In Lieu of Fiction
Say what you want about the man… his voice and moves changed the face of music. I hope he’s in a better place now, free of pain and hate. We miss you, Michael. It’s close to midnight and something evil’s lurking in the dark Under the moonlight, you see a sight that almost stops your… Continue reading In Lieu of Fiction
The Fine Art of Selling Yourself
So you’ve written the next great American novel, or at least a Twilight-killer. It sits pristinely on your desk or hard drive and you can’t wait to get it into the hands of the public who are hungry for something new and interesting to take them away from the dark soul-draining mire of everyday life,… Continue reading The Fine Art of Selling Yourself
Running a Bit Behind
The good thing about having a real job is keeping busy and feeling like a professional, from constructive meetings to wall-banging over client idiocy. The bad thing is less time to invest in things like writing and blogging. I’ve known what I wanted to blog about but haven’t had the time during the day to… Continue reading Running a Bit Behind
"Fake" news vs. "Real" news.
I was planning on writing some fiction today. It’s Friday, after all, and that’s the schedule I established for myself. But in light of last night’s riveting discussion about abortion on The Daily Show, and seeing the continuing anti-Obama rhetoric spewing out of various conservative camps, it was time for me to discuss why I… Continue reading "Fake" news vs. "Real" news.

For a while, the former sidekick of the original Cap, Bucky Barnes, has been wearing the blue and wielding the shield, carrying on Cap’s legacy the best way he knows how.

Fly Me To BlizzCon
BlizzCon is the annual convention of all things Blizzard, held in Anaheim, California. Panels will be held for all of Blizzard’s upcoming products, from class balance in World of Warcraft to the latest buzz about Diablo 3. Given it’s location and the rarity of tickets, I always figured it’d be highly unlikely that I’d ever… Continue reading Fly Me To BlizzCon
Blog Schedule
It’s been too long since I’ve updated this space, and for that I apologize. I think what I need to do is lay out a schedule for updates and stick to it. So, here’s my plan: Mondays – Movies & Events.

Why I'm playing WoW again.
I’ve flounced around on a few different MMOGs in my past. I cut my teeth and damaged my first marriage with EverQuest. I started playing World of Warcraft after that, and have dabbled in varying degrees with EverQuest 2, Warhammer Online, Age of Conan, Eve Online and City of Heroes/Villains. I beta’d Planetside and Tabula… Continue reading Why I'm playing WoW again.
