The Risen – The Rise and Fall of Economies
Abstract: Fundamentally, everyone is vulnerable to the economies they dwell in. In turn, becoming by-products of that environment and succeed or fail based upon how, when, and why reaction is decided. What can an individual think about when trying to survive in the rise and fall of economies? Also, is there hope for folks who wait and observe before diving into the economic streams?
The state of economies continues to change. From patch-to-patch, expansion-to-expansion, and game-to-game, economies change. It is that simple. Markets that produced huge returns one day simply fail the next or enter into a dark void of lapse over a certain period of time, which no one can predict, until they resurface again.
On the contrary, new markets rear their adorable heads (well not truly adorable unless you know about them and you are making a profit from them, otherwise they could be considered ugly), as frequently as there …
The Joys of Writing – Being Yourself
I write because I love writing. I am sharing this blog and thoughts because I love sharing too. It is that simple. In the words of a powerful and extremely successful blogger and best selling author, Seth Godin, one who continues to inspire people around the world and simply ‘loves to write’ himself, “the only reason I blog is because I love it. I love being able to create something that feels like a gift, giving an idea that spreads, that may improve something for someone.”
What I do not blog for is personal gain. I do not blog for an audience or looking for my fans, subscribers, followers (what ever social media calls it per application/site) to increase and basing my ‘success’ off of those generic numbers. I am not in the numbers game. Never will be. I am just being me and sharing ideas and expressions as they come.

Abstract: The beginnings of a story, a tale of sorts. Perhaps a personal journey through the mind of a new writer. Perhaps just expressionism in words. Regardless what one might label the words below, I hope you enjoy my writing style. All my best to you for this came to me in a dream. Be my dream catcher and walk with me for a few moments…
There I stood, motionless. My hands dripped red droplets of life, and each one fell to the beat of my heart and kissed the dark soil below. Bodies lay in various riddled forms at my feet. My boots, smeared in remains like shamanic runes from Alaz’krue. There was no breeze and time stood still for a period The Ancients call, The Awakening.
Thoughts raced through my mind and at the tail of each one, my body shivered. Overwhelmed with a sudden need to crouch, my back …

“Community”
Abstract: The following article covers a glimpse of my personal experiences in this so-called ‘community’ of World of Warcraft. The intentions of this article are two fold, one to share one person’s experiences and what keeps the individual going, and second, as an educational guide of self-analysis for each member of the ‘community’ to use as a point of reflection, to ensure as individuals in this ‘community’, everything within one’s power is used to promote, nourish, and strengthen the game we all love to play.
The Journey
Over the past several months while being in this World of Warcraft “community” (by definition according to Merriam-Webster: “a group of people with a common characteristic or interest living together within a larger society”. My personal definition expands the ‘interest’ part to include everything from those involved in live-streaming, podcasting, gold-making, guilds, in-game events, social media site associations, and everything wow), I have come to …
