Down but not out or alone
The first culprit on why the site was “dark” for another week can be blamed on the flu. Although I got a flu shot last Friday, I did ask the nurse, I’ve gotten sick despite being inoculated. The response was, … Continue reading
This month’s header, They Live turns 30
Given our current state of affairs, it’s only appropriate to celebrate John Carpenter’s social commentary masterpiece, released on this day. The header took a little work to get it to work and I found this anti-Trump one weeks ago. No … Continue reading

Get ready for the deluge of the recent past!
Even before I contracted pneumonia, I was pretty behind on numerous stories, namely all these recent concerts I’ve been attending since Summer, plus a couple movies (which has slowed down my movie attendance as punishment) and what have you. But … Continue reading
Spent some time resting
After losing the first couple weeks to pneumonia and its recovery, I decided to take most of the month off, relax, do some more reading, more sleeping, more living…well, working. I will also use the time between now and next … Continue reading
Summer of ’18 is over part two
Another Summer bites the dust. I readily admit, I miss the way it used to be when I was a kid, teenager and college student. Being an adult with responsibility sucks. We do experience Summer in other ways but just … Continue reading
Summer of ’18 is over part one
Needed a few days to get my sleep routine corrected because I was feeling exhausted at work most of the day. When it was time to go home, I was beat which meant falling asleep watching TV or just throwing … Continue reading
Go Houston!
As per the story line of Seventies flick Rollerball, the year is 2018 and Houston on its way to another championship with 10-year veteran Captain Jonathan E at the helm! I still love this movie despite how super dated it is. … Continue reading
Thirteen years of Volume Five!
The anniversary was yesterday but I always just remember I started the blog-format around the Fourth of July. There are days I miss the older, original printed versions because technology has come pretty far in cost as well as ease. … Continue reading
This month’s header, Bugs Bunny’s birthday
Every July we celebrate the wascally wabbit’s birthday (7/27/1940) and all the he has brought. I found a piece of art with him playing Brunhilde from The Ring in “What’s Opera Doc?” It’s not from a real cel, it’s a piece Chuck … Continue reading
Summer 2018 is here
Technically, Summer begins with Memorial Day for me, some of us never get over the ebb and flow of the seasons from when we were in school. Although I’m late on my finale to Karl Marx’s 200th birthday and I … Continue reading
The header for May ’18
This month’s header is a celebration of the sleeper hit She’s Having a Baby which was a pleasant departure for John Hughes after his string of six teenager movies. I think it also marked Hughes’ decision to make more films involving adults … Continue reading
Welcome to April
A big trifecta of celebration today! Easter (aka Zombie Jesus Day), April Fool’s Day and the 50th anniversary of Planet of the Apes. The last one is the “birthday” for when the classic movie was released. Of course, in the late … Continue reading
March is ladybug month
Whenever I don’t have a solid idea for a month’s theme, I start searching via Google for inspiration. This time I learned that March is ladybug month. Not sure why but I pounced on it because only recently did I … Continue reading
Black History Month is the theme/look
After a dozen years, I’ve remembered to honor Black History Month. I forgot how cool the colors attached to the celebration were. In America, Black citizens have contributed a lot to my country’s success and the story about the US. … Continue reading
Welcome December
I was a tad absent-minded on implementing the obvious changes on my site Friday. Again, it slipped my mind which was annoying, I had the snowy header ready to go. A little nod to the horrible weather I left behind … Continue reading
