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 […]

Post – well sort of book review

I’ve known it for some time and I don’t know why I just didn’t listen to myself but I guess I just wanted to give it another try. I wanted to believe that I was or am open to all forms of story telling in the written format. ALAS it’s just not true. I… …more

Traffic Ballet

I was driving into work this morning and was a little awed. I know, who can be awed in traffic? But listen. There is an intricacy that happens on the road with cars weaving in and out of lanes, turn signals and non turn signals alike, break lights, the whole nine yards. I thought… …more

Definitely Not a John Hughes

I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Everywhere people were talking about Bruno. Asking “Are you going to see Bruno?” I was getting so sick of it. No I am not seeing it now or in the near future. Why? Because Sacha Baron Cohen is over-rated. There is a fine line between offensive and outrageous… […]

Mwaaa ha ha ha!

I love and hate to laugh at work. I work in a small office. On a day when everyone is in there is a whopping 6 people occupying the space, and that includes me. So there is not much room to breathe or have some privacy or anything. It can be a little… …more

He was a bank robber, right?

This weekend I saw Public Enemies…And that is pretty much all I have to say about it. The movie has left such a small impression on me that I can barely recall the happenings of the film. The movie was… …more

Isn’t that nice?

I was bored and playing games online when I came across this. I know it doesn’t fit but I thought it was cute and I wanted to share. Enjoy. The embedding doesn’t seem to want to work anymore so go here. Tra… …more

10 Provinces, 3 Territories

I know I should have posted this yesterday but I was really busy doing a whole lot of nothing. I mean what are you supposed to do with a holiday in the middle of the week? You can’t go nuts cuz you won’t have a day to recoup and nothing was open. I really shouldn’t… […]

Boom Boom Blah

After the crazy sad week that was last week I was ready to go out and have some fun. I needed to see shit blow up. I went to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I know it wasn’t the best movie to cheer myself up but I just couldn’t say no to explosions and… […]

RIP MJ

As most people already know and have heard Michael Jackson died yesterday at the relatively young age of 50. The whole world stopped in shock to mourn his sudden passing. michael-jackson-ben-j I myself have been struck hard by… …more

The Odd Couple

I love music, all kinds of music. When it comes to music there is no point in closing off an avenue where you might hear a sound, beat, or lyrics that may change your world. It could be hip-hop, disco, rock, pop, ska, trip-hop, electronic, and everything in-between. I myself have an eclectic mixture on… […]
