Monday, October 26, 2009. Autogenesis: The Terminator and the Art of Self-Conception. Posted by Ryan Placchetti. I feel like this could still use some tweaking.

Sunday, April 13, 2008. A Resolve to Confess and Some Adam Blue Updates. Posted by Ryan Placchetti. It's strange, that in spite of all the struggles I've had with faith and the concept of religion, I've never had any doubt about fate. Maybe that's how it starts? It's already begun to propel my writing again, a small difference with a very big impact on how I view myself and my accomplishments as a person. Who knows what other parts of my life will be affected? I might even go for a run, but admittedly I ...
