How ‘Bout Some News?

Good evening. I know. I know. It’s been a short while since I’ve updated the blog. There is dust on the floors and desk, and oh my goodness, look at the caked on grime on the monitor. There are cobwebs in the corners and, ugghh, look at the crud on the ceiling fan blades. I’m [...]

Update 4/24/2012

Good morning, afternoon, evening wherever you may be. April has been a rough month. I won’t deny that I haven’t posted near as much as I had planned, but I have been busy and, clearly, there has been a significant change in the way I view things in my life. I could talk about a [...]

The Reconstruction Part 2

We’ve got a bit of work to do. The Upper Chassis, Lower Chassis and other parts have come in. You have to watch that Sparkitus–he has a habit of setting things on fire with his… err… sparks. I can’t leave some of these guys alone for even a minute… Looks like we may be done [...]

Horror? You Don’t Say?

What makes a horror story? Yeah, I’m just coming out and asking. Just get right into the thick of it, as some editors say. What constitutes a horror story? Why are certain stories considered horror as opposed to thriller or drama or any other genre/sub genre? Are monsters needed, such as Frankenstei

Life Is…

Life is… umm… funny sometimes. Really, it is. Ask my son as he stood at the coffee maker this morning, eyeballing it as the coffee filled the pot. For me, watching that pot would have been the same as watching grass grow or paint dry. For Logan it was anticipation, exciting, the build up before [...

The Deconstruction… err… Reconstruction of the Boy’s RC

It looks like I might be taking over this blog on occassion, you know, give the old guy a break. There’s a slight problem though. The boy has wrecked it. Yeah, yeah, you’re supposed to be able to wreck RC Cars–half the fun is seeing how many times you can flip it over or how [...]

My Wife Believes In Me and Other Notes

My wife believes in me. I’m not sure why, but I’m not about to asks questions. I just like the fact that she believes in me. She keeps me going, keeps me smiling—and for those who have known me for a long time, you know I’m not a big smiler, but when she’s around, the [...]

A Reality Check and A New Plan

Hmmm… Writers. We get stars in our eyes from time to time. We see what others are doing and we think, ‘hey, why can’t I do that?’ or ‘hey, why can’t I have that type of success?’ I don’t think that applies only to writers, but people in general. However, for writers, this business is [...]

Smile…

True story: A few years ago, when I was younger, dumber and somewhat meaner, I worked at a job I enjoyed, though I didn’t care much for my employers and their greedy ways. The hours had been packed on quite often and on one particular summer evening I was tired and heading to my car, [...]
