I don’t know all that much about horses. At least, not to the degree people who do ride and care for them, and who would own a store dedicated to them would. I do know they are expensive creatures, as are the items related to them; even the things you wear when riding can be […]
We had been back in school for just about a Month. It was early in my Junior year, and it seemed like a pretty typical Tuesday. I don’t recall getting ready that day, but it is funny the things you do remember. In my case, I recall us on the bus discussing the upcoming episode […]
When you think of Nintendo, you think Mario, Pokemon, Metroid. When you think of Sega, you think Sonic. When you think of Marvel, you think Iron Man, Spider-Man, The Hulk. When you think of DC Comics, you think of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman. These are all intellectual properties protected under a law statute known as […]
As I make known enough for what it’s worth, my “day job” is in retail. Now, I do like what I do, but like any job it invariably has it’s less desirable moments. I sometimes share those, for what they are worth in either an educational sense, or just out of curiosity, for those who […]
It happens all the time, in virtually every conversation. You are making whatever point you have, be it something mundane, or something major, and, somehow, you realize you are arguing something you didn’t even say, or, better off, didn’t mean. Someone has changed the subject on you, via some method or another, and by the […]
All too often I’m put into arguments that are absolutely pointless simply because someone else is too lazy to use simple context clues and understand what the point being made actually is. The end result is someone arguing a strawman of your position, rather than the actual statement you are making. Yes, this is a […]
James Rolfe, best known for his online video series “The Angry Video Game Nerd” is quite the fan of cinematography, the actual process of movie making. While the AVGN online web series is his best known work, and certainly makes up a vast majority of his video production work, James has produced well over 400 […]
Last month I wrote about “A sham of a shop in Wolfchase Mall” by the name of Dough Boy Mini’s. The short of the story is this: A friend noticed the shop wasn’t open, and hasn’t ever been open even though it’s been listed as coming soon for over a year, yet the Facebook page […]
Has it really been almost a week since the last post? That’s strange for me, now, for sure, but there is good reason! Dominantly, Anime Blues Con 6! Oh yes, as stated in the post last week, I indeed did go to the convention on Saturday and had an amazing time – more on that […]
This Saturday, July 2nd, I will be at Anime Blues Con 6 here in Memphis, Tennessee, to host my panel for this year, entitled “So You Want To Be a Video Game Collector.” This will be the 3rd year I will have presented at Anime Blues Con, and also be the first year which I […]
So, over the past few months I’ve been writing more. Much much more than I have in months, indeed, in years past. I’ve expressed before that I am switching over from making YouTube videos to writing more. I still crank out the occasional video, but at this stage, it’s so much easier to write than […]
Not too far from me is the main shopping center for the Memphis / Shelby County metropolitan area. The centerpiece of this area is a mall called Wolfchase Galleria. I’m not the most fond of the place, but I don’t hate it. It’s mostly clothing stores, a few specialty shops, and a ton of cell […]
One of my many many quirks is a desire to be as correct as I can be in what I say, do, or think. I’m in no way saying I’m always right, but I am saying I try to avoid being incorrect where I can be – I like to use the proper terms for […]
Before there was the internet, there were Bulletin Board Systems (BBS for short). These systems were basic, at their core, but could grow quite complex. The way they worked was simple: a user dialed the phone number of the BBS they wanted to access and, presuming the line wasn’t busy, they would connect directly to […]
Let’s go back. Way back. over 15 years into the past, to high school computer labs in late 2000 and early 2001. At this time, I didn’t have a computer at home (amazing, I know!) so my only real access to PC’s, or the internet, was at school. This was fine by me – I […]
