as for Watchmen
Just reserved my copy on Blu-ray. A lot of people didn't like this movie. I divide them into 2 groups. The first group is those who were expecting a Superhero Movie. They were confused by "Watchmen" because it is more about character development and story and social commentary......Read More

Marco...
Still in uniform and steel-toed boots, Jairus stepped out of the house and yelled for his kid. The double-lungful of air was so damp that it felt heavy in his chest. He heard the neighborhood kids down in the park, but his own baby-girl did not answer or appear out of the gloom, so he headed......Read More

swastika, anyone?
I’ve got a Nazi ring. A distant relative took it from a dead German and passed it down. My hands are small, so the German’s pinky-ring fits my index finger. It is silver. The swastika is scratchy and a little uneven, as though the guy etched it himself, with the point of a......Read More

my head on a stake
Let it never be said that I only laugh at Christians. Christians, those lambs, are such easy targets. Gone are the days of King Henry and the Catholic/Protestant/Puritan wars. Back then, if you made fun of Christianity you were practically asking to get put in the stocks or worse. These days,......Read More

degrees of bullets
We all know that an ice bullet has never killed anyone. Actually, an ice bullet has never even been fired. They evaporate in the barrel of a gun. Meat bullets can be fired, but they "sploot" on impact. They might bruise a person, but that's it. All I have is a double B.A., which thus......Read More

as for Public Enemy
Saw "Public Enemy" last night. Johnny Depp is always good. He's dreeeeamy in round glasses. Plus I have a soft spot for outlaws. Am probably related to one of them, you know. One of them used an alias the same as my last name, and took refuge in a certain part of the......Read More

friend with benefits
Went to work an hour early so I could leave early and clean the house in order to surprise myself when I got home at my usual time. It worked - I loved it. Oh yeah, I'm getting some tonight. Bay-beh. *** After which am going to write... which may take a while depending on how well......Read More

Rayme and the Blood Warriors
It's my birthday weekend. See you in a few. Meanwhile here's some more trash for you. *** There is a gargoyle living in the eaves of Rayme's building. Rayme isn't about to tell just anyone about it, but he'll tell you-- if you ask him. What are the chances that you'd ask Rayme......Read More

footwork
In a boxing gym there are several kinds of bags. Heavy bag, medium-heavy, horizontal bag, speed-bag and spring-bag. Each bag has a different purpose. The big heavy bag is for power jabs. If you can make that one move with your big right hand, you're doing well. It's very important......Read More

- tester -
The neighborhood was as still as Jersey could be on a summer afternoon. Cars roared along a nearby highway, a jet soared high overhead, sirens moaned, a small child screamed laughter a few houses down. For Mia, this was stillness: sounds so constant that they became wallpaper. The boys were......Read More
