  • Book Recommendation: Scapegoat

    This is a simple and easy read.  It is very fast paced.  I read this book a while ago, but remember it being thought provoking.  Humans all love to blame others especially when shit hits the fan. The bigger the problem, the harder one falls when they fail.  This begs the question of what exactly…

  • Short Story: Wild Sea

    ,

            In the sea of infinite waves, I found myself with one oar that day. The wind had picked up, and my hand clumsily hit the side of the boat. I will add it was built by my dear friend. He has since passed away, body mixed in with the dirt by now, and creepy…

  • Movie Recommendation: The Fly

    ,

    A movie I haven’t seen in a while is The Fly.  I’m talking about the David Cronenberg movie where I never looked at Jeff Goldblum the same way.  The metamorphosis of his character was one of greatness.  Yes, I prefer character driven movies vs. action based movies although I have no issue watching any Fast…

  • Book Recommendation: WHO THE HELL’S IN IT

    This is a great book for the fact it gives the reader insights into the personalities of famous actors and actresses, unadulterated and brutally truthful. Even if it portrays the Hollywood legends in a less than favorable light, you continue to have respect for them as they deserve. I enjoyed it from first page to…

  • A Writer Does Two Things: Read and Write

    ,

         I was drawn to writing as long as I can remember.  I enjoyed reading too and wish I could finish books like I did when I was younger.  No longer does Sweet Valley Twins and Babysitter’s Club hold my attention nor would I find them all that interesting today.  The books I’m reading now…

  • Some Make It While Others Don’t in Hollywood

    ,

    I’ve been thinking about the 80s.  I was all about Punky Brewster, Different Strokes, Facts of Life, and the occasional morning cartoons.  Scooby Doo and Smurfs come to mind.  As a child yourself, you don’t think about what child actors and actresses experience as they are catapulted into stardom.  As you grow older and learn…

  • Documentary Recommendation: Be Here Now

    , ,

    I was late in watching the series Spartacus.  I wish there were more seasons and wonder what would have occurred had Andy Whitfield continued to live past the age of his prime.  I heard of this documentary while watching him and along with the other actors that played gladiators.  The tenacity and strength he possessed…
