To plume up my will in double knavery

Been re-sending the Childe Cycle, from whence my sobriquet originates, and am surprised anew by how appropriate it is.

I picked the name Bleys because I thought it was cool, but I have a lot in common with Bleys Ahrens.

Ahrens lives in a universe in which humanity outside of Earth has divided into 3 main "splinter cultures": the mystical Exotics, the militaristic Dorsai, and the fundamentalist Friendlies. He is part of a group called the Others, which are ...

When I was in my 20s, there's a story I loved to tell. It's a true story.

When I was going to college, I moved in with my father. The first big snowstorm of the year, he and I went out to shovel the driveway. My father is an engineer, and he spent quite some time looking over the driveway and the available tools and deciding on the most efficient way to do the job with minimal effort. I, on the other hand, grabbed a shovel and started moving snow.

By the time he ...

I'm not a religious man, but I've recently discovered that my cat is a Protestant.

I found a dead cardinal on my doorstep.

A woman recently asked me, "How do you view lesbian relationships"?

I thought to myself, " Well, this is dangerous, but on the other hand, it's an open-ended question, surely it's safe to answer "

Apparently not

APPARENTLY, this was a question with right and wrong answers

And apparently," 1080p fullscreen " was a wrooooooooonnnnnnnggg answer"

I'm beginning to grow annoyed by people claiming that technology is destroying society. Yes, young people prefer their tablets and phones to "traditional" activities like family diners- but what does this replace? What was the most common thing people did before the internet? smurfing war, that's what. Tech is bringing the internet inti homes, and that is making people interact with others from other countries and philosophies and thereby find out that such is not evil. Yes, we still ...

I got stuck at work for a couple of extra hours due to a police-mandated lockdown.

I didn't get shot, though.

The shooter is still at large, and apparently people are reporting where they're seeing the cops on social media. How thick do you have to be?

What year is it? Because I just passed a video rental store and now I'm concerned that I may have fallen into a time vortex without noticing.

I also got off work early today, the probability of which has been a running joke at work pretty much since Ted Rogers died. (As in: it doesn't happen anymore, and hasn't happened since Ted's day.)

With all of my extra leisure time, I decided to have an aimless walk around town. That's when I saw the video store.

So, I thought I really liked orange juice and bought one of those huge, nearly 2L cartons of it yesterday.

Turns out orange juice is smurfing disgusting without gin.

I keep forgetting how well-educated one of my drinking buddies is because she's a woman.

The weird part is that she's totally "one of the guys" and I'd forget she was a girl if not for the fact that she was moderately attractive.

I got smurfing SCHOOLED tonight and I deserved it.

ITT: castigate the moron.

I'm even stupid in my own dreams. I ruined what should have been a totally erotic dream with my own stupidity.

I was a 16th century Earl and this super-hot peasant girl came to my manor to beseech my protection, and I was too smurfing stupid to capitalise on the situation.

Seriously, she was sending out signals left right and center. All the sidelong glances, fiddling with her hair when she talked to me, saying that she'd do anything for protection. Anybody would ...
