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
Why are you the way that you are?
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”
High Movie Review #011: The Godfather
“I believe in America.” That is the opening line from this film, one of the most celebrated in American history. Bonasera, an undertaker, loves America because “America has made my fortune.” And yet, it was that same America that, when his daughter is raped, lets the rapists go free by suspending their sentence. It’s “AmericaContinue reading “High Movie Review #011: The Godfather”
The Doctor Strange Argument
All right, I’m about to go on a rant, and I’m gonna reference an MCU movie in doing so. I don’t like doing it, but I think it’ll help clarify what the fuck I’m talking about, and provide a decent parallel. And maybe this is already a logical fallacy with a name, I don’t know,Continue reading “The Doctor Strange Argument”
The Absolute Comedy of It All
WARNING: Descriptions of explicit sexual acts On June 17th, 1972, five men were arrested at the Watergate complex in Washington D.C. for burglary. The five men were attempting to plant various listening/recording devices in the building. Oh! It’s important to note: the building was the location of the Democratic National Committee Headquarters. Wow, that soundsContinue reading “The Absolute Comedy of It All”
Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
Wouldn’t it be nice if people were, well, nicer? The answer is, “yes,” obviously. It would be better if more people were more nice more often. I was thinking about this one day, and I thought of niceness as a thing to be studied. Niceology, I called it, and I started writing “lessons” on theContinue reading “Wouldn’t It Be Nice?”
