfaction from sitting at the miniature painting table for a coupe hours at a time. But when I was a serious gamer, I was a PlayStation kinda guy, for sure. The games I loved most were "Bioshock", "Bioshock 2", the "Soul...

Just putting this out there. I'm a music based life form (but especially metal), old fashioned RPG player (my games are all about pencils, paper, dice, and frequent bickering over Rules As Written vs. Rules As Interpreted), reader, anime/J-drama/Godzilla fan, and miniatures painter who veers...

I've been painting miniatures for a variety of games since approximately 2009-ish. Anybody else out there do that? For me, it's my Zen time, my peaceful moments away from the hubbub of modern life. I am currently focusing on 3-D printed miniatures and may well be scoring a printer from a...

As the title implies, I'm of two minds on being single these days. On the one hand, I've been single for 7+ years now, have been pretty much celibate for the last 5 of those years, and I find myself liking it. For the first time in my nearly 53 years of living, I'm content with being single and...

With due respect towards those who disagree with me--and I know you're out there, and I'm not here to trash talk y'all--I have a little something to speak on, here. I've played Dungeons and Dragons since 1981, off and on (dating myself a bit), and really? If it was such a terrible thing, why am...

One thing I forgot to mention in my recent post about the late Lemmy Kilmister was something I find a bit important, to me anyway. We all know that God uses people for His own purposes no matter who they are, correct? Here's a take; I believe that God put Lemmy here on this world and into the...

"I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world." On some levels I Get this Scripture. As someone who has always never "fit in" with the rest and always seemed/seem to be on the outside looking in and wondering just what...
