Unnatural Selection By LFM I’ve had a gift these many years And ken not whence it came. I cannot claim to guide its ways, Nor even know its name. To outward signs, I have good genes, And carry aging well. I will admit, I’m all of that, But something else as well. It’s not that […]

Welcome, Dear Reader, to yet another season of Dark Sentiments; being our traditional 31 October days of musings, revelations, exposé, poetry, literature, visual arts, and myriad dark expressions of the Human spirit, all chosen from the sort most in the world have spent the past year trying desperately to avoid, or pretend into nonexistence. This […]

By the courtesy and unflagging vigilance of the Right Honourable Master At Arms James Albert Keating, I was recently made aware of an entertaining bit of information out of Scotland. According to her Behance and facebook profiles, Beatrice Sgorbani is a young woman living in Edinburgh, Scotland, working as a “brand and business development executive” […]

The picture above explains the reason for my absence of late – Viktor Ryszard Lawrence Whynacht was born to Mrs. LFM and me at 02:10 Atlantic Daylight Time on 3 September 2013 – miraculously at almost exactly the same time and on the same date on which, in 2001, I grabbed his perfect Mother, pushed […]

The stupidity of sending out trappers after a bear who did nothing except be a bear is unbelievable. How about – if you’re going into bear country, expect to have a bear encounter. If you can’t handle that, DON’T GO WHERE BEARS LIVE!! And for fuck’s sake, wear something a little more appropriate on your […]

Welcome back dear reader, and may I introduce you to this fourth chapter of In Ferro Veritas! This summer in Nova Scotia has seen an extreme escalation in highway accidents and fatalities therefrom. Along with this has come a constantly fizzling, crackling background noise of daily close calls, and it is a rarity these days for […]

Father Thomas and the Bear By LFM Father Thomas crossed the sea With righteous blazing soul, In search of heathen sinners, Whose salvation was his goal. A month of sore privation Found him standing on a strand Wherefrom a forest primal Stretched across a trackless land. T’was there he met a people Who were naked, […]

Even though it was done to both of us in infancy, neither Mrs. LFM nor I hold with the practice of baptizing infants into any spiritual affiliation. By extension, this same sentiment applies to anyone else who, for whatever reason, cannot choose for themselves. The fallacies inherent in this sordid and inexcusable practice are beautifully […]

“It’s not that people don’t give a fuck; it’s that they don’t broadcast the topics for which fucks are given. Because giving a fuck can often lead to being hurt, fucks are given more cautiously and with lesser fanfare than was the case with the fucks given in previous time periods. The proper current etiquette […]
