No, I’m not talking about the death of a genius creator who made this world better than when he found it, but Steve Jobs deserves as much praise as he’s getting and probably more if we were all honest with each other. The man took something average and from start to finish made his goal … Continue reading
It needs to be said. I’m not a “fanboy” who worships at the alter of Optimus. I’m not that guy that has followed this film franchise on the internet from site to site and picture to picture. I’m just a little kid on the inside that enjoyed the hell out of my Transformers childhood and … Continue reading
Today it’s me and The Girl – aka Bekah talking about the movie, “Somewhere” for the first ten. If that doesn’t fit your fancy then we’re opening up and talking about our strokes. Why yes, we’re both Stroke Survivors and it’s a fairly meaty second half where we both share about what it was like. … Continue reading

Elegy Beach by Steven R. Boyett My rating: 4 of 5 stars The sequels are never as good as the original. In the case of “Elegy Beach”, I’m tempted to make an exception. It has the punch of the original (familiar characters return) with a new cast of magicians and nefarious gangsters of the Rasputin … Continue reading
Ariel: A Book of the Change by Steven R. Boyett My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. I had never heard of this book until I stumbled onto it’s sequel “Elegy Beach” in the library and suddenly I was in a world of unicorns and magic. The idea of “Ariel” is that for whatever reason … Continue reading
Book Review of some books I read – A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. I loved this book to hate one or two characters. A simple four way story between four people destined to kill themselves. All on the same night. Together they awkwardly join together to … Continue reading
