Ars Gratia Artis

It is amazing how much of an obnoxious snob I can be without a legitimate understanding of art… or a bachelor’s degree in Film or English. I am of the opinion that in order for a work to be considered “art”, it needs to evoke an emotion and have some sort of redeeming value. For [...]

The Worst Song Ever

There has been much debate over the worst song ever made. “We Built This City (On Rock N Roll)”, “The Macarena”, “Barbie Girl”, “MmmBop”, and so on and so forth. Here to make those songs sound like Beethoven’s Ninth: “Freaxxx” by Brokencyde.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you not simply the worst, most sonically offensive [...]

The Wrestler

This is a quick update, because I have a lull in work and I want to bring this movie to the attention of the five strung-out, Internet addicts that visit my page like its a Hajj to Mecca. Yes I just dropped some knowledge of Islam on you, deal with it. “The Wrestler” is [...]

Random Thoughts, Random Things

Did you ever notice that when ever you draw a generic human face with no descernible features, it ends up looking scarily similar to Jason Taylor? I have half of Jason Taylor’s face in the margain of my my to-do list, drawn with a creepy realistic eye, and its starting to freak me out. I [...]

Retractions and Omelets

I’ve never been a fan of censorship, and (until I have kids) I probably never will be. That said I don’t consider it censorship when you stop yourself from saying something stupid… or in this case: writing it. As such I have removed a post I wrote last night around 3am. I don’t know how [...]

The Cultural Placebo Effect

As one of my most popular blog entries to date, I’ve decided to give “The Cultural Placebo Effect” its own page.
I’m your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill non-conformist. I spend my time not watching “The Hills” or listening to “The Pussycat Dolls,” or thinking up other ways to otherwise not confirm. I believe in some Big Brother-esque [...]

NaNoWriMo #2: ‘Cancer’ and ‘Vigilance’

Author’s Note: So I haven’t had much time to write much new stuff. Here’s a few pieces I’ve been working on recently/semi-recently. The first one is a journal entry (not my journal obviously) entitled ‘Cancer’ and the second is an excerpt from a short story that I’m trying to fix. The excerpt is entitled ‘Vigilance’.

So Much Money, So Little Imagination

So in case you’ve been living under a rock the past few weeks, you obviously haven’t heard the colossal, earth-shattering news…
…I won a $15 iTunes gift card from iGreggor’s blog: Life At (Up To) 3G Speeds. Greg announced I was the big winner in a video post a few days ago, and yesterday I got [...]

NaNoWriMo #1: Eyes of A Child

Author’s Note: I found out that November is National Novel Writing Month. The idea is to write 1,000 words a day, every day, through the month of November, trying to piece them together into some sort of narrative. A bunch of people have expressed interested in my fiction writing so I figured this would be a [...]

Why You Voted For The Right Candidate Part II

My last post as finished mere seconds before Barack Obama was declared President-Elect of the United States of America.
The concept of my post was to strike back against the portrayal of McCain and Obama by the media, by the pundits and by the cynical civilians who claimed that neither man should be president. In continuing [...]
