Paranormal State Interview

I just did an interview for the Paranormal State television show. It airs on A&E. I was a nervous wreck and my phone tried to die. I had to run for the charger! So embarrassing! They interviewed me regarding a haunting in the Pacific NW (more details when I'm allowed ...

A-kon 21 Photos

We spent the weekend of June 3-6 in Dallas at the downtown Sheraton hotel for A-kon 21. This is an anime/comic convention, now in its 21st year (obviously). There were literally scores of costumes — there were probably as many people in costume as there were out of it. I ...

I Think He Saved Me

Yesterday, as I was on my way to my therapy appointment, I stopped at the corner store for a Pepsi. I pulled out of the parking lot and was sitting at the 4-way stop prior to entering the freeway, when I felt something sharp poking me in the ass. I ...

Ala’s Story Part 1 – Monster

All right.  Here I will begin the first part of my story, where my life changed completely.  This is bound to be a lengthy post, and I want to warn you readers that during the first few years where things changed, I had some pretty dim views on religion.  Christianity, ...

The Experience of Avatar

I will probably cry during the writing of this post. Possibly more than once. I'm just saying. Sunday when I came out of the theater as everyone else visited the restrooms, I started crying (again), hyperventilating a little and fighting to regain control of myself as people passed me entering ...

Success on Your Own Terms

I've been emailing back and forth with Tonya Kay (see thumbnail), a new writer in Rending the Veil's increasingly impressive roster of contributors. She is a uniquely special individual, and I thought I'd share some of her enthusiasm with you, along with some links. I'm not really familiar with her ...

Snow, Two Years in a Row

Hey, that rhymes. Yes, here in southeast Texas where it isn't ever supposed to snow, we've had snow already this year, and this is the second year in a row. We got almost six inches last year. If anyone's interested, I'll post pictures of today's >1-inch accumulation, and of the unprecedented ...

Filtered: Strange and Unusual Things

Well, then again, most everything on this blog is strange and unusual. heh. A woman I used to know wrote to me last night; when I read her email this morning it evoked a forgotten poem that is very important to me. I don't know how I could've forgotten it, ...

Filtered: Where To Begin…

I've been gone so long that it almost feels normal to be gone. You know how when you return from vacation, you need another vacation to use just to readjust to your normal routine? Yeah. Only this has been a working vacation. I told you about meeting my neighbor (she's ...

Holy Jeepers Creepers, Batman!

Okay, I know I'm supposed to take this sort of shit for granted, but I really don't. I'm not accustomed to big shows of physical manifestation, and they don't occur that often. But I'm sitting here at my desk, right? And the front door is right in front of me ...

Stars Tonight Were Amazing

I've never tried to photograph the stars before, but tonight as we came home from dinner, I marveled at the brightness of one near the moon. I knew it had to be a planet, but still I'd never seen a display like this before. It was huge, much brighter than ...

I didn't plan to post tonight (hey, it's still dark…), but this was too intense. First of all, let me thank those who commented to my last post. I'll answer tomorrow. I was away today, but it's been decided that Rending the Veil will go on hiatus after the Yule ...

Talk About Out On A Limb…

The other day I wrote the post "Memory Lane is Nowhere Road," a random ramble about places I used to live and people I used to know. When I was 18, I met the San Antonio-based band Heyoka and followed them closely (if not always literally) for several years, whenever ...

Miracles Really Do Happen, Sometimes

Recently, as you know, my roommate moved out, which left me in a financial crisis. I've been working on various means to improve my situation, but none of them were moving with anything approaching warp speed. I spent most of the previous week trying to keep my power from being ...
