Stuff I Like, Episode 1: Uglies

Hey internet, it's Markus. I'm writing again on this blog and for the first time I'm starting something that hopefully I will make a regular thing, along with other regular things that I will also add later. The first one is easy, and really an exercise in self indulgence.

First up, a series by one of my favorite…See More

Markus replied to Captain Jacqui Sparrow's discussion Christian-Atheist Alliance?
"I gotta say this sounds incredibly cool, and I'm really glad to see someone on the Atheistic side reaching out for religious tolerance. I'm... man my religious beliefs are so overcomplicated that I really don't have one word for it.…"

Markus replied to Captain Jacqui Sparrow's discussion Seeking mental health help. [urgent]
"It's a bit patronizing to say that she's a kid. Legally? Yeah she is, but anatomically and mentally she is very much leaving child town. That said, I agree that medical help is the best option."

Another Excerpt, Complete with Ellipses

Sometimes symmetry comes to us. Sometimes the way we imagine a story should go is exactly how it goes. Sometimes, when we’re incredibly lucky, the stories we make up are surpassed, and truth becomes not just stranger, but better, than fiction... ...I wanted to say yes, to say no, to wrench as many maybe-hers as possible from our talking. I thought about what I’d say and realized that I had even less of a clue about my lines than about hers. I spent so much time obsessing over this moment in the…See More

An Excerpt

Hey, this is Markus. I'm kinda new, but I wanted to share something I wrote recently as part of the book I'm trying to write. If anyone could comment or critique that'd be great. How many people do you know? I mean really know. Not the sort of half-know that we pretend is really what knowing is today. I don’t mean know names, or birthdays, or favorite foods, or any of the facts that dictate their daily routine.
