Seriously. I need to get it together up in here. I have a lot of ideas for things but I just don’t follow through. Let’s call that my new years resolution. or something. To help make up for it, I’m going to tell you about my favorite things of 2012. Here goes. Favorite Blogger: Austin … [Read more…]
I’ve finally pushed forward with my life. It’s been extremely tough; I haven’t left Texas long-term in 23 years. But I’m slowly trying to put myself together and find my purpose out here in LA. (If you know of any jobs, drop me a line!) A few cool things: I’ve started reading the new bio … [Read more…]
As a writer, I should really be keeping this blog up. The past few months have been weird and I’ve been awful about writing. Supposed to move to Los Angeles last Saturday, then tomorrow, now maybe hopefully Wednesday.

Dubstep is definitely a sub-genre of electronic, and it has its own sub-genres that will be addressed at a … [Read more…]
This is part of a new series I’m trying to do that has to do with my “essentials,” or the stuff I can’t live without. This will mainly be physical things, apps, maybe people/websites as well. This is different from the “Look at the fish” page because it isn’t going to be about specific articles, … [Read more…]
I started an essay awhile back and I know that it should be revised before I try to publish it anywhere. So I’m going to try just rewriting/summarizing it here. Might be a good way to do things. Gives me blog content and forces me to rewrite. Back when I was a kid growing up … [Read more…]
