Hey There,

I joined Maniac Nebula as a social forum many years ago.  Maniac Nebula has had a profound affect on my life.  I was lost (and I’m not saying I’m not lost now) and it gave me direction.  It gave me friends I otherwise wouldn’t have had.  I started writing an autobiography in 2018, and it went to the backburner.  I’ll explain all of this right now.

My name is Braden Callypso.  I didn’t tell anyone my real name for a long, long time.  You’re not supposed to at conspiracy forums.  Why?  Because we’re studying the secrets of powerful people, and TPTB would just as soon that we all shut up, curl in a ball, and stay in a corner.  They’re always trying to figure out who we are.  After they find out, weird stuff starts to happen.  My autobiography is called Blunder.  You’ll have to read it for further details.

When I first joined Maniac Nebula, I was shocked.  The personalities were amazing!  The first girl who would talk to me was Faded Mars Morticia.  Her avatar was hilarious!  It was a chick flipping the bird to whoever was taking her picture.  She posted a lot of music videos, and she liked Eek a Mouse.  That kind of got me into reggae.  I followed in her footsteps, and I took interests in things she was interested in.  She was big into alternate timelines, for example.  Long story short, Faded Mars Morticia decided to out herself one day!  She changed her screen name to her real life first name!  I was impressed, and it’s a stage not everyone reaches.  My name is Braden Callypso, and it took years for me to feel comfortable with who I was to these Maniacs at the Nebula.

I had a horrible relationship with my father in 2018, and I was trying to make things better.  That’s one of the reasons I started writing Blunder.  They say that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  I figured if I could tell my dad exactly how I felt, we could work through our issues.  It was important to me, and for a while, I thought it was going to work.

It didn’t work.

The whole thing blew up in my face.  I thought about “Blunder” as a mantra.  I thought about real life blunders in sports and engineering.  Bill Buckner’s flub with the baseball going through his legs in the World Series against the Mets comes to mind.  Scott Norwood missing the kick at the end of the Bills/ Giants Super Bowl.  There’s a lot of things that are in our collective minds, and all of us desperately don’t want to be remembered that way.  None of us wants to make a blunder so huge that it defines who we are.  I thought about engineering blunders.  There was a bridge that was poorly designed, and it started wavering during a storm.  The bridge didn’t make it, and it collapsed.  As I write this in 2025, I watched something tragic in a YouTube short clip.  Somewhere in Asia, they had a thrill ride which swung people over the side of a cliff.  So many things are AI-generated now, that I couldn’t know if this was real or not, but the contraption didn’t hold.  The ride lost its mounting, and it was lunged into a deep canyon along with people inside.  Tragic.  And a blunder.

I started Blunder, my autobiography, in 2018.  I was giving my dad copies of it as I went along.  Was this wise?  I’m not sure, but I’ll repeat that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  My relationship with him was already bad, and my hope was that he could identify problems we had.  We could work on them, and our relationship would cease to be dysfunctional.  Shit hit the fan, and I wound up bouncing around the country, and the world.  Without spoiling the book, I’ll say that politics had something to do with it.  You’ll have to read for details, but his politics were more important than family.  I write about that, and I can’t emphasize it enough.  It’s sad.  Our world is polarized, and I don’t believe it was always this way in our culture.  I had a shaky relationship with my sister, Chloe, and I wind up writing about it at the end of Blunder.  I take a crack at creative writing, and I wrote as a character named Doug.  I hope you enjoy it.

Besides Faded Mars Morticia, I became friends with Space Ghost.  We didn’t get along at the beginning, but we met up in real life.  He had issues with his father, as well.  His issues were different than mine, though.  His father disappeared in 2003.  He was sailing near Madagascar, and his ship vanished.  Most people believe it sank, but others speculated there was a dimension door it went through, much like the Bermuda Triangle.  Why?  There was a survivor named Desmond Severns.  He was a physics teacher, and when he was discovered, his hair had turned gray, and he claimed he was away for ten thousand years!  Wow!  Right?  Are we supposed to believe him though?  Do you believe every single person who says they were abducted by aliens, then anal probed?

I hope you like Blunder.  If you’re new to Maniac Nebula, and the rest of these conspiracy forums, it’ll give you a clue about what goes on here.  I know I’ve been told that Sheeple Gateway is not a conspiracy forum.  It’s a middle ground between the Sheeple and the Theorists, but if you stick around long enough, you’ll hear a tale or two about the Illuminati and other world powers.  You’ll hear some strange stories about Sasquatch.  Someone might even suggest you meet up at Area 51.  Those kinds of things happen when you’re around this crowd.

The last thing I wanted to mention was Rod.  He’s a guy from Maniac Nebula, and Rod is a nickname he had since childhood.  He was working on his own autobiography, and he inspired me to finish my own.  Like I said, I started Blunder, things with my dad went South, I started bouncing around, and Blunder started collecting dust.  I met up with Rod in Las Vegas in 2021.  We decided to write a three-part book.  He would finish his work (it took him until Labor Day in 2023), I would finish mine, and we’d do something jointly in the middle.  The result was Rod, Vegas, Blunder.  If you go to the home page of:

... there’s a copy there.  Today is the first day I’m releasing my portion separate from his.  Why did I wait so long?  I’m not really sure.  My dad is out of my life, and Blunder as a project didn’t go as I hoped.  I’m okay with this, though.  I don’t want to live a lie, and I know where I stand.  Like I said, in these polarized times, people have chosen politics over family.  I believe my dad did that with me, and it’s something I’ve dealt with.  I have enough closure that I don’t lose sleep.  Lastly, I wanted to mention that Blunder delves into some of the conspiracies we talked about back in 2018.  There was an issue with insane wildfires.  We discussed Directed Energy Weapons (DEWs), and HAARP which allegedly was involved in beaming thoughts into people’s brains!  We discussed Remote Neural Monitoring, and we discussed space aliens!  It’s a fun read, but there’s serious issues underneath.

Glad To Be Here,

-- Braden Callypso

That was really good stuff!  I'm glad we got to meet online at Maniac Nebula,
and I'm glad we got together in real life to talk about the Santa Rosa fires.
