Movie Mayhem – Draft Day

The NFL draft has never interested me in the least. Probably stemming from the fact that I’ve never gone out of my way to watch football on any level (and only like watching the Super Bowl for the commercials), I never understood how spending hours with a group of commentators pontificating over analysis and theories […]

A New Venture, A New Step Forward

When my sister came out to help me at the bridal expo a couple of weekends ago, she asked (while helping to staple business cards to the back of the coupons I was going to distribute) what I was doing to market my business. Other than the expo and this blog, I was actually still […]

Movie Mayhem – Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Since 2008, when the first Iron Man hit the screens, Marvel has created a tight-knit family of films, each one developed with their own unique personality. Iron Man is the kinetically pompous, yet sympathetically thoughtful older brother; Thor is the wild-eyed young teenager who wants all of the attention; and the Hulk is the family’s […]

Movie Mayhem – Sabotage

Ever since Arnold Schwarzenegger left the Governor’s office and returned to making movies, the only films that have been worth the price of popcorn were those in which he played second fiddle to Sylvester Stallone. The only other film he’s done thus far, last year’s bomb, The Last Stand, was such a cheesy mess of […]

Kiss the Brides Wedding Expo

Believe it or not, I’ve never actually been to any type of expo before yesterday (well, actually, that’s not entirely true… I did attend Comic Con for about a half a day some years back, but I only went because someone who had a spare ticket wanted to go). I’ve always thought it would be […]

Back To Writing, and It Feels So Good…

Over the past couple of days I’ve been humming away on my new novel, Memoirs of Keladrayia: Jaxxa Rakala, the follow-up to Jaxxa Rakala: The Search, and the second book in my planned four-part Jaxxa Rakala series. As many of you may know, I started writing the book back in January, but as my career […]

Learning Is Intoxicating

Learning is one addiction that is always worthwhile, the one addiction that should always be encouraged, no matter what, simply because learning is what fuels a person’s growth and gives them the skills to move forward and rise up against failure, which in and of itself is another necessary teaching tool. As Ben Gates says […]

Movie Mayhem – Muppets Most Wanted

I’ve always been a fan of the Muppets. From their first big screen adventure, the mixed-results of their adaptations, and their lackluster attempts at television movies, I always find the positive under all of that felt. They tried to resurrect the brand in prime-time with Muppets Tonight in the nineties (which introduced a couple of […]

Take a Moment to Breathe

Sometimes, the best thing you can do is shut your brain completely down, especially after spending almost every waking hour working (well, okay, that’s probably an exaggeration, but it’s felt like every waking hour). Your brain is just an organic computer system, after all, and after running it non-stop for days on high-speed, constantly using […]

Movie Mayhem – The Art of the Steal / Need For Speed

Back in the ’80s and early ’90s, Michael Keaton and Kurt Russell were major draws. They were in the prime of their careers and could do no wrong. But as with any aging actor, a new crop of young bucks began to steal their thunder in the late ’90s, and though they never really disappeared, […]
