Notes from the Wagon Train – Version 2
I said I wouldn’t do this shit again. If you recall, about a year ago, I carted my monkey ass across this great nation of ours, from Seattle to Tampa. We were a caravan of a 26-foot truck, 3 kids, 2 cars and a dog. I lost my shit in the mountains, my niece lost […]

The Avengers: Age Of Awesome (I mean Ultron) and How Marvel Changed Storytelling
Welcome back! And today, we’re talking the about Avengers. And, for real, do I have to put the “spoiler alert” on this? Seriously? I gave you 2 ½ weeks—you know I was in the theater the day before it came out—okay, fine, I’m probably gonna fuck it up so if you haven’t seen it don’t […]

WHATCHOOTALKIN’ BOUT TUESDAY: Why I Hate 12!
Remember this? And if you do, your age is showing. Since I’ve been giving you some weighty, Debbie Downer style posts since I got back, I figure it’s probably time for me to give you something a little lighter, a little more fun, a little more…me. Y’all remember the Honey Badger, right? Cute kid, does […]

I’m Not Scared of Girls – Why I’ll See the New Mad Max Movie
Son, we need to talk. We need to talk about Mad Max. And I’m kinda disgusted I have to have this conversation at all. Actually, we need to talk about the women in the new Mad Max movie. Seriously.

Tears for Baltimore
I am pissed. I���m supposed to be talking about the new Avengers movie (which I���ve seen 3 times already) or even that wack-ass Mayweather-Pacquaio fight (I REALLY want my $100 back) or even talking through Netflix���s amazing Daredevil show. But I can���t. There���s bigger fish to fry. And pissed doesn���t even cover it. Pissed is […]

It’s Been A Long Time
I missed this place…the sights, the smells. The Swoaps. I probably should have cleaned up though. But I have to say, it���s kinda nice to be missed. As writers, we pray that our words touch someone, impact them in some way. We hope the things we write matter to someone outside of ourselves. That���s the […]

Saturday Night Fiend: Misogyny Part II
I know you think I don’t love you. I know you get tired of me sweeping in and out of your life, one day I’m here and have a schedule and the next I’m off in radio silence. Yeah, well sometimes it be’s like that. Actually, I haven’t said anything because I haven’t had much […]
