I have always enjoyed writing and exploring new ideas, new beliefs, and the dreams that rattle around inside my head. I have enjoyed the current state of science, human progress, fantasy and existence and write about them when I can.

After The Asteroid Struck Earth
Every story starts somewhere in time, and for me, this story started in the year 1997, with a story I found somewhat implausible. The asteroid was nearly thirty years away. Named 1997-XF11, it was going to be the biggest threat to the earth at just five thousand miles distance when it eventually flew through our part of the galaxy. N.A.S.A, however, disagreed in rapid time, calling the findings of the original team off by as much as 290,000 miles. Two years by a group of scientists recruited and paid for by billionaire investors or two weeks by a group of government scientists, whose findings can be classified by the bureaucrats. Which would you believe?

Who Was The First Black Superhero In Film
Nobody will ever, and I mean ever, forget the mega-hit, blockbuster success, that was Black Panther. Perhaps it was the timing of the movie, the already storied success of anything with the name Marvel, or some other lame excuse that people have come up with for its stellar performance, and its place in the "billion-dollar club" of movies. Excuses like that are crimes because what Ryan Coogler (director) and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther/T'Challa) did together was one of the most memorable superhero movies of the entire genre.

The Hearts Call-Chapter 3
Winds whipped loose dirt and ash around outside of a cave as Lizzy tossed and turned in her sleeping bag. Her face was dirty from days of being on the run without finding anywhere to get more water or clean up. A howl in the distance stirred her, causing her to open her eyes and look around. This was the hardest part of the day since the crash, waking up to find it was all real. It reminded her that her grandfather was gone, much like her father. If she couldn't find a way out of the hot zone and back to San Diego, Lizzy was all alone.

Never Fitting In At WorkTop Story - June 2021
To begin with, I never really felt like I fit in anywhere. Perhaps there are reasons for those feelings that I should have tried to address much, much earlier in life. However, hindsight being 20/20 doesn't do anything for the future, or even the now. Rejects, misfits, renegades, rogues, and loners. That's where I always felt I was in the social constructs of society.

Black Widow The Movie. The Characters Changed Since Iron Man 2.
Finally, after a much longer wait than should have been, and a pandemic, the much wanted and anticipated release of the "Black Widow" movie is getting close enough the excitement has my arm hairs standing on end. Scarlett Johansson is finally getting the standalone movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe she should have gotten after Marvels' Avengers. As a fan of the movies this is big, no huge, no colossal...you get the gist. After first appearing in the MCU in Iron Man 2, we're finally going to get to see a little of where Natasha Romanoff, the totally badass, fiery redhead, Avenger came from and learn a little more in-depth about the origins of the MCU's favorite assassin and ex-Sheild Agent. But, what about the actress?

The 50 Year War That We Lost
Reading, writing, arithmetic, science, and oh, yeah, physical education. These are the things that we raise our kids telling them to focus on in between bouts of video games, movies, television, and our inability to figure out a way to have the energy to spend any real time with them. We depend on luck to raise our kids, luck that they'll do good in school, luck that they'll end up with a great teacher, and luck that we can help provide them with a good education as long as they had the goals in front of them. From the 1950s to today, raising children has become a much more complicated and I dare say, painstaking task, for those that want to keep their kids on a straight and narrow path. Enter in the years of the D.A.R.E. Program, and the colossal failure in the efforts to curb drug use in America.

One Of The Unsolved Murders From My Area Of The World.
Over the years, if you lived in my area, there is one cold case or another that will occasionally become the subject of bar chatter or water cooler banter. Having met and worked with the person that was the only arrest in the case, ever, this one is definitely a case I'll always remember. The unsolved murder of Brenda Marsh and Earl Marsh still haunts the area.

Southwestern Iowa's Most Grizzly Unsolved Murders, The Villisca Axe Murders Of 1912.
In the fall of 2010, in my darkest of places, I traveled to visit a young female friend that attended college in North-Western Missouri. Truthfully, at that time in my life, the long drives on the weekends were a very cathartic experience. During one of those eight-hour drives that I made, I took a side trip. I'd noticed signs and found the distraction online as I plotted different routes. In a small town in South Western Iowa, a town I had never heard of before, there is an allegedly haunted home that was once the scene of a horrifically shocking multiple murder. Before I knew it, I was now entering Villisca, Iowa. I was, down the rabbit hole, as they say. This place is just a bizarre little piece of midwest history but I couldn't help but visit it, to get the feeling of the place, and the sense of dread that comes with knowing about such a dreaded crime. Perhaps, as a professional curiosity, having been in law enforcement, I'm intrigued by such events. Or, perhaps I am like many, just drawn to mysteries and the bizzare.
