Biden Was Sitting Right There!!!
Just watched the Vice Presidential Debates… and jesus, was it a heated debate. Loved it. While I won’t say how I felt about the debate here, I will say that my girlfriend made me notice how much I loved Biden’s “I was sitting right there!” line every time he referred to Obama’s attempts at getting … Continue reading
My Two Cents: 5 Ways to Bring Back Wally West
With the reveal of “Daniel West” in Flash #0, the Internet’s going wild trying to figure out who the hell Daniel West is, and what does it mean for Wally West? Ever since creators Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato revealed that Francis was working on a way to re-introduce Wally to the New 52 (but … Continue reading
One Lovely Blog Nomination! One For Me, 15 For You!
If there’s one resource that’s difficult to mine as a writer, it’s motivation. Most writers I know are some of the most brilliant people I’ve ever met: but sometimes it seems like we leveled a 3 story house of mirrors, our luck is so bad. I’m not sure what we did to piss off Lady … Continue reading

Made of Earth, Made of Stars
Forgive me, this may sound crazy: a month or so ago I was pretty damn impressed by Miley Cyrus. Religious groups on the net damn near went up in arms when the young star quoted physicist Lawrence Krauss and the relationship of stars (not celebrities like Cyrus, but stars like our sun) to humans: “Forget … Continue reading
Moving On From Infinite Ammo and Getting To The Next Stage
Infinite Ammo is gone. I won’t go into the who’s and why’s here, but it has been one hell of a year working at Infinite. Getting to know the basics of online media journalism, getting to know myself better as a writer, and getting to work with other writers on a collaboration were all pretty … Continue reading
What’s Up With Dr. Pepper’s New “Manly” Ad?
Just saw today that Dr. Pepper’s released a new drink… and with it, a very male-centric commercial. Maybe it’s just me, but Dr. Pepper is the last soda I think of when I think “manly”. Matter of fact, I’m generally rather indifferent to Dr. Pepper. Not my kind of drink. But what’s with the Axe … Continue reading
Final Fantasy XIII-2 Demo Impressions
I have yet to finish Final Fantasy XIII. I loved the gameplay enough, but after a while it could feel a bit repetitive (however very different and enjoyable). The story was my biggest pet peeve, with characters playing cookie cutter roles and dialogue consisting of the most vague notions of philosophy and emotion. I was … Continue reading
No Resolutions; But Resolute
2011 was a hell of a year. Went through trying to figure out my career, seeing my job lost through bankruptcy, having numerous unsuccessful relationships, and going through some of the worst emotional distress I’ve faced since, well, 2010 (that was a bad, bad year too, perhaps worst than ’11). And yet, like any obstacle … Continue reading
