To My Nana
I can’t write a goodbye letter. It doesn’t seem right. Not because I’m afraid to let you go. I understand why you left. I understand how. It all makes sense to me. Soon it’ll make sense to everyone. But things happen in their own time. It’s because you didn’t leave. Physically, we both know the [...]

Introducing SARIEL!
The seraph, Sariel, made her introduction in The Road to Hell when Michael conscripted her into duty in the War for Peace. With a single sentence, she became a commander in the Father’s army. A sword of justice. A judge of her peers. Executioner of the wicked. In Come Hell or High Water, Sariel must [...]

So…Now What?
Party people in the place to be! Throw yo hands up! Throw yo hands up! Ooohh, wrong blog, huh? My bad. Thought you logged onto The Heat, Sirius channel 47, didn’t ya? Truth is, I’ve been gone so long, I forgot what channel I’m on. Or what I’m supposed to be writing. And that, my [...]

Do As I Say, Not As I Do or How I Became DMFRH
A week ago, I wrote a post called Stop Being Stupid and said I was going to use it as my upcoming political campaign slogan. I probably should have re-read it before my antics this week. I am so anti-stupidity, I have this thing I say: “I’m a lot of things; stupid is not one [...]

Stop Being Stupid!
The events of the last few weeks have given me something I haven’t had before: perspective. Perspective lets you step back from your current situation to see where you fit in a larger context. Perspective makes you say things like “There but for the grace of God go I” or “Life is short” or “Shit [...]

You Know What…?
I always say if I start a sentence with “You know what…?” that nothing good can follow. I started my post that way—that should give you a clear indication of where I am right now. FYI, I’m cursing A LOT in this post—you know how it goes… There’s a lot of stuff going on in [...]

Guest Post: Noah Murphy talks Superheroes and Ethereal Girls
A little bit ago, I told you about a guy I consider a literary hero–Noah Murphy. Noah writes want he wants to write, the way it should be written and he doesn’t give a damn who doesn’t like it. Well, he probably does give a little it of a damn, but it doesn’t have that [...]

Shit Just Got Real
I think I’ve looked at 50 or so villains since I started this series in April. We’re talking movie villains, TV villains, comic book and soap opera and Disney villains. And in that review, I’ve found the dastardliest villain of them is…waiting. In the movies, that feeling of suspense, that “edge of your seat, I [...]

MAYHEM OF THE MOUSE MAD, MAD WEEKEND #2: YZMA #mayhemofthemouse
Your girl’s weight loss plan is a little extreme, wouldn’t you say? Yzma is the fourth and final villain in today’s lengthy episode of the Mad, Mad Weekend Part TWO (part two!) or, as it is affectionately referred to here, “Godammit, I’m so far behind!” As Disney movies go, I kinda liked this one. It [...]
MAYHEM OF THE MOUSE MAD, MAD WEEKEND #2: SHERE KHAN #mayhemofthemouse
As I go through this process of enumerating awesome Disney villains, I realize how many Disney movies I either never saw or simply didn’t like. The Jungle Book falls into the latter. I ain’t like this one. The Jungle Book is based on Rudyard Kipling’s stories and tells the story of Mowgli, an abandoned boy [...]
