Hello! I am proud to announce that my first work of fiction is now complete and available for purchase! Hooray! It’s called Dead Man Knocking, which is a serious, serious title. It’s about death, and men, and knocking on things. Serious, serious stuff. No, it’s about a skeleton who tries to write knock-knock jokes. No!Continue reading “Dead Man Knocking”

Motivation
I recently attempted to complete a writing challenge called NaNoWriMo, which stands for the National Novel Writing Month. Essentially, it is a challenge to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. I did not complete my novel in time, but I am very proud of the incredible progress I made, especially consideringContinue reading “Motivation”
Gotta Buy ‘Em All! Collectibles, Consumerism, and Christmas [more like ChristMAS (cause mas means more in Spanish)]
On Christmas of 1998, I opened my gifts: a lime green GameBoy Color and the accompanying game, Pokemon Red Version. It was the first video game I ever owned, and I was filled with joy, starting my Pokemon journey with Charmander on that wonderful day. Pokemon in the late 1990s and early 2000s was anContinue reading “Gotta Buy ‘Em All! Collectibles, Consumerism, and Christmas [more like ChristMAS (cause mas means more in Spanish)]”
Interesting…
In 1983, musician David Bowie was interviewed by MTV host Mark Goodman. This was during a time when MTV played music videos, and Bowie pressed Goodman on the fact that MTV did not showcase black musical artists. And even when they do, they’re on at 2AM. Goodman responds by saying, well, we can’t just beContinue reading “Interesting…”
Creative Block
Writer’s block, musician’s block, Lego creator’s.. block [funny?]. Whatever creative thing you’re into, there’s a block for that. Blocks galore! Whatever medium in which you create, you will be blocked! There’s no stopping it. So what the fuck do we do about it? I’m currently writing a novel, and I’m not even experiencing writer’s blockContinue reading “Creative Block”
A Solution in Search of a Problem
There’s a video gaming Youtube channel that I used to watch a lot called “Happy Console Gamer,” which features a Canadian guy talking about video games. He talked mostly about RPGs [which I don’t play too much] and retro games [which I do play a lot]. On one of the videos, he brought his friendContinue reading “A Solution in Search of a Problem”
Ways of Thinking that I Don’t Understand

High Movie Review #13: Spider-Man
This was the first DVD I ever owned. I remember it. I received a gift card for Christmas, and I went out to the store, and I bought the original Spider-Man movie on DVD. I watched it over and over again, and I loved it. And I still have that DVD! And I’m watching itContinue reading “High Movie Review #13: Spider-Man”
Hating Myself
I think I’ve hated myself in two different ways. The first was the worst and the hardest, the longest-lasting. And the second was still hard but it was easier to deal with on some level. But also, the second form, coming after the first, probably still had some of the first form wrapped up inContinue reading “Hating Myself”
High Movie Review #12: The Godfather: Part II
The sequel! They’re adding to the “lore!” They’re expanding the Godfather extended universe! All you Godfather stans, I hope you’re ready for a wild ride! Haha, lot to unpack there. First of all, the word “stan,” I only mention it to criticize it. I’ve never called myself a “stan” or ever even used that termContinue reading “High Movie Review #12: The Godfather: Part II”
