What a Mess. Political satire hidden within actual news and life lessons.
Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)My assorted writing - this is the stuff that doesn't fit another stream. Sometimes it will be thoughts, sometimes fiction, pretty eclectic. Probably will be updated more than the others
Rambles on the books I've read. There will be spoilers. Mystery and Thriller books.
My fiction aims to create a sense of urgency and awareness -- a sense of responsibility to confront what is wrong and make it right. The imperfections in the world may be corrected through a serious effort to identify and reshape our assumptions about how society and our perceptions, and therefore our behavior, should be structured. We are entering a new stage in the evolution of human consciousness, bringing an awareness of the need for new goals and values. Together, we can contribute to that new way of thinking and behaving. Join me as I explore the possibilities. Your comments are welcome.
Articles about survival and bushcraft on a budget. This started as reviews of dollar store camping items, but I expanded the scope to include a lot of other topics. There will be a YouTube channel at some point in the near future if everything goes according to plan. Content is largely mirrored on Medium
Stories of the underbelly - things I lived as part of growing up in poverty or stories from people I know in the same kind of life. There will be crossover with what I have on Medium, probably a lot of it - this costs less, but only gives you my work

Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.

Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

Read more from Cycles of Reflection"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."
Most Americans still imagine Greenland as a distant wasteland of ice and polar bears. That picture is outdated. Greenland now stands at the center of the most serious strategic contest on Earth. Whoever holds Greenland controls the northern hemisphere. The island sits directly on the shortest missile path between the United States, Russia, and China. That fact alone turns a remote Arctic landmass into a priceless military asset.
