Despite my typical insomnia, I managed to wake up at a normal-person time today. That was good! The Sun was actually out. This past week I’ve been planning a big move, one that’s obvious now. Either because you’re looking at the results of it or you’re looking at the endless parade of links to it [...]

Much like the second death star was to be far more powerful than the first, the second, newly independent iteration of The Chaos Fold aspires to bring the same world-crushing power to bear on the hearts and minds of readers across the globe.
Both sites will continue to update together, until the new Mark II is [...]

The Chaos Fold will soon have has a new internets home. Not much will change other than the design improving a bit and the furious redirection of traffic to the new site. Once I’ve migrated everything to my liking I’ll post all about it, everywhere.
Seriously, you won’t be able to miss this stuff.
edit: like this, [...]

For the first time in The Chaos Fold’s history… Godwin’s Law has been invoked.

In the wake of my recent traffic boom I’ve been getting some people here who have said some fairly outrageous things. I want to make crystal-clear my policies regarding commenting, and debate on this site.
They’re both great. I love comments, and I love debate. What I don’t love are ad-hominem attacks, copy/pasted propaganda, and hate [...]

I’ve taken my potshots at John McCain and Sarah Palin lately. Childish, but fun. I don’t think anyone can really disagree with my assessment in their heart of hearts, that is to say “Ahahahahahahahahahaha”.
I don’t want to joke about that right now, though. I’ve talked about Barack Obama before, I’ve got his link right over [...]

So thanks to Ragamuffin Soul and The Epic Legends, the blag has exploded. My page views chart looks lewd in its verticality.
#4 on WordPress.com’s fastest growing blogs and still counting. Is this the Blog equivalent of critical mass? Is the Chaos Fold about to rupture and demolish all the tubes with its awesome? Time will [...]

The story’s been told, the first legend put to print.
Here’s what happened after.
Me and the girl in the next seat never really happened as a couple. Our relationship began and ended on that bus. Still, its brevity and its purity changed my whole perspective on life and love. I learned that hardship usually has a [...]

The conclusion of the first installment in my new autobiographical-comedic-prose series “The Epic Legends” nears its conclusion. I was in Atlanta. I had won the rights to the bed after a day that was both triumphal and trying. As a 15-year-old me once remarked, it was a turning point. I was determined to stick it [...]

The Reviews Are In!
“I enjoyed it, but I got a bit queasy at one point.” -Fearless Commenter Mike on the Atlanta Saga.
“You gave me something to do besides my epically boring history homework.” – Vaastaan of CQY
