Relating to characters?
Occasionally, someone who has read my book The Act of Laughing will track me down on Facebook and tell me how much they related to one of the characters. It’s never the two with redeeming qualities, either. It’s always Evan. Evan is a snarky, lazy comic book artist with a massive ego and a strong sense of entitlement. He’s an atheist, and is an asshole … Continue reading Relating to characters?
Coals of fire
Conservatism is a cult. Liberalism is a cult. Life is not black and white. When you ignore obvious facts in favor of comforting lies that become endlessly parroted rhetoric without thought, you are in a cult. When you cut off family because they voted for someone you don’t like, that’s cult shit–you’re eliminating all input that doesn’t reinforce your narrative. That’s what cults tell their … Continue reading Coals of fire
I will not fight.
I’ve got to stop paying such close attention to the news and current events. I can’t handle it. It’s accomplishing nothing but making me perpetually pissed, and it’s affecting the way I treat my wife and also others who are far less important to me.

Indeed, they will shape the very course of history, and they’ve already begun doing so. Our enemies are attacking. Hard. The flames of the narratives you’ve chosen to … Continue reading The silent war

Words are everything. Words can alter the beliefs and of the masses, which translates to action. Words are the impetus behind all action, in fact. Words can either instill … Continue reading Which quote is correct?
Classic film binge
The Man With My Face(1951) This was a fun little flick about a guy who… well, the poster says it all. I got curious about filming locations, particular this old Spanish-looking castle by the sea. Turns out it’s called Castillo San Cristoball, and is located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Constructed In 1783! How ’bout that? See, Idk about you, but this is the kind … Continue reading Classic film binge

Crazy Larry
Growing up in Lawton, Oklahoma in the 1980s, I always heard stories about a guy named Crazy Larry who huffed paint and rode a bicycle around town. They said he wore a jacket in triple digit temps. They said he’d been a genius who ruined his life huffing paint. They said a lot of things. I never saw him as a kid, though, and I … Continue reading Crazy Larry
