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… […]

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 […]

More like Crazy Things

I worked in a bookstore for years. In the kids section there was a book I regularly had to find for people that was always in stock. There was a monster, a sail boat, some trees, and in big bold letters across the top it said “Where the Wild Things Are.” I must have picked… […]

Time Filler

On Tuesday I quit my job. I think I did the right thing. I am sleeping more, I feel rested, and I am not utterly annoyed at the end of the day. There is only one regret I have though. I had a post all prepared to be posted and I didn’t and it is… […]

My Horse Is Amazing

As I mentioned in the previous post I am unemployed. I don’t think I will even start the job hunt until next week but until then I think I will be home for the most part, contemplating the existence of things, exploring the depths of my subconscious and watching this (NSFW). It will blow… …more

Review

No, I didn’t take the time to think up a good title for this post cuz I had a bad day yesterday. Like really, really bad. It was so bad that I quit my job and that was at lunch. And that was because people are expletive worse-expletive expletive bastards. The day did not get… […]

Rule #17: Enjoy the little things

I know this is late. I was busy at work yesterday and today really and I wasn’t able to post this. But I am so excited to say that Zombieland is good. That is right. I almost couldn’t… …more

Don’t look, Don’t Listen

My mother is old school. To her swearing is only done by bad people and is horribly offensive. But with today’s culture swearing is still vulgar but is not offensive if used in a non malicious manner. So if some is thrown in regular conversation it is no big deal to most of us. Yes… […]

Not Impressed

This weekend I had to choose when I was off to the theatre. There were 2 movies I wanted to see that were both sci-fi and I wasn’t expecting much from either of them. There was Surrogates which looked interesting and kinda lame at the same time but it had Bruce Willis and I do… […]

Zombie Safe?

Today I didn’t go to work. I woke up with a massive headache, feeling a bit nauseous, and generally unwell. So I decided this is not a day to force myself to sit at a desk and be yelled at on the phone about things I care not about. I have slept for something like… […]
