There is this whole line of thought that you have to put something out there, to ‘put it into the universe’ to ‘manifest’ it. So if you want to be rich you are just like - I want to be rich. If you want to be loved you say - I want to be loved. … Continue reading Putting It All Out There

Eclectic Funeral
One of those strange things we have to wrestle with as we age is that one of the rare times, and for many of us the only time, we will be celebrated (hopefully) is at our funeral, a thing we can’t consciously attend. We can’t even dictate what it really is, or means. We’re just… Continue reading Eclectic Funeral
Peace
It’s a natural part of getting older that we start to think about the end. Especially when a marital partner and kids enter the equation. In all honesty, it becomes a heavier and heavier burden as we age because we begin to see the people we love leaving us, whether we’re ready for them to… Continue reading Peace
THE OUTWATERS – found footage review
If I have ever learned anything from found footage it's never to go on an excursion with friends. It never goes well. Like, at least don't film it. Maybe that's the key. Yeah, DO NOT FILM YOUR VACATION! That's just courting disaster. I gotta be honest with you...I can't quite tell you what THE OUTWATERS… Continue reading THE OUTWATERS – found footage review
Anticipation
As a kid, I remember waiting with bated breath for fall. I was no fan of school, that’s to be sure, but I was desperate for the start of the fall cartoons and for the fall television slate. You see, in the ‘80s the fall season was when the new cartoons would debut as well… Continue reading Anticipation
Halloween Horror Curated
Hey there, if you're like me and love Halloween then darn it, there's something just for you! This is a great magazine from Horroraddicts.net and I have a piece in this issue about my favorite holiday and it's pretty rad. Some great folks and great articles in this one so give it a whirl, won't… Continue reading Halloween Horror Curated
Broken Systems
When I first started doing ‘zines with friends we were all about the DIY ethos. We were just kids, teenagers, and we didn’t have any money to put into anything, to be honest, so we cut pictures out of old magazines, printed things off of computer printers, and made copies at copy centers or on… Continue reading Broken Systems
Ladders to Heaven
Sometimes I wonder if we’re trying to heave ladders toward heaven with how anxious we are to pore over the art of the past to find its flaws. We are desperate to show how wise and cultured and enlightened we are and just as anxious to post about it so everyone can know about it… Continue reading Ladders to Heaven
Awakened and Asleep
It seems like it’d get tiresome being outraged all the time. It seems like with all the things going on in the world the small hills the hard right conservatives want to die on, crosses held high above their heads wouldn’t be worth it. GREAT! You have forced people who don’t identify as their birth… Continue reading Awakened and Asleep
The Rhythm and the Beat
It’s funny that for me, talking about music feels almost shameful. For ANYONE to talk about music should never be shameful, let’s just say that. Sure, I don’t know the internal organs of music, the ‘musicology’ of it all how music looks beneath the skin or the lineage that brought it from birth to now.… Continue reading The Rhythm and the Beat
Tear Down
If we’re honest, the American education system is a dumpster set ablaze. It has become politicized and weaponized and children are suffering for it. It has fully become a situation of haves and have-nots. The haves can go wherever they want to school with the option of private school, charter school, or even homeschooling on… Continue reading Tear Down
The Fire That We Started
We’re at that stage of things where we have to sorta stop and say, oh, yeah, that’s on us. Our bad. There is something sick in our culture and it’s undeniable. We have become a culture standing around our house as it burns, roasting marshmallows. Florida thinks it’s a great idea to ‘show the other… Continue reading The Fire That We Started
If It’s Broke
It’s inevitable that anything popular is going to become a target of derision. Especially when it comes to a film series that is over ten years old and boasts over twenty films. The ambition of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is only second to its hubris and the feeling that they could do no wrong. Of… Continue reading If It’s Broke
