Couch Guitar Straps

Part of the fun of having a blog is being able to pimp awesome things or companies that I find. This is not an endorsed advertisement. I will always tell you if I sell ad space to a company here. This is stuff I use and love enough to share. This week I want to share...

Blogenning Theme of the Week: A Letter To Me-A-Decade-Ago

Part of the fun of the Blogenning is having people get to decide what one of your posts that week should be about. Some weeks it’s incredibly easy, some weeks you have nothing to say about that subject and just have to roll with it. This week it's my turn to choose the topic, and...

Ira Glass – The Gap

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Every time I create something I think about this. I think it's because, even though I've done a lot of creative work, I still feel like I'm working my way across the gap. I feel a bit like Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade when he has...

Blogenning Theme of the Week: Obsessions

Part of the fun of the Blogenning is having people get to decide what one of your posts that week should be about. Some weeks it's incredibly easy, some weeks you have nothing to say about that subject and just have to roll with it. This week we're talking about obsessions. I'll let you decide...

Heroes and Inspirations

This post was prompted by a certain early 90s alt-rock icon, who, last week, devolved into a transphobic 12-year-old internet troll. (Watch the video in that last link for a sincere and thoughtful response to it all by an incredibly brave woman.  FYI: she makes amazing guitar and bass effects, which I thoroughly encourage you...

Front The Most

Not a long post today, but I do like ocasionally to not say very much and share something awesome. So, if you're a nerd, or think your might be a nerd, or just like music, and you haven't checked out MC Frontalot, do so right now. Then considering heading over to his site and grabbing...

On Writing

So I'm a writer. I write. I write here. I write novels every November. I like that kind of writing, but I don't love that kind of writing. It's not me. I am never fully myself when writing here or elsewhere. I am creating a caricature of either myself, or the world I see, or the worlds I...

Blogenning Theme of the Week: Pets

Experiment

Experiment. Have fun. Bend the rules. Break the rules. See what something will do. Life is too short not to mess around with things and see what happens. However, don't hurt anyone else by doing it, and try not to hurt yourself. Try to learn as much about what you're about to do as you can...

Blogenning Theme of the Week: Birthdays and Growing Up

This week's blogenning theme is a little more open ended that the last, in an effort to acommodate people who aren't about to have, or haven't just had, a birthday. It seems a good portion of the Blogenning members have Birthdays in these next few months, myself included. I turn 25 this year. I have...
