The National
Listening to the new The National album. It’s pretty much amazing. I will probably be listening to his for weeks.

Til Blood's Last Drop: A Novel
I have been truckin’ along with my ebook novel entitled “Til Blood’s Last Drop”. It’s a science fiction novel about a girl that makes a decision which entangles dozens of characters into a plot larger than any of them. The main plot centers around a bounty hunter that is trying to find and return the girl after she decided to run from her owner.
Progress on it has...

New Coheed is....Different
The last two Coheed albums have taken some time to get used to. I’m not sure what I think of this new one. It’s a different direction for sure. As of now I’m on the fence.

I Kicked Zuckerberg in the Face(book)
So I quit Facebook.
It’s funny to me that it’s almost like kicking a bad habit like smoking. Why, you ask, did I quit? The answer is twofold:
A.) I spent way too much time on it.
B.) I realized it’s a big waste of time.
Believe it or not I despise the Facebook games like Farmville. I just would do the social thing and way too much of it. Am I now some advocate for everyone to kick the habit?...

Cars Make You Go Crazy
I went on a insane road trip this past weekend. 18 hours to Atlanta, Georgia and around 18 hours back. I stayed in Georgia for about a day and a half before getting back in the car and heading back. Sounds insane right? There were plenty of reasons to go down there, but I’m fairly positive I will never do that again. There is something about being in a car for that long that makes you go a...

Stranger in a Strange Land
It had been over 10 years since I’ve come back to Dixie. Things are much different than where I live now.
I went to a wedding of a good, old friend. Though now, since it had been so long, I didn’t know anyone. It was a really bizarre experience. The only person who really wanted me there was my good friend. I saw him get married. I saw him cut the cake and dance with his new wife. It...

You know, since I can’t bring myself to post on your post, for fear that it will turn into a flame war, I will do so here.
Yes, I understand the opinion GIVEN THE FACTS SHOWN. But you cannot decry the whole of a community based on those of us who don’t bathe and eat cheetos. I…

Watching Monster Camp
I am watching a documentary called Monster Camp. It’s about super nerds that have no life. What life they do have they waste playing World of Warcraft and the LARPing phenomena NERO. It is probably the saddest thing I have seen in a long time.

Grill Up Yourself a Soul Pancake
Dwight Shrute in a lot of ways stereotypes the quintessential nerd of today (with a farmboy twist), so it was of great interest to me when the actor that portrays said Shrute, Rainn Wilson, developed a website with some friends entitled: Soul Pancake.
It has been around for a few years now. The recipe is fairly simple:
1 Part Intellectual Philosophy Talk
2 Parts Hipster Culture
And mix with...

Hipster Nonsense
I am really getting sick of crazy indie hipsters saying things that try to be profound, cool, and off the wall, but in reality makes you sound like an idiot. We get it. You want to be noticed for your obscure thoughts. You are totally original. What else will you say?
My frustration mostly comes from the guy that makes up Owl City. I follow him on Facebook, and he randomly posts this piece of...

Tumble, Bumble
I stumbled upon tumblr because of Animals with Lightsabers.com and thought it was an interesting sight. We’ll see how long it actually keeps my interest. Seems like a good idea, trying to blend Blogspot with Twitter. I wonder how many websites will try to make different variations of popular social networks? Only time will tell…
