Things you may not know about me. My very best fri Things you may not know about me. My very best friend happens to be a cat.
This is incredible. This is incredible.
Just finished this book and I thought I’d take t Just finished this book and I thought I’d take the time to share the very first book review I’ve ever written. Something I’ll add here, that I didn’t put in the general review, the violence is very well done. The author knows what’s up, and is a member of the training community. 

Full Disclosure: The author has been an acquaintance of mine for several years. 

Blood and Whispers is part murder mystery and part psychological profile, set in a modern world where magic exists, and it doesn’t like you very much. 

The book does an excellent job of being entertaining while also taking the concept of an origin story, and approaching it from a rarely seen angle. 

When we meet him, The protagonist isn’t searching for power, he’s already got it. He’s not looking for dragons to slay, they’re already dead. He’s not hungry for glory, he’s earned that and found it chafes. Instead we meet a man whose greatest enemy, is himself. 

I *greatly* enjoyed the author’s effort at examining the emotional toll wielding the power of creation might take on a man after several lifetimes, and enjoyed even more seeing what would force such a man to reenter the world again. 

If you enjoy Jim Butcher, or Lev Grossman, and would have liked to have seen Hermit Luke figure out his issues without suckling from a space manatee and turning into a pacifist, you’ll probably really enjoy this book. 

I’m incredibly hopeful the author continues the series, as I’m excited to see what comes next.

I’ve been taking the last few days to make my en I’ve been taking the last few days to make my environment slightly less disordered, today one of the projects on my list was completely redoing my phone’s home screen as well as clearing out around 1,600 unread e-mails.  Why is this worthy of a post you might ask? I think anxiety at some of the world’s larger/uncontrollable events is something that most (not all) of us struggle with to a greater or lesser degree. After some excellent personal advice from @dangerpixieactual the other day, I’ve decided to focus on the “micro” level of my existence, specifically the things I have direct control over no matter how simple/inconsequential they seem. For me there’s a satisfaction and comfort that comes from orderly environments, so, that’s what I’m working on creating for myself currently.

This warrants it’s own post however versus an IG story as it speaks to something that’s been a CONSTANT conversation throughout my entire career. For reference, I’m 6’2” and about 225-230 pounds. 

A properly designed and purpose built AIWB holster, in this instance a @darkstargear Rigel with @discreetcarryconcepts clips, placed appropriately for your body type/geometry should have ZERO impact on your mobility or overall functionality. In this video I’m carrying a @boresightsolutions @glockinc G45, with a @trijicon RMR and @surefire_llc X300.

My range of motion isn’t impacted. My comfort isn’t impacted. My functionality (such as it is) isn’t impacted. 

This is the way. 😂
