Pirate Robots

When I consider the “end of the world”, that fiery meteor that destroys us all, or the superbug flu that infects and drops us one by one, it is not the loss of life that saddens me so much. Granted, my own passing would be a disappointment, or the loss of a loved one would [...]

My grandfather died Saturday morning. He had Alzheimer’s and, as with all of those that suffer from that ailment, he was long gone in mind before in body. He was a good man, now dead. I don’t feel incredibly sad about it, but for this reason I have been out of town, without means or [...]

Busy busy busy.
Pirate robots has been working on lining up the first title to be produced and I am thrilled to announce that a name of some importance locally, as well as elsewhere, has been brought into the piraterobot fold. More to follow…

far too early this morning
her bladder ignoring
the three taps of the snooze button.

like a postal worker’s [...]

After my last post about memories of the last 3 years, I was asked to explain some of the events mentioned, so for you that are interested…
Master Pirate Robot, it looks like you had quite a roller coaster of a time these past three years. What religions did you change from and to? How bad [...]

Memory is a funny thing, especially when facilitated by old email.
I was digging through my old gmail files, maybe the best thing about gmail, how it organizes everything into categories. It’s like having a personal assistant who specializes in sorting email and chats. Amazing. Anyway, I was digging through old ones and found some that [...]

Power was out for 3 days after Hurricane Dolly rolled out. Still getting life back in order. Will post soon. I promise. Hope everyone is safe.

Good show tonight. Almost read short stories entirely. Trying to test out which stories will make the upcoming chapbook of short stories. Am trying to devise a name for the book. If you have any ideas for a book title feel free to comment it. You will be given credit in the book. Enough for [...]
