Southwest News Hearld Poetry

Way back in the early to mid 90′s, I sent in about six or so submissions to the Southwest News-Hearld‘s poetry section Thoughts In Verse.

Although the poetry here is not the best in the world and I am pretty sure the editorial standards for choosing which poetry got published was no more complicated then making sure the same poet did not run in subsequent issues, it was the first thing I ever wrote with the intention of making it public.

NFSW: Toys R Us Ghost

A look at one of the most infamous ghost photographs in existence, that of a man searching for his lost love in a California toy store a hundred years after his accidental death:

“For most of us, toy stores conjure up childhood images of fun, freedom and imagination.

However, a Toys R Us location in Sunnyvale California has become more well known as a place of terror then pleasure.

It is said that a ghost resides in the shop, a ghost searching for a lost love.

A ghost that during an investigation by well known psychic Sylvia Browne just happened to have his picture taken and became one of the most well known paranormal photographs in the world.”

New Additions!

The old website still exists, and I have the feeling I will be doing something with it in time…

Writing of The Bulls

In sports I only have one love and it is the game of Basketball.

I suppose it makes sense, as I grew to be six foot five and played the game every night as a teen and into my twenties.

No longer able to play, I still soak up every NBA story out there on the internet and regularly play games of NBA 2K to relax when I’m stressed out and need a bit of  a break.

Recently I got an opportunity to meld my ‘love of the game’ with my writing when I was contacted about writing for a new NBA blog called Shatter the Backboard.com, specifically about my favorite NBA team from my old hometown, the Chicago Bulls.

I love this chance to give an opinion about my Bulls and the NBA in general, and I want to invite you to check out my posts and as well as the site in general.

Update On All Projects & New Facebook/Email Info

Hello again (Yes, I’m talking to you, the one guy in his bathrobe who was waiting for a new post to appear in this space!).

It has been awhile since I have written, but just wanted to update this blog a bit as I intend on trying to be a bit more on the ball about it.

Scheduling Yourself

I have come across a small dilemma recently.

I am very proud to be the current main news writer and co-editor of Cult Britannia, as well as trying to take on other things, such as branching into short fiction.

However, as time goes on I find myself constantly falling behind, due mostly to the fact that I have to hold down a regular forty hour a week job besides the writing and I also have to have some kind of life, even though that life consists mainly of reading various things and hanging out at the Amityville Horror Truth Board.

First Post: The Adventure Begins!

It would figure that the first post of this blog would happen while I’m being lazy and not going at full speed.

But anyway welcome to the blog, I will try to keep it as entertaining and informative as I can. Today the only entertaining thing is that this post is being written on a (Wait for it…) BUS! That’s right you heard correctly a bus!
Try to contain your excitement for the rest of the post please.
