The Great American Novel

So, I started writing my book recently. I don't want to say too much about it, or reveal its contents. I will say this. Part of the book is a story that I've been forming in my head, wanting to write for several years now. Another part is one that I am loosely basing on the life of an acquaintance. From there, I'm adding autobiographical elements. The story is more or less a setup for the overall thesis, which will be revealed at the end. All in all, I believe it will be a book worth writing. I have no timetable for it's completion. It'll take however long it takes. As long as it's finished, that's all that counts. To be continued...

No, CPU. *I* am booking this crap!

In an effort to maximize my video game entertainment dollar, I am skipping the PS4 and focusing on the one gaming device I have left: The Original Wii. I am not a fan of the Wii controller, so I decided to buy games that utilize the "classic controller" that look and feel similar to the one that PlayStation uses. I bought Madden 12 a while back for my football fix, and just recently bought WWE '12 to satisfy my wrestling fix. Here's the thing. When I play wrestling games, I have to be the ultimate booker. I'm changed some of the lame-ass WWE PPV names. I'm bringing back Backlash, No Mercy, and even Clash of Champions for early October.

I have a system for what matches go on each show and each PPV (i.e. Superstars features divas, midcarders and cruiserweights, including 190-lb. Daniel Bryan, while RAW and Smackdown feature t...

The Mother Sucks! (and so does this season)

Okay, this is long overdue, but I have to get this off my chest. Here goes… The Mother. It doesn’t work for me. I’m not a Broadway buff. I have no prior knowledge of this person. I’m sure Cristin Milioti is an excellent actor, and this is not a knock on her personally, but she is not “it” for me. I am deeply disappointed. For nine years, they have built this tremendous cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. They needed to pay it off in the biggest way possible. They needed to secure an attractive, big name actor to be the ultimate woman. They needed someone who blows Ted’s mind AND somehow puts up with his quirks when no one else on the show can. Most importantly, they needed to get someone who EVERYBODY knows!! They needed one of the following: a classic TV star (i.e. Soleil Moon Frye), a current film star (i.e. Kristen Stewart), an ALMOST current film star (i.e. Charlize Theron or Jessica Biel), or a semi-current TV star who is available (i.e.Jamie Pressly). They needed to provide ...
