New Years is a time when people make resolutions to make themselves better. The common ones are to make an end to smoking, doing some exercises, or stuff like that. It’s important to evaluate ourselves, to take an accounting of ourselves. How would you live if you had a year to live it? What would […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello, my name is Jack. I learned long ago that it is the chance encounters, the unplanned meetings, that will forever dominate our lives. We can plan all we want what we will do when the ground is perfectly laid out for us. But what do we do when we can’t plan? What do we […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I spent the first twenty-one years of my life fighting. I lost a lot of friends during The War. I gained a lot of friends too. I remember them all and I message those who still live every day. We all treasure the Peace we fought for, as only those who have fought can do.
I see a lot of things happen to people, bad things that hurt, and I’m sorry to see it. I’m not responsible of course, but when you say how horrible your day is, I’m not going to remain silent.

Don’t get me wrong; I love warships; some of my best friends are warships. […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I met a girl. I’ve been here for an hour, looking for words, and that’s all I’ve got. I met a girl. She’s a good kisser. I don’t even know her name. I’m supposed to be screening candidates for a position. I keep seeing her face. I can’t forget her scent. It’s like I’m back […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Most people don’t like people who tell them to do one thing and then do another. People don’t trust them, don’t want to be around them. The interesting thing I’ve found is that most people don’t like to be the person who isn’t don’t what they say. Most people want to walk their talk. Most […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Hello, my name is Jack. One good thing about being part of the military of one of the world’s greatest superpowers is that your handiwork gets plastered all over the net and people think it’s great. They think you’re a Big Damn Hero. When things start to get shaky is when they think they want […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’ve been to more worlds than most people can count. Every world has a different culture, a different way of dealing with internal problems. Every city has a police force different from every other. Some police departments believe in defending the public, and some enforcement the law. Some people are happy to see them walk […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
