Boy, oh boy did that slippery slope we have all been navigating suddenly turn into a water flume ride. WHOOSH! Down we go. It was bad enough when we had to start contending with the new breed of gaslighters who did it for profit and power alone. Bad actors that weaponized misinformation in ways never… Continue reading The Slippery Real

Leave It
There’s something a bit macabre and unnerving in the need to whitewash, for lack of a better term, fiction and ‘art’ of any sort. While civilization and attitudes and beliefs should (should, I say) be more malleable, ‘fact’ and history should be set in stone. You don’t have to like it or agree with it… Continue reading Leave It
Because Maybe We Don’t Care
I talked about bullying in the past but on seeing some recent news stories I thought I’d dive back in but in another part of that unfortunately large lake. I was bullied as a kid. Welcome to the world, right? Everyone is bullied during their life, whether by schoolmates, friends, lovers, family, or strangers. There… Continue reading Because Maybe We Don’t Care
Death From Above – blog
I can’t tell you when the world changed, but it did. We changed with it. The change in us took time, naturally, a slow change that has been painful to watch but is there just the same. A change that you ask - when did it start? Vietnam? The AIDS epidemic? September 11th? Columbine? What… Continue reading Death From Above – blog
Down, Down, Down We Go
It really is a wonder that children are as generally reasonable as they are considering what surrounds them. Adults have not only killed civility but we have pulled it apart, buried it, and then urinated on its grave. It would seem that as adults force children to grow up at a younger and younger age… Continue reading Down, Down, Down We Go
Art Is History/Art Is Commerce
It seems almost comical that we are suddenly thrust into a time of corporate greed and power that art can be made to casually disappear in order to save a few dollars. We are in a time when the malfeasance and poor business practices of corporations and mega-corporations has filtered down to the creative side… Continue reading Art Is History/Art Is Commerce
Shrinkage
It was almost a corporate mantra for the months of Covid - No one wants to work! Over and over you heard or read it, on the news, on podcasts, in blogs, on the radio, and from business owners themselves. People just didn’t want to work anymore. Them lazy people were just happy to suckle… Continue reading Shrinkage
Eating On Our Dead
There is a very, very thin and very gray line between what is tasteful and what is tasteless. To dance on that line is the work of the comedian or the provocateur artist. Most of us try to walk that line while checking from time to time to make sure we’re not straying over it… Continue reading Eating On Our Dead
Finding Your Way Around The Place
Hello and welcome, traveler! However you found my little slice of weird on the internet, welcome and hello. OK, for navigation purposes - If you came for the reviews (found footage specifically) - do a search for that tag. Reviews or Found Footage and you should find what you're looking for. If you want my… Continue reading Finding Your Way Around The Place
Absence
It’s a shame that we focus so much attention on the space three feet in front of us and not the space around us because we miss so much. We are animals with a recency bias and while we look to the past, and think of the future, it is the moment that suspends us. … Continue reading Absence
What Is It That Opinions Are Like, Again?
Opinions are interesting, aren’t they? We are all entitled to them, we all have them, and most of us feel the need to spout them from time to time. With this blog, it’s opinions all the time. The thing with something like a blog though is it’s something you have to participate in, in that… Continue reading What Is It That Opinions Are Like, Again?
Sometimes We Have To Leave
I grew up a small town kid with a small town mind. I like scary movies, and drawing, and playing basketball in the driveway, and playing with my friends in the field across the street from me or the woods that was at either end of the road. We lived on a lake and lake… Continue reading Sometimes We Have To Leave
Frayed
I saw something today that has stuck with me. I had dropped my daughter off and was grabbing a quick bite on my way to work when I saw a man and a little girl, bundled up and standing beside the entrance to the place I was going with a sign. I didn’t get a… Continue reading Frayed
