Not Cool Google

On April 16, 2022 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Odds & EndsLeave a comment

So I was at work the other day shelving books when I spotted a title that interested me. Usually I pull out my phone and scan the cover in the Amazon app to download a sample. In this case the book was on sale for cheap so I went right ahead to buy it. Only, …

A big shoutout and thank you to the editors over at Deep Overstock for selecting a piece of mine for their Spring issue: Superheroes. I was excited to provide a piece for this issue as my grandfather was one of the artists who worked on the Captain America comics in the late forties. I've grown …

Morality Sopranos Style

On October 4, 2021 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Odds & EndsLeave a comment

I've recently returned to watching The Sopranos and I find it oddly still resonating 13 years after it ended. As a fan of mob stories I shouldn't be too surprised, but in such changed world from the start of the millennium I do find it interesting. Maybe nothing's changed, maybe everything has, but one thing …

Missed Opportunity

On February 16, 2021February 16, 2021 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Odds & EndsLeave a comment

I've finished watching all 98 episodes of Star Trek Enterprise some 15 years after it went off the air. Is it deserving of the moniker, "the show that killed Star Trek"? Probably not, but it certainly is my least favorite of the franchise. I do think it is a perfect example of a show that …

Never Own Content Again

How's that title grab you? We are getting closer and closer to that reality. How many subscription services have you signed up for? Nextflix, Spotify, Audible, the list is long, and they all promise you tons of content. The important part is don't get too attached to it. What happened to me recently is I …

Scammy Scammers and How They Scam

On September 14, 2020September 14, 2020 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn Odds & EndsLeave a comment

So a little over a month ago I had an ad come across my Facebook feed for a mechanical Bluetooth keyboard. I had seen these before and knew they usually go for over $200. This one was only $59.99 minus a $3 discount so $56.99. Shipping was another $7.79 bringing the total up to $64.74. …

I’ve Dropped Facebook

On August 14, 2020August 14, 2020 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn PersonalLeave a comment

It feels so freeing to say that. As of today, Friday August 13th I have deactivated and deleted my Facebook account. Facebook lately has just become a den of racism and misinformation. Not to mention scams. I’ve been stung three times. The first two were for small amounts, items I never received. The last one …

(Not) Writing In a Pandemic

On July 20, 2020 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn WritingLeave a comment

I originally was going to call this post, "Writing In a Pandemic." Unfortunately I haven't been doing much of that. At first I was really down on myself for letting all this free time go to waste, but as I talked to more writers I found that this seems to be the situation for many. …

I’m a Terrible Writer

On April 17, 2020 By Vincent A. AlasciaIn WritingLeave a comment

There, I said it. Though I feel I may need to clarify things. My writing is not terrible, I'm just very bad at sitting down to write. If anything these last few weeks inside have made me realize all the excuses I've made for not finishing this or starting that are just excuses. Time is …
