When Doge Memes Collide: Doge Hybrids

I have a serious addiction to memes. Yes, I love cat memes, space kitteh especially. But nothing…NOTHING…compares to my love of Doge. Ah, Doge, wow, much love, such funny, do want, very laugh, so meme. I have a shirt with Doge drawn like the Stark Dire Wolf. It says “wow, such winter, is coming, much cold.”

And of course, there’s this…

It doesn’t get geekier, or creepier than that.

Now anyone can make an ordinary Doge meme, but I’m going for something different (because I’m different). Here are...

The Past Comes Back

I don’t write many personal posts anymore, but something happened this week that shook me so bad, I’m still in “Crisis Mode.”

For a little over two months now, I’ve been dating someone. Things have been great, and I’ve final found someone that I have a connection with. It’s the first person that I’ve felt this way about since Valerie died.

Most of you don’t know: My girlfriend Valerie Z. Lewis passed away very suddenly on January 24th, 2013. In two weeks, it’ll be two years. She had recently mo...

My Favorite Christmas Songs…WTF Edition

I love Christmas, even though I’m Jewish. I celebrate both holidays (in a way) because most of my friends are Christians and I like the traditions. I even like the music, although by now I’m over it. They started playing Christmas music before Thanksgiving, and I can’t take it any more.

That said, I have a few favorites that you don’t often hear on the radio or at the supermarket (a few of them you do, but they’re still awesome). Some of them you might like, some…you get the idea.

Here they are...

Feliz Navidad…He-Man!!

Even Skeletor is in the Christmas spirit.

You can also purchase my debut novel, Song of Simon, at any online bookstore or a real one (you’ll probably have to order it). Of course, you can always buy an autographed one from me, just send me a message. Song of Simon currently has a 4.8/5.0 rating on Amazon, so people seem to like it. If you’re looking for something FREE, you can read my serial (soon to b...

The Interview, and What it Means for Free Speech

I did not intend to see The Interview, even though I am a fan of Seth Rogan and James Franco. I liked the concept, but it seemed a bit goofy.

It looked like North Korea didn’t get the goofy part.

Yeah, looks serious

You know what happened next.The NK govt hacked Sony and released all sorts of embarrassing crap and exposed the company for the racist, classist, shit bags that we all suspected they were. I found this rather amusing, as I love when elitist pricks get knocked down. I thought that it...

My Geekiness Runneth Over

Woot! D&D AND WWE’s TLC (and S) today and tonight!

Also, if you didn’t see NXT’s [R]Evolution last week, you missed the best ppv of the year. I don’t want to give anything away, but it started with Kevin Owens (Steen), climaxed with Neville and Sami Zayn, and ended with the best heel turn since Shawn Michaels kicked Marty Jannetty through a plate glass window.

I’ll leave you with this ear worm. OLE!

I’m Not Dead Yet…

I’m getting better.

Last week I had a bit of a medical scare. It was actually a ginormous medical scare. I accidently took a double dose of my medicine and had a very bad reaction to it. It was so bad that when they rushed me to the hospital, triage immediately ushered me inside. You have to be in imminent danger to get that kind of treatment.

All the messy part aside, I came out ok, but my face looked like raw hamburger for days. It was so bad that I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror....

What It’s Like to be a Jets Fan

I went to the Jets-Dolphins game Monday night, where we lost with a minute remaining in the game.

The blurry guy is me. I’m pretty damn die hard.

Aside from the usual cast I go with (this time only my friend Sean) we brought a newcomer, who had never been to a game before. The loss was the perfect introduction into what it’s like to be a Jets fan. They make you dream, and then they crush those dreams in a barrage of blocked punts and butt fumbles.

I’ve said it before, but it deserves repeating...

Why I’m Choosing to Self Publish

After months of contemplation, I decided to self-publish my historical-fantasy series, The Watchmage of Old New York. This is a huge sea change for me. My first novel, Song of Simon, was published by Damnation Books. It’s always been my dream to be a published novelist, and I’ve been very resistant to self publishing. But a wise man isn’t afraid to rethink his views, and I’ve come around. I’ll explain more below.

Some of you know Watchmage from JukePop Serials, where it was and is one of the m...

And Now…CATS IN HATS!! More Cat Memes

Yes, it’s Caturday, and today’s installment of “Craig’s ridiculous cat pics” is Cats Wearing Hats. Can you stand the adorablosity? Probably not. You might need someone to clean up your brains after they explode.

It’s not exactly a hat, but it’s ridiculous. I promise, the other ones are all hats.

Olde timey banker cat will foreclose on your farm.

Please sir, I want some more…
