Stickman Riot

Stickman Riot, 2022

About a year ago now I was trying to get my spouse to play a card game with me. We tried MTG but since I played several years ago, the game has become too cumbersome for new players to learn, or for returning players to find any fun, however we both enjoyed the core mechanics.

With this in mind, we sought to create our own card game. We made about 300-400 cards before we ran out of steam. The game is still fun but making the game was more rewarding because it meant that I was engaged in deep thought with someone I love.

While making the game the cards needed art to display, there are tons of these cards with pictures but this one is my favorite because it puts the "stickman" of bathroom fame, somewhere unexpected, a street riot.

3:10 To Yuma; A Modern Classic

This is an essay I wrote in March 2023 for an English class. It is about an 8 Min read. The Western is a genre that is so effective at speaking to our morals as people that it transcends culture, language, and borders as well as time. Unlike other genres that rely on cautionary tales or contrived drama, Westerns delve deep into moral questions that touch the very core of our being. This is because a Western is not subject to the typical parameters of society. The lines between what is considered civilized and archaic are significantly blurred. The vastness and semi-lawlessness that exists in the genre is what challenges us to ask ourselves what we would do in difficult situations, and if our actions align with what is right. They force us to question the very foundations of our civilized society, both past and present. In short, the power of a Western lies in its ability to make us feel something unique. They tug at our heartstrings and leave us with a sense of purpose. To me the movie...

The Mysterious Birdman of Mound 72

Cahokia, a once bustling epicenter of civilization nestled across the river from what is now known as St. Louis, is often referred to as the archaeological counterpart of ancient Jerusalem, only manifested in a tapestry of earthen mounds rather than stone structures.      An illustrious city and sacred hub of the ancient Native American civilization, Cahokia was an American beacon of light during the European 'Dark Ages'. While unknown to the "civilized world" the city functioned as a vibrant hub of exchange; its trade routes stretching across the expanse of the continent. Its influence was palpable, with artifacts, pottery shards and intricate jewelry traced back to Cahokia found from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The echoes of its cultural impact reverberate still today, among contemporary native tribes, with its mythology and legends deeply interwoven into their spiritual practices.      The heart of this ancient city's allure and the greatest archaeolo...

Roman Nursery Rhymes: This the Bridge of Hero's

As mentioned in an earlier post, I've been working on a collection of poems about ancient Rome, and I want to share them here to showcase my progression. These poems are geared towards a younger audience, like storybooks or vocabulary books. I'm taking Roman myths and true stories and turning them into fun and accessible texts for kids. In this post, I'll be sharing the second poem in the series, so let's dive in and explore the story of Horatius Cocles together. This is the second post of this type; I will include a link to the first at the bottom of the page. Now the poem... *** This the Bridge of Hero's 2022 Once upon a time there was a Kingdom called Rome. It was a place anyone could come and make friends and call home. The King there was kindly, wise and sage, The only trouble was in his old age. Then one day the good old king did die, and his son ‘Lucius’ became king, and he was not a good guy. He stole from the people, and he forbid fun in the city. He took a...
