Revenge and Hate is a Dish Best Served a la Mode
It’s easy to get cynical in the subject of love when you’ve had your heart kicked in the ass. We have a tendency to believe that all people are selfish, we don’t trust them, and we think they’ll just be like that last one. All daggers, teeth, and blood. For those in good relationships or who broke up with their significant other amicably will think I’m insane. And yes, I am insane, but what I…

Movie/Book Review: The Hunger Games (Makes My Stomach Rumble)
The big thing to do now is to apparently read young adult novels and the movies that follow them. It started off with Harry Potter (probably not true, but it did for me), led to a bunch of unsucessful adaptations (such as The Golden Compass ), and hatefully successful ones like Twilight, and now leads to The Hunger Games . I read the book, written by Suzanne Collins, this past week in preparation for this…

Review: 21 Jump Street, Brings the Heat (Or Funny…whatever)
I had no interest in this movie whatsoever. Then, I listened to an interview with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill on the local morning show and I thought I’d give it a shot.

The Holidays Have Arrived…Uhh…Yay?
Every year the Christmas music keeps coming earlier. Thanksgiving hadn’t even passed yet and the music was already inundating our earlobes from at least one local radio station. Stores a plenty, I know, are already doling out the yule tide cheer, which I still have no idea what a yule tide is, but it’s apparently very cheerful. And though, I at least wait until AFTER Turkey day to even begin celebrating, I do start my…

I'm Lost! In The World of Skyrim! Which Can Be A Bad Thing.
I’ve stopped watching tv shows, reading books, and pretty much breathing air since the release of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out. Now, I realize talk about video games could be rather boring, but I think that even if you didn’t like video games, and roleplaying games specifically, you’ll feel differently about this one. There are games out there that go beyond just being a “video game”, which, to my surprise, those words still hold…

Just Proving…I'm Not Good At This Whole Logo Business
Well, my first attempts at making a new logo for the Critical Moment podcast has been…ass-like. It is not pretty. Just look at it below…yeah, that actually took time. Don’t laugh at me. Obviously I need help, or I, at least, need more time to futz around. Anyway, enjoy the meh as I continue to hit the drawing board with both fists flying. Thanks everyone for not ripping a new one…and uhhh…a little HELP!?!

Growing Up & Out & All Over
The latest Twitter trend, well, as of this Sunday of the Thanksgiving weekend 2011, is #GrowingUp. That was a horrible intro, but of course, it’s horrible to think about growing up, so I guess the two can go together. Anyway, growing up is a subject that a lot of people don’t really think about. When was the last time you sat down and thought about yourself and the fact that you’re getting older every second.…

Happy Thanksgiving!!! &…Blogs Are Hard To Keep Up With
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating. I know there’s a lot of food, a lot of family, and not a lot of movement as we digest our feasts and cornucopias. Still, I hope everyone is having a fantastic time catching up, relaxing, and enjoying this holiday. If you’re from outside of the country, sucks you don’t get to celebrate our countries obsession with holidays. Which honestly, I’m not complaining about. I love the time off and…

New Look, First Contests, All Awesome
Hope you’re liking the new look. Ever since Squarespace announced the new looks, I had to check it out, and I really like it. New fonts especially give it that hand written look which I’m a fan of. It shows a nice, warm exterior, and my oddities in the interior. So hopefully this will be the look I stay with for a long awhile. With a few added things here and there. Then there’s the…

The Battery Life of Phones & Love
This is a weird two parter because I have two complaints that happen to connect for the same reason and I guess I give it away in the titles. Hmm. Need to work on that. Nonetheless, those who know me, know…I love all sorts of tech and smart phones in particular. I try to keep up with the latest and greatest in smart phones, but honestly, with Android just pushing out a new phone every…

Romance Isn't Dead, It's Just Dead-ish
Image: Dynamite Imagery / FreeDigitalPhotos.netGentlemen, can you recall the last time you did something romantic for your lady? Ladies, can you remember when you’ve received something or maybe even done something romantic for your man? Well, people can chalk it up to a bad economy, others can say that there’s not enough hours in the day, and yet others can simply point out that they’ve tried, but nothing is good enough. Those are all valid…

The Legend of Zelda: The Greatest Video Games of All Time
I started with Batman, touting how awesome the Dark Knight is, and now it’s time to shower the Hero of Hyrule with praise. The Legend of Zelda, which found it’s start decades ago in the 80’s, specifically 1986, graced the Nintendo Entertainment System and changed the world. Okay, maybe it didn’t change the world, but today, or yesterday technically, since this will be going up after Halloween, there are thousands upon thousands who dress up…

Happy Halloween!!

Yep, I’m going as “Regular Guy”, or as my friends seem to associate my hoodie with Justin Beiber, you can just call me the Beibs. No, actually, I prefer you didn’t. This time of year has probably already seen some parties, some hook ups and some hang overs, so I hope everyone has had a fun and…

Apparently, I'm Better Than You.
You read correctly, I’m better than you. I think better than you, I like better music and movies than you, I’m smarter than you, and I’m funnier than you. Is that sincere sarcasm? Sort of. I honestly don’t believe I’m better than anyone, and if you have listened to the podcast and read the blog, you’d know that I’m pretty sure I’m not superior to anyone, but…a lot of people think they are. I don’t…

Why Batman Is the Greatest Superhero EVER!
It’s funny to think about Batman outside the context of a super hero. And of course, I need to point out that he is not “super”, because he has no super powers. Of course, his deductive mind, his ability to be prepared in almost any situation, against anyone (including Superman) can be considered a super power. In the end though, that’s not the ability to fly, to create things with your mind, to run faster…

It's Halloween, Time To Do Something "Scary"
Image: FreeDigitalPhotos.netOkay, first off, I tip my hat to haunted mazes nowadays. They do a great job of scaring the crap out of people. The campier, the better, because they definitely have to try harder. Sure the make up and the costume helps to make a maze frightening, but really, it’s the stuff you can’t see that make it worse. For some all it takes is an attractive girl, sitting in an electric chair, looking…

At a Loss For Words
Well, I guess I’m being a bit melodramatic. I know that there are readers out there, so thank you very much for that, I appreciate it.

Well that explains a lot about women…sort of.
Image: photostock / FreeDigitalPhotos.netSo according to this new study, it says that women who were on birth control were more likely to pick plain looking men who were poor in the sack but would end up being in long term relationships. On the other side of the coin, women who were ovulating wanted the hot guy, the one who would be amazing in bed, but wouldn’t last long in a relationship. That research is amazing.…
