Good evening, World! My last post was kind of deep, so this time I’m keeping things light with news on my recent updates. A major change I’m currently undertaking involves changing the focus of my works. As many of you know, my, what you could call "writer’s break,” happened on Hubpages.com by me writing about the Yu-Gi-Oh trading card game (Turns out people love it when you describe a card game more complicated than a Blernsball from Futurama in plan-speak instead of trying to prove how “Smort” you are). This outlet enabled me to learn there is a market for my bizarre brand of humor, because I got tons of positive feedback. However, considering my distance from our favorite “children’s card game” over the years, I must say writing Yu-Gi-Oh articles is no longer where my passions lie. Because of this, I’m sad to say I will be straying from Yu-Gi-Oh card game articles in the future and focusing more on my creative fiction and horror movie reviews. I’m currently seeking to publish my Sci-Fi horror tale, “The Eyes of Technium,” which contains horrifying predictions for viral outbreaks and the state of humanity, “The Last Testament of Antoine Vieira,” a part of my Eastern Shore tales describing when animal rights activism goes wrong, and “Wings of a Wyvern,” a fantasy short story that’s a chilling parallel to the current murders of Black Americans. As usual, I’ll follow my current “If declined five times…” rule and publish any stories myself here I can’t publish elsewhere. I may even post an excerpt from my current novel, Gamespace, at some point. Concerning, my movie reviews… look out for those on my Youtube channel, which you can access via on my Inner Dimensions page. As for the current state of the U.S. pertaining to Black Lives Matter, even though the rioting has stopped, and people from many walks of life have put in their two cents or released their hundred-thousand-dollar music videos, I personally think one of the most poignant points was made by Dave Chapelle when he decided to step off well-deserved comedic thrown to address the nation (because… somebody has to keep America in perspective other than John Oliver and Dr. Fauci). Here’s the link to that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tR6mKcBbT4. I would like to note I agree but disagree on his point about, “These streets will speak for themselves,” because there are many Black artists and entertainers who make money from the Black community yet remain silent not because they decided to minimize distractions from the movement’s message, but so they don’t lose their ENDORSEMENTS. As with all things, remember the Why is just as important as the What. Laila Ali and Bow Wow are just two I can think of from the top of the my head who openly expressed the latter, even though Bow Wow eventually changed his perspective this year… I think. As usual, wear those masks, keep a six-foot-stick by your side to measure distance and to beat anyone whom violates it (just kidding; don’t do that), and stay safe.
