All Things End

The past couple of weeks have been interesting as several pop-culture phenomenon have concluded all at the same time. We have seen the end of stories about a fantasy world, political satire, superheroes, and some nerds who eat together, that have captured the collective hearts and imaginations of millions of people around the world in… […]

Weird words we use everyday

To tell you the truth I think all words are weird. Language in general is a very peculiar thing. It is just grunts and sounds arranged in a particular pattern or sequence that we have all collectively agreed has some sort of meaning. English in particular is complex and hard to learn as in it’s… […]

MET Gala 2019

I know this is a little late but I had to do a post about this year’s MET Gala. Every year the beautiful and the rich get together in an extravagant display of excess and wealth for…some reason. They choose a theme, people prepare, they make a scene, and stop for lots and lots of […]

Some Stuff

As you know, I stopped posting for over a year and started again just recently. But during that time it wasn’t that I was not writing, I just didn’t complete anything that I wrote. Currently I have 18 draft posts just sitting there waiting to be re-examined and maybe posted. Well this is one of […]

Bad Trek

The last post I wrote for this blog before I went on a ridiculously long break was about Star Trek Discovery. The show had just started, airing the first 2 episodes which created and destroyed the world I thought this story was to take place in. I had enjoyed the episodes but because I hadn’t… […]

Product placement

I still have friends that complain about product placement in movies. It used to be something that got to me as well but many years ago I kinda just got over it. Why? Because it properly reflects a realistic version of the world we live in. Look down at your clothes, look at your desk, […]

Until

Music is a strange thing. It is a series of strung together sounds that are pleasing to the listener. Unless of course you are an old crotchety man waving his stick at the damned youth of today. But music has a way of instilling emotions, making you move fast, or slowing you down for just… […]

Us movie poster. Hands holding scissors

Get untethered

I don’t like horror movies. As a young child I was afflicted with night terrors and that combined with an over active imagination did not bode well for an evening’s slumber. As I grew older the terrors waned but my dislike for horror persisted. But every once in a while a horror movie catches my… […]

Alita Battle Angel Movie Poster

If you liked the Manga…

Every once in a while I have the audacity to let someone else pick the movie I am going to watch. That is just crazy! But the other day my friend begged me to go see Alita: Battle Angel. Despite my reservations and due to him offering to pay, I said yes. This was a movie I… […]

Stop Living in the Past

Nostalgianoun a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal association something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia I get why nostalgia sells. For the most part it just makes people feel good. It is a familiarity taking you back to a […]

It’s that time of year

A Christmas message. You know this is a time of year when we think about all the unfortunate people in the world from the hooker down the street and cracked out homeless people, the needy and the truly unfortunate. Then I kind of also started to think about red light districts and drugs and… …more

Ask again later

A couple of weeks ago I went out in the cold to my storage unit to hunt down Christmas decorations. I got the old fake Christmas tree out, lights, and a whole lot of red and gold balls (Ha ha I said “balls”). In my rummaging I came across my “Magic 8-Ball”. I haven’t thought… […]

It Happened Again

So last Friday I didn’t see a movie. That is becoming too regular. I like my movies and the change of environment and even though I am hella broke it is totally worth it (most of the time) even if the movie is bad. But this is a sort of an off season for… …more

Snow Day

Well it snowed today. It is the first real snowfall of the year. There were flurries before over night but nothing stuck. The snowflakes touched the ground and their unique beauty was lost forever, it was like they never existed. But that is not the case today. They stayed. There is actual white on the… […]

Blood Blood Everywhere

Last Friday I headed out of the house hoping to see Up in the Air but when I got to my usual theatre and the movie was no where to be found on the marquee. I know that would have been the third George Clooney movie I have seen out of the last 4 but… […]

Sha na na na

Na na na na na wa yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip ma ma ma ma ma ma get a job. So the time has come. I have been home for 6 and a half weeks. I am broke and kinda bored. Plus Christmas is coming. And even though I already told everyone […]

He sure is quote, unquote…

Not long after I published my last post I was forced to become part of the functioning world again. And when I say not long I mean it was like an hour later. So that means I really only made it to like eight and a half days of being inside. Why was a forced… […]

Unipegacow

Since I have been home I have realized that my frequency of writing posts has decreased. At first I found that to be a very odd phenomenon but now that I think about it it is totally understandable. Even though I used to complain about work and how boring and/or how annoying it was it… […]

As my friend said “Toilet: New Poo”

So it is 11:57pm on Monday November 23 and I have done nothing with my day. I hate feeling sick. It robs me of everything that makes me me; my energy, creativity, willingness to do stuff. And because of this I have now not been outside in 6 days. I think I am developing cabin… […]

Dream weaver – not just software

I figured it’s time to share another dream or two with you all. So here we go. These are 2 dreams that had me rolling in the aisles, I literally woke myself up laughing –  I don’t think they all translate well and most who read this will likely not find them funny at all… […]
