Fat Mogul vs. The 500

A pretty big milestone occurred last week without me noting it.  This blog has officially surpassed the 500 posts mark.  That’s right, I have spent time on over 500 days to put some completely worthless piece of drivel out here just so I don’t put it into my books.  According …

Fat Mogul vs. Allergies

I’ve struggled with allergies for as long as I can remember.  In fact, one of my first memories is of being taken to see the doctor after being covered in hives from swimming at a local watering hole (or lake, you know…whatever).  Seeing as my allergies have consisted of pretty …

Fat Mogul vs. Candy Crush Saga

I’m going to let you in on a little secret….I’ve been playing Candy Crush Saga…for a while now. That’s right.  All you folks who have sent me countless invites to play so we can exchange whatever random crap gets exchanged in that game…I’ve been living a lie when I reject …

Book Review: Ashlynn’s Dreams by Julie C. Gilbert

Note for those of you who care about such things:  I did receive a free copy of this book in return for an honest review. As is true for way too many books that I read, I went into this one with absolutely no clue what I was diving into. …

Fat Mogul vs. Fridays

Right now, and for the past couple months, my wife has not worked on Fridays… That means that right now, and for the past couple months, my kids have been home on Fridays… I work from home every day…including Fridays… I love Fridays, I really do.  Everyone across the world …

Fat Mogul vs. Dreaming Big

If there could be one thing about myself that I probably attempt to hide more than any other thing, it’s quite possibly my tendency to dream big.  It might also be my love of places like Disney World…but that’s a discussion for a different day. It’s the truth though, I …

Book Review: Romance for Men: Pandora’s Box by Jack Icefloe Jackson

DISCLAIMER #1: I received a free copy of this book from the book’s publicist in exchange for an honest review.  (well, they might not have said anything about honest reviews, but that’s what they’re getting anyway) DISCLAIMER #2: This might not be a book for the more moral-focused on my …

Fat Mogul vs. Fast Food

I’m not going to pretend that I’ve ever had any sort of real battle with weight issues.  I mean, I’ve always tried to keep fairly active, but even when I go into a slump and do nothing at all, my weight doesn’t generally fluctuate all that much.  Heck, I’m still …

Book Review: My Life Without Me by Jaclyn Aurore

Frequent mogulers will recognize the name of the author of this book.  Jaclyn Aurore is a pretty regular friend of the blog, as well as a friend of my own.  As one of the first author friends I made when exploring the cyber-sectors of author-dom, Jaclyn has been a great …

Fat Mogul vs. Sequels, Remakes, and Rehashing

I love the entertainment of my childhood.  1985 is quite simply the best year ever for film.  Movies like The Goonies, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, The Breakfast Club, Spies Like Us, D.A.R.Y.L., Fletch, Weird Science, Red Sonja, and Clue are all ones that will live on in my heart and …
