I'm done with Tumblr. New blog is... →
No drama, just tired of it, for a lot of reasons—most of them obvious and common to others, a couple peculiar to me and my goals (such as they are) as a writer. Not deleting any of my old Tumblrs or this one but will no longer update them either. The link above goes to my Wordpress blog, which will be my only active site aside from G+ and Twitter for the foreseeable future.

First Concert?
Oy.
A Christian rock band called Fireworks near the end of the summer of 1981, with a slightly older girl named Jennifer Churchwell, at the War Memorial Auditorium in Nashville, TN.
Second date ever, too, and still just about one of the weirdest.

Jason Offutt is one of the best paranormal writers with a blog, but all I could think of when I read this post was this guy (2nd image down), who inhabits the lawns of suburban homes throughout the midwest.

EDIT: I don’t read HuffPo as much as I probably should—Nina set me straight and let me know they’ve listed the other folks above in the past. The...

Mystery noise reported in Gainesville, GA →
Earlier today I blogged this video of a mysterious flying object seen in the skies over Georgia.

Hall County Sheriff’s deputies are patrolling the county in response to multiple reports of a mysterious noise.

I’m glad the internet has made it so easy for people to express themselves. Self-expression is, as a rule, a good thing for humanity. Unfortunately the tantalizing power to respond immediately with a slap (or a suck up) has been handed to millions (of idiots) in the form of an unfollow, star, RT…
