On Self-Consciousness.
No secret I was a gymrat for many years. My reasons ranged from building a buffer of lean body mass as insurance in the event of personal illness or injury, to the personal validation of picking...
On Long Hair.
One of the things about being a guy with (periodically) long hair is sometimes I get asked why. (Usually family, so I usually just say I like it, and leave it at that.) Sure, I can pull off sho...
Laziness.
I feel like journaling, or at least online diarying was easier when I was younger. It was easier because I didn’t know what the fuck was going on. So I had that sense of wonder, questioning shi...
More on Voting.
I remember back in ‘92, there was an informal poll in my elementary class. I was, what, nine? I “voted” for Clinton, though I couldn’t tell you why. I will say that the ranking was Bush, Clint...
I <3 Canada.
Dear Canadians, If Trump wins, I won’t be offended if you build a wall between us. I’m scared too, though this is my home. (Just please stamp my passport now and then, I like your country.) Sinc...
Hey, that's MY free pizza!
I don’t really check my email on my phone. But when I look down and see YOUR DOMINOS ORDER, I go “uh. I didn’t order any Dominos.” So I check my gmail. I glance down at the pizza. Then I not...
A Subjective Preference for Star Trek Movies.
I actually reread a list I made over ten years ago, and I realized my preferences have changed. This list is completely subjective and isn’t based necessarily on technical aspects. It goes back...
Beginner's Star Trek Primer.
Star Trek to the uninitiated is rather intimidating. It’s a LOT of content, and it’s hard to know where to begin. As well, there are those that have only seen the recent JJ Trek and don’t under...
On Trekkie Pride.
With the success of Force Awakens, I’m totally okay with people thinking “Star Wars” is better than “Star Trek”, because being a Trekkie was never cool. Star Wars has heroes, villains, adventure...
On Force Awakens. (No spoilers.)
Yeah, I usually don’t have spoilers when I talk about movies. If it’s a lesser known movie, I might mention something I really liked. Maybe a specific scene to explain why I liked it. It passes...
Five Ways to Fix Star Trek XII: Into Darkness.
So, I’m Trekkie-sad over the atrocious Star Trek Beyond trailer, and I can’t sleep. (XIII: “Beyond Stupid” looks like mindless action shlock. Still hope there’s an original story.) Naturally, ...
Timmy's Movie Litmus Test.
People get confused when i’ll say “that movie was terrible, I loved it.” To ask me if I liked a movie is totally different than whether I think it was a GOOD movie. I’m not a film critic and to a...
On Lowering Nerdly Expectations.
I remember when I saw Star Trek: The Star Trek back in 2009. (Or Star Trek XI, whatever.) A friend (who happened to be into Star Wars) said to me, “This is the best Star Wars film since Return ...
Holiday Hiatus.
As was at my dad’s girlfriend’s, and she happened to have christmas music on. Man, is it depressing when you’re not in the mood. Especially after years in retail, it’s an odd association to hea...
On the next Star Trek series.
(In no particular order.) Greater representation for women. No series has had an initial cast of more than 3 women. TOS had one. (Chapel and Rand were never regulars.) TNG had three initially. ...
On (food) Immigration.
Every generation has been afraid of immigration, which baffles me. The Irish invaded, and what do we have? Potatos. The Japanese invaded, and we have sushi. The Italians invaded, and we have ...
On Kelly's Longevity.
I just realized that Kelly Quark is over five years old. Which feels midlife to me. I pretty much can’t play bleeding edge games without an upgrade to my graphics card. (Asus EAH4870 Radeon 48...
On Battlefront.
I don’t really keep up with video games anymore. In addition to being timesinks, the stuff costs moneys. Nonetheless, the game showed up on my radar. I’ve watched a couple of reviews, and well...
More On Empathy.
I’m convinced that the issue with the right is a lack of empathy. The left gets called “bleeding heart liberals” because apparently they care about shit. …How exactly is that a bad thing? Meanwh...
On how Climate Change causes Terrorism.
The right has criticized Bernie for his assertion that climate change is linked to terrorism. I thought it was a little odd, at first, too, until I watched a follow-up interview. Then I realized...
Why I don't like Hilldawg.
She’s a disingenuous power monger. Oh, that didn’t take so long. It’s weird, I absolutely love Bill. The very same reasons Republicans hate Slick Willy is why I adore him. When GOP tried to ta...
Political Playoffs.
I wasn’t even aware there was a Republican undercard debate. That’s the Republican Machine for you. No, no, think about it. As much as they want to have a Frontrunner™, the more television tim...
On Timmy™.
With absolutely no disrespect to this website, I think the community Open Diary had was a phenomenon of the times. There’s two contexts. I think of how many people I’ve kept in touch with. No ...
The Great Dalmuti.
I can’t pontificate enough about how awesome this game is. I was introduced to this game years ago, during Gaming Club at CCM. Some variations “keep score”, though we never did, so I never kept...
A Cook in the Navy.
It was always a joke with my grandpa. “I was a cook in the Navy!” A joke, because he didn’t really cook all that much. Grandma always did most of the cooking. Quietly, she told me that he was ...
Book Description
Public entries which I hope are on par with Classic Timmy™.
