I haven’t spoken to my mother since about 1986. To this day, my mother is an enigma to me. I understand less about her than I do complete strangers. That isn’t do say I don’t recognize batshit crazy. I do, I really do. No, the thing is I don’t really know why she is the … Read more
I was born in Mexico in 1966 while my parents were visiting my grandparents. It was the first time my parents had been back since they had emigrated to America. Even though I weighed upwards of 12 lbs when I was born, it was a relatively simple birth from all accounts. It would be the … Read more
After reading Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, I have to admit that simply adding zombies to a classic piece of literature is not nearly enough to make it entertaining. Up until this particular book, I really, really thought that adding zombies to anything would make it full of “teh awesome!” It doesn’t. Not really. It … Read more

Music has always been a major inspiration for me. I like all kinds of music, but clearly my tastes run toward punk and metal with some industrial thrown in for good measure. If I’m writing, chances are I am listening to something dark and heavy such as Nine Inch Nails or Prodigy. When I am … Read more
A couple of days ago, I was talking to a friend of mine about one of my favorite topics, me. It seems that while this blog shares insight into who I am and what I believe, it does little to dispell the rumor that I was raised by wolves and ate my siblings upon exiting … Read more
A few years back some one in hollywood picked up a graphic novel and said, “Gee, this would make an amazing film!” Ok, that probably happens a lot in hollywood, but on this particular occasion they picked up a graphic novel titled WANTED. If you’ve seen the film starring Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, and James … Read more
