We all struggle over the idea of what success means. Do we define it, do we allow others to define it for us? Do we judge ourselves against social media influencers who show a curated view of their lives or against our friends and foes alike to see if we feel better or worse about… Continue reading What is Success?

Yet MORE Movies You May Not Have Seen – part three of whatever
Well, hello! I am not sure anyone else gets much out of these posts but darn it, I do, so that’s all that matters. I figured though that I have a lot of movies and love a lot of movies folks haven't seen and with video stores gone and not everything streaming there are a… Continue reading Yet MORE Movies You May Not Have Seen – part three of whatever
Tease Me
If you’re like me then you hate to see movie consumers treated as if we’re pumpkin-headed idiots who need to be treated like we’re not bright enough to pick up plots or themes. The film has to be explained fully in a trailer. Everything has to be laid out. We see this in games as… Continue reading Tease Me
Cultured
I learned a creepy term over the holidays - gun influencers. Worse, there are KID gun influencers. These are folks that like to shoot and show off weapons on the socials. While I have real issue with people doing that - it’s akin to watching people race or drive fast cars that I’ll never own… Continue reading Cultured

Weak
If there is something that is true about the human-animal it’s that we can all go through the very same things in the same ways and each of us will experience it differently. The collection of us come from different backgrounds, different make-ups, and have different chemistries at work in us. While ‘nothing is new’,… Continue reading Weak
Get Physical
As more and more of us turn to ‘streams’ to get our entertainment - and information - content there has been a stronger and stronger pushback from the creative and collecting sides of things. What was once looked at as a great convenience, to turn to a stream for movies and shows, has become the… Continue reading Get Physical
E-Books for E-Minds
If you've poked around in my Haunted Bookstore you'll have seen that I have a LOT of books. I write. A lot. It's hard to know if you are comfortable investing in an author you've never read before though, and I get it. AS SUCH, I dropped the prices on my e-books. Take a chance… Continue reading E-Books for E-Minds
Pay Up
If you peruse my blog for any length of time you will quickly realize two things - I am not religious but I have respect for religion. I think it’s an important distinction to make because too many atheists like to make a scene ranting about how evil religion is. That’s not me. Faith is… Continue reading Pay Up
All Hail Halloween
Last night I got to take my daughter out for her first real-live Halloween. We had taken her to the houses of family her first two, and that was fun, but this time it was the real deal. And she loved. And we loved it. It reminded me of why Halloween is so important culturally… Continue reading All Hail Halloween
Be A Fan
I think I have this same sort of feeling after every event I’ve put on myself or helped put on - Why? Why do it? Why put in the time, and the hours, and the money when the results can be…disappointing at best? This isn’t an O-Woe post, but a reality check for myself. I… Continue reading Be A Fan

Airing it Out
There’s something about modern humans where we need constant validation. We need attention, and ‘love’, and an audience. It’s part of what we are as a species but it’s also learned behavior in our social media age. So many of us are giving partial attention to one another - always on our phones, scrolling, texting,… Continue reading Airing it Out
