6Devil at the Crossroads
My name is Marius Jackson, and I want to be a world famous writer, and that’s why I’m here sitting in the back of my pickup truck out in the middle of the night where two dirt roads cross... waiting.
2Love, Equality, Tacos!
There are those who walk among us. They're called "taco biters", "chalupa lovers", and other nefarious names. But apart from their martial arts skills they're just the same as everyone else.

2Why There Should Not Be a Max Payne 4
Max Payne is a lasting video game franchise that has stood the test of time. With the graceful narrative wordplay of neo-noir and the gritty overtones of a dime-store pulp fiction the series has never failed to impress. I've played all the games, and even sat through that disappointing abomination that was the Max Payne movie. As you might have guessed I am a fan of the series. So you're probably puzzled as to why I don't believe there should be another sequel.
12Taco Ninja!
I take a moment to focus my thoughts. I must remember my master's words..."Two crispy beef tacos, one combination burrito, and three churros." I will retrieve these delicious fast food Mexican delights for my master or I will die trying. I am a taco ninja!
2My Wild and Weird Life in Conversation Form
I seem to have a pretty wacky life. Sometimes I intentionally create it, and sometimes I am the catalyst to turn a normal situation into a wacky one. However, sometimes I just attract the weirdness and it seems to happen around me without any input on my part whatsoever. Here are some excerpts from my crazy life. For once I'm actually not embellishing the truth. Each of these incidents actually happened as I am reporting. The names have been changed to protect the guilty.
8It's Just a Little Blood
“It’s just a little blood,” I mockingly murmured to myself. A ridiculous short story involving blood, which should have been obvious from the title. WARNING: This story contains at least a little blood, which should have also been obvious from the title. It also contains a mop, but we're not going to get into that. If you are squeamish about such things then you may want to skip this one by.
8The Mysterious Midnight Mass
A story about a man who attends midnight mass with his wife and learns the terrible consequences of falling asleep in church.
8The Very Real and Totally NOT FAKE End of the World
It has come to my attention that many of you think that the world will come to an end on December 21, 2012. If you happen to be reading this after December 21, and the world is still intact, then you realize how foolish you were for believing such tripe. Don't get me wrong. The world will end, and I have the TRUE story about when it will finally kick the bucket.
4Deconstructing "Geogaddi" by Boards of Canada
I decided to do a deconstructed review of my favorite album by Boards of Canada: Geogaddi. Of course I didn't realize what sort of insane project I was getting myself into when I started this. This has been a long and arduous labor of love.

2Anniversary of Eight
I suppose you're wondering why I put a human heart in the picture instead of a symbolic heart. Well a human heart looks more interesting, and it's a weird picture to use for a story about love. That fine, however since we're a weird couple anyway. Here's a nice recap of the funny circumstances surrounding our first date.
7Review of Bolthouse Farms "Holiday Nog" Eggnog
It's the holiday season, and that means merry spirits, holiday cheer, and stuffing a decorated shrub in your living room. But more importantly it means the arrival of that delicious and obscure-tasting drink known as "eggnog".
6ANDROIDS ANDROIDS ANDROIDS!
The year is 1999. I'm a cashier at Brammell & Branson, an upscale "do all your shopping here" superstore in Southlake, Texas. I'm a pretty sour person and I show it a lot. You would think that working in customer service at an upscale mega-mart means that I’d have to be chipper and cheery, however it’s a bit pointless when most of your customers are androids.
4Our 2012 Mostly-Great Texas Road Trip part 1: Through the Valley of Darkness
The first part of our 2012 Texas road trip across this massively beautiful and crazy state. This article covers our initial run from Dallas/Ft. Worth to South Padre Island, and all activities we did in the super-southern tip of Texas.

1Review of "Kampai Sushi & Grill" in Addison, Texas
In recent history there seems to have been quite an explosion of Japanese restaurants across Middle America, and like many deeply landlocked cities this is a relatively new phenomenon for us here in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. Twenty-five years ago our choices for unique Asian cuisine were dominated by a plethora of mediocre American-style Chinese restaurants. Sushi was reserved for artsy fartsy people with too much money. After all what kind of weirdo would eat raw fish?
0It's Christmas in Texas
Ah it’s mid-October and it’s the holiday season. I know this, because they’re putting out the Christmas decorations at Walmart. We haven’t even snacked on our Halloween candy yet, and already they’re wetting our lips with holiday cheer.
9Gay Marriage, the Law, and YOU
A comparative definition of what marriage means from a legal view and a religious view. Also an examination of how marriage laws affect people. Yes, I actually wrote something serious for once.
4Book Review of "The Lusty Argonian Maid"
In this article I have chosen to review "The Lusty Argonian Maid", a controversial book by Crassius Curio. It’s controversial in the sense that it contains a large amount of innuendo, and is banned for indecent content in the Summerset Isles. Please note that this is a work of satire, and should be taken as such.

2The Dark Comedic Miasma
A shapeless entity that is five-hundred feet across, which could only be described as “the creature”, had risen out of Bachman Lake earlier that morning and is currently rampaging throughout downtown Dallas. Emma, our heroine, is the last of the comedic sorcerers and it is time for her to fulfill her destiny.
15I Lost My Sense of Fun
I lost my sense of fun. I had a sudden feeling that the back of my skull was peeling open like a banana and a slimy slug was slithering down my spine. I opened my eyes turned around to see a basketball-sized wriggling purple pile of fleshy mass flopping on the floor of my study.
0Everything I Ever Needed to Know I Learned from The Elder Scrolls
A handy guide, or maybe just a pamphlet, for navigating the unique and interesting world of Tamriel. NOTE: The following is a work of fiction. Do not try any of these at home even though I know you already have considered it.
0Struggling

0Peter Petrakov's Magical Bathroom Adventure
A man's attempt to answer the call of nature ends up with a strange situation that he could never have imagined. WARNING: Contains gratuitous amounts of toilet humor, but then again that should be apparent from the title.
4The Sushi at the Werewolf Bar
An alternate story to compare to 'The Werewolf at the Sushi Bar'. This time there's more werewolves and less sushi, but from the title I feel that is expected. May contain scenes of excessive lycanthropy. Reader discretion is advised.
