Two years ago, my ex-wife left me for another man. Granted, she probably would have left if he hadn’t been around, but he gave her the initiative to speed up the process . . . as well as the SUV in which to leave. Buckling my daughter into that vehicle and watching that [...]

My Walk With the Lord
Last night, I was challenged by a friend regarding the types of blog entries that I write. He told me that my writing always seems to center around politics. Ignore the fact that this friend is my most politically active friend or the fact that the only person to comment on my poem [...]

My Movie Review
In my nearly 34 years of existence, I have never seen a 3D movie in the theater-until tonight. My Bloody Valentine opened tonight. As many of you may know, I spent my childhood and adolescent years as a slasher-film fan. I own every Jason Vorhees movie on DVD. I have, admittedly, never seen the original [...]

A BOOK REVIEW
CHION
As most of you know, I have a special place in my heart for independent fiction. I had wanted to read Darryl Sloan’s YA thriller for awhile. I’ve listened to all of the MP3 files that he has placed on his website and know just how talented he is. And Chion wasn’t a disappointment.

Some Updates
DRAGONLANCE
As a junior in high school, I borrowed my first Dungeons & Dragons novel from my buddy, Evan. It was Dragons of Autumn Twilight and I was blown away by just how awesome a read it was. The book made the rounds and friend after friend loved it. Now, after fifteen years, they’ve made an [...]

CHILD OF THE ‘80S
I was born in 1975 and spent the majority of my childhood in the 1980s. I like how that decade has started to become retro in recent years. I’ve purchased the “Top Ten” episodes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe on DVD. I’ve purchased the first eight [...]

LIBERALS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE “TOLERANT?”
Since I first put up my MySpace page, I’ve looked around on the site for people who have many of the same interests (Jesus, writing, politics, independent film, etc.) that I have. I’ve asked many people to let me add them to my “friends” list. Until this past [...]

A TOMB IN JERUSALEM
Okay, so this “documentary” came on THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL last Sunday night and everybody’s talking about it. Atheists and pagans alike claim that it proves that Jesus wasn’t the Son of God. Here are my two cents worth:
In those times, people were buried in their home towns. [...]

THE COST OF OUR MEMORIES
I stopped by the grocery store this morning and discovered that they were selling blackberries . . . at almost four bucks a pint. I couldn’t believe the price of a fruit that used to be so readily available to me in the summer. I remember spending the warm, summer days [...]

TODAY’S UPDATE
Not much has been happening around here lately. I got a couple of manuscripts back from my editor and we’re going to meet next week, during my vacation from work, to discuss her views on some of the red marks. As usual, she has pointed out things in the story that need further clarification. [...]
