My 2014 Author Introspection + Updates!

When I realized I wanted to be an author, it came to be […]

The Fall Of Utopia

I loved the FOX Series Utopia. I checked the websites, I watched the livestreams and I made sure to watch every episode as soon as I could. So when FOX abruptly cancelled the show, just a couple of months into the yearlong “experiment,” I was devastated. Over time, I’m sure I’ll recover, but I have given thought to the show’s unfortunate demise.

FOX was overly ambitious with this show. They plugged it as a yearlong experiment, there were ads everywhere, and they even set up a live stream into...

Sex, Drugs, and Rock N’ Roll – My Review of DEVIL MUSIC by Carly Orosz

For best results, you may want to listen to “Sympathy for the Devil” as you read this.

It’s not often that I pair music with my reviews, so you know that Devil Music is something special. First off, let me say this: This book is long. Really long. Normally, I’m reading two books a week in an effort to actually meet my GoodReads reading challenge for 2014. I’m not going to make it. But when I have books like Devil Music slowing me down, well, I suddenly don’t care about my reading challenge. So...

From the Author’s Desk: An Update

What’s going on? Yes, I heard your question. (Strange enough, you can send voice through these magic boxes just by whispering to your screen)

Well, over the past few months, I have been struggling with depression, the deep, dark, monster that has ruled my life for far too long. My desire to be a better father and husband has led me to seek help. For those interested in that journey, it can be found on my YouTube channel.

But what does all of this mean? That’s where the fun comes in. Currently,...

His Other Reviews: I Wanna Marry Harry

Damn. This show isn’t about Daniel Radcliff. In other news, the acronym for this blog series is sounding more and more accurate. (I’ll wait) Get it?

So, here’s another show where they round up a bunch of desperate women and force them to act like catty bitches in order to “win” a man. Have I mentioned that I hate “reality” TV?

Instead of a regular relationship that is based off several small lies, IWMH is building a relationship off one BIG lie. It’s not like you saying during your first date “...

His Other Reviews: The Bachelorette Season 10, Episode 1

In one of my early reviews (HERE) I admitted that I had watched an episode of The Bachelor with my wife. Sadly, I’m still watching this inane show. Why? Because I love my wife and we reached a compromise. She gets to watch her reality garbage and I get to make jokes during it. To an extent.

But I realized I was getting the short end of the stick on this one. So, now I’m reviewing these on a weekly basis (I hope) so my wife now gets emails when I make fun of her show.

Well, let’s get reviewing t...

Review: EXODUS 2022 by Kenneth G. Bennett

So Long & Thanks for All the Fish

Those that know me, know that I’m not big on environmentalism. I know, Native American that’s not an environmentalist? It’s shocking. I think it’s egotistical to assume we can “Save the Planet.” The issue isn’t the planet. It’s us. We’ve realized too late the impact that we’ve made isn’t affecting us positively, now we want things to go back to normal. Well, sorry, the buffalo are gone and we’ll follow soon enough. Our ruins will dot the earth for a time befor...

Review: Subliminal Messiah by Anthony David Jaques

“ So naive

I keep holding on to what I want to believe

I can see

But I keep holding on and on and on and on”

- Nine Inch Nails – The Hand That Feeds

Yeah, that’s different. I normally don’t start my reviews off with a song lyric, but Subliminal Messiah is different and kept mentioning Nine Inch Nails songs. And what can I say? I’m a big fan of Academy Award Winner Trent Fucking Reznor (Yes, that’s his full name, just like how you have to add the Sir to Sir Ben Kingsley. But I digress.)

If you’ve rea...

Review: The Atheist’s Prayer by Amy R. Biddle

Do you remember when the Hale-Bopp comet was passing through our night sky in 1997? No? Well, how about when about 40 members of the Heaven’s Gate cult committed suicide in order to hitch a ride on the UFO that was trailing behind that comet? That probably sounds a bit more familiar.

Of course, that was what really stood out about The Atheist’s Prayer. Reality. There are these suicide cults out there and they have belief and conviction. No one knows just what they’re capable of. So when Amy R....

Yes, I’m Really Leaving Facebook

Why I’ve decided to quit Facebook.

You may have seen recently my post discussing the change of social media (or at least how I’ve viewed the change of social media). After writing that post I’ve come to a rather simple but unusual decision. What did I decide? Well, I’ve decided to quit Facebook.

Yes, I know there are hundreds of posts everyday about someone claiming to quit Facebook or erase friends if they don’t share a status or comment on a picture. Well, unlike those cry for help posts, I’m...
