So I was at work the other day shelving books when I spotted a title that interested me. Usually I pull out my phone and scan the cover in the Amazon app to download a sample. In this case the book was on sale for cheap so I went right ahead to buy it. Only, …
Just Published
A big shoutout and thank you to the editors over at Deep Overstock for selecting a piece of mine for their Spring issue: Superheroes. I was excited to provide a piece for this issue as my grandfather was one of the artists who worked on the Captain America comics in the late forties. I've grown …
Morality Sopranos Style
I've recently returned to watching The Sopranos and I find it oddly still resonating 13 years after it ended. As a fan of mob stories I shouldn't be too surprised, but in such changed world from the start of the millennium I do find it interesting. Maybe nothing's changed, maybe everything has, but one thing …
New TikToc Channel

Missed Opportunity
I've finished watching all 98 episodes of Star Trek Enterprise some 15 years after it went off the air. Is it deserving of the moniker, "the show that killed Star Trek"? Probably not, but it certainly is my least favorite of the franchise. I do think it is a perfect example of a show that …

Scammy Scammers and How They Scam

I’ve Dropped Facebook
It feels so freeing to say that. As of today, Friday August 13th I have deactivated and deleted my Facebook account. Facebook lately has just become a den of racism and misinformation. Not to mention scams. I’ve been stung three times. The first two were for small amounts, items I never received. The last one …

(Not) Writing In a Pandemic
I originally was going to call this post, "Writing In a Pandemic." Unfortunately I haven't been doing much of that. At first I was really down on myself for letting all this free time go to waste, but as I talked to more writers I found that this seems to be the situation for many. …
I’m a Terrible Writer
There, I said it. Though I feel I may need to clarify things. My writing is not terrible, I'm just very bad at sitting down to write. If anything these last few weeks inside have made me realize all the excuses I've made for not finishing this or starting that are just excuses. Time is …
