Irregular’s Intel – My Reason For the Season

As autumn comes upon us I begin to feel it in the air. The energy, the excitement… it’s my time. I love fall for a number of reasons. The color changes, the crispness in the air, football. But there is one thing in particular that makes this time of the year extra special for me: it is prime reading time!! You know it is!! I mean, for some reason it just seems that the weather is usually perfect to hole up and get my read on!  Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – My Reason For the Season

Irregular’s Intel – Cheers to the Late Bloomers of the World

The other day I was talking to my wife about where I am in life at this moment. I was talking about how happy I am and how it has taken me longer than most to start to realize my potential, sorta. I said that I was ok with being a late bloomer. I said that thinking of how so many others seem to have gotten a clue about what they want out of life and how to get it way earlier than me.

Irregular’s Intel – Enough Is Enough!

Here it is, Sunday afternoon, the day before Labor Day, and I am on the fence about what I am about to say. Yet another mass shooting has occurred and I am over it. I know that the following words are going to piss some of you off, but there are a few things to take into consideration first. #1. This is my blog and my opinion. I am aware of the facts and those facts can be interpreted in various ways, depending on who is presenting and how, more like a glass half empty/half full situation. #2. This is not a personal attack on any person or group, just my observation from 48 years of living on this planet. #3. I am a gun owner, a proud one at that. But I am also not so tied to that thing that I lack the ability to back away and have some semblance of objectivity. With that being said…  Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Enough Is Enough!

Irregular’s Intel – Living Between Wednesdays

First, I want to give a shout out to my man Wordburglar because one of his raps inspired the title of this week’s entry. So, for us comic fans, Christmas comes weekly! Pretty much every Wednesday the new comics come out and, sometimes, that’s the only saving grace of a hard week. Even if it is a light week, we get to congregate at the safe havens that are our local comic shops. I mean, while I was away for work, the struggle was real. I was missing home and my routine was ALL the way off… add to that I didn’t get my weekly fix.  Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – Living Between Wednesdays

Irregular’s Intel – My Virtual Training Partner

Lately, I’ve started getting back to my martial arts roots. I remembered that one of the things that I would do to stay inspired would be to read training manuals and to watch training videos. But it is no longer the 90s and we have YouTube! So, now, I get to mix my training with some of my fandoms, such as watching a video about how many martial arts does John Wick know or real life examples of CQC (close quarters combat) from Metal Gear Solid. There are also the videos that I used to watch for inspiration on there, too.  Continue reading Irregular’s Intel – My Virtual Training Partner
