It’s Been a Year Since I Got My Life Back
April 13, 2011, I had back surgery. I don’t remember much about that day, other than how terrified I was going into the surgery and how good the drugs they give you for surgery really work. I can’t believe it’s been a year. My back first went out in April, 1999. For twelve years, I … Continue reading
And So It Went: The 168 Film Project for 2012
For the last two weeks, I’ve been engrossed—obsessed may be a better word—in completing my entry for the 168 Film Project. The story of how it got made is filled with as much drama as the movie itself. First, the backstory. I first became enamored with the 168 Project during my visit to Los Angeles … Continue reading
Buy My Book! Or, Yanno, Don’t.
Dallas had been acting strange all morning, so I poured a handful of Cheerios into my hand and laid them on the my for him. After receiving this vaguely bored, mostly questioning look from Dallas, and not wanting the Cheerios to go to waste, I started picking off one at a time and eating them … Continue reading
My Journey as a Writer
For about ten years, I pursued writing with a zeal. But being a Christian, and being involved in a charismatic church where reality wasn’t always as valued as perception, I started feeling like I should be writing Christian fiction. Now, I know Christian fiction gets banged on for being sub-par, much like Christian music. It’s … Continue reading
Dude! You’re Hatin’ on a COW!
Among the many things I first became acquainted with in college was Kat Williams, a pro-marijuana (among other things) comedian whose Pimp Chronicles DVD is equal parts silliness, social commentary, and a scathing, profanity-laced analysis of the human condition. Williams’ humor works so well because so much of it rings so true regardless of who you … Continue reading
Yes, I Road Rage
I use to joke about having one of those de-motivational posters with a poster of a NASCAR crash and the caption, “Road Rage: The Art of Making Lifelong Enemies During a Fifteen Minute Commute.” People just don’t get the joke. Someone once suggested I replace the NASCAR picture with a picture from a traffic jam. … Continue reading
So, I did it. I ordered an Amazon Fire.
Yesterday at 10:00 am CST, I ordered an Amazon fire. Pretty much the instant the link came up in the live blog I was following, I clicked and ordered. Now I have to ask myself, why?
My Crazy Fling with STARGATE UNIVERSE
STARGATE UNIVERSE ended its run last night with an episode that was both strangely perfect as a finale and left so much open for continuation of the series. I was in Los Angeles when I first heard about STARGATE UNIVERSE. A friend of mine urged me to watch it on Netflix. The show had already … Continue reading
A Little Bit About Me
I started the blog last week with this awkward post called “Awkward Introduction“. It was purposefully vague so I could feel out the new blog, the placement of the social media buttons, and just dip my toe in the waters. I figure now, since it’s been a week, it’s time for a real introduction.
