The Shortcomings of Millennial Parenting

I just got back from picking up my son from school. 4th grader. He watched most of Scott Pilgrim vs The World the other night for the very first time. It finally hit him today. His friend at school is named Matthew Patel. The poor kid is being bombarded with “Ramona Flowers’ first evil ex-boyfriend” […]

Oh, the times they are a-changing…

Today is St. Patrick’s Day. I am officially Irish. Verified via DNA. I stopped drinking three years ago. I asked my son this morning, “Are you wearing anything green?” He looked confused, and then it hit me. Kids aren’t allowed to touch each other anymore. I personally don’t think this is a bad idea, because, […]

When Music Told A Story

Gen X’ers and beyond will know of that which I speak. Many moons ago, artists would write dozens of songs rather than chirping the buzz words of the week into a computer. Also, record producers knew the ebb and flow of energy in albums. You can’t learn that stuff in college. Now, forty people work […]

Prime The Pump.

Confusion has settled in so hard this morning. I’m sitting in the sniper perch pecking away at nothingness because I can’t seem to get in the proper frame of mind to write anything truly constructive. Then what is this, you ask? Bite me. lol I have thirteen original songs that I need to fine tune […]

I Finally Watched “Se7en”(after intentionally dodging it for 30 years)

I mean, why would I watch it? It was the year 1995, I was going through my first divorce, my first kid was an infant, and it was about cops solving a religious murder. I didn’t care about either of those things thirty years ago same as I don’t today. Still, I was tired of […]

Now Is The Time Of Monsters

Let’s set the tone… This meme took me by surprise this morning. I guess I hadn’t thought of it in these terms until now. Let me give you a more nerd-friendly example. Remember in The Lord of the Rings when the men and the darker things of Middle-Earth decided they wanted to duke it out, […]

How? With What?

My cat has a perch in our upstairs bathroom. Without fail, she aims her eyes at my junk whenever I go in there to pee. She’s judging me!

Rigid Force Alpha?

Afternoon procrastination and chill

Mountain Dew and a Wake-Up Call

First of all, I’m a writer, not a graphic artist. I have never and will never let AI touch my writing, other than ‘spell check’ on Microsoft Word. Sometimes, I let AI read a blog and ask it to come up with a photo that resembles the story. AI is like that scary, new friend […]
