  Worf was trying everything he could think of, but his brain wasn’t being very rational. All he knew was energy attacks were useless, and that many other technological beings have been beaten before by Klingon combat prowess. Blood dripped from his forehead, and sweat stung in his eyes. Little damage…

  Drake could hear movement in the hallway. The bulk of his armor made turning around to see what was behind him, a frustrating effort. The enclosed space continued to rub against the well worn suit, but Drake was taught to always face his enemies. He found it curious though that…

  Brutal Heat: Laziness and Bad Eating are the Result

  So this week, I’m sure I’m not going to reach my weight loss goals, mostly because the weather this week has been super unusual. With the constant heat, it isn’t even like I can get out for a walk in the late evenings. I’ve never been a fan of the…

  Conflicts in Life Goals

  While I pride myself on being a relatively focused person when it comes to what I want out of life, there are some things that conflict. Right now, the conflict weighing heavily on my mind, even though I can’t act on it, is the fact that I want to live…

  Worf arrived on the bridge, and was welcomed with the devastated glances of his long-time friends. Riker was the first to speak up as he walked towards the turbolift. “As you have been informed, we are in a bit of a bind.” In his normal stoic tone, Worf responded slowly,…

  Walden by Henry David Thoreau

  “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live…

  Drake was shoving his heavy fists through anything that looked like a control console. If he wasn’t going to be able to control the ship, he’d cripple it, take control, and use a single survivor to help him get home. Every person that he killed, and everything he destroyed got…

  Almost Purchased a New Lens

  So, during the weekend, I stopped off at Henry’s in Kingston and almost bought the Canon 24-105mm f4 L IS lens. It would have been nearly $1600 after tax and slapping a protective filter on the end of it, but because they were too slow to act on price matching…

  Harry Potter: Final Movie Review

  So the last Harry Potter movie recently came out and I was invited to go to Kingston to see it with my cousin Kyle on opening weekend. Initially we planned on doing it opening night, but neither of us are such strong fans that we wanted to compete with the…

  OPPW: Week Five – 296.2lbs

  While I didn’t quite meet my goal this week, I came within striking distance, and the biggest thing is for me to keep seeing the scale have smaller numbers. I’m hopeful that next week, I can get to 295.0lbs, but we will see. This weekend, I am visiting family in…

  A few moments later, deep within the Enterprise, the turbolift doors opened, revealing the massive marine to a young ensign trying to arrive back to her quarters to see to her children. No one was supposed to be walking around, except for required personnel. The hulking suit of armor shifted…
