Seeing the Movie Matters Going to the movies has become as expensive as going to a rock concert, or a sports event. Is it still worth it?

New blog!
This week, remembering what is most important: seeing a movie, or where you see the movie.

Another day in the Infinatum, organizing the deeds and allies of mad scientists and power-hungry rulers, all believing their cause is necessary and just.
If I can't understand and sympathize with what they do, they're just... meh.

Words Remembered Words are remembered. People may say they are joking, to “lighten up”, or they are just being “honest”, but somewhere within their words, there was a reason for saying it. Or, a lack of wherewithal to realize their words may have more barbs than you intended.

New blog!
This week, how one simple comment can be remembered, and how we needs to take responsibility for our words.

I've been going over old files that need serious updating.
That's my mission next week.
I want them current so I could use them to foreshadow something that may pay off much later.

So, when the stories are read, people will go "holy shit! Is that connected?!?! How?!?!"

You'll see. 😎

Fight for Your Finale I’d hate to see how (the original Quantum Leap) series finale would have fared in today’s age of social media dissatisfaction with everything.

New blog!
This week, I talk about series finales, and how important the ending of your story/ series is.
Hint: It's very important!

FYI: #BenAffleck & #MattDamon new movie #TheRip is based on a Canadian movie.
Here's the video for the theme song...

The Non-Alcoholic Blog Thankfully, I have never had friends or family try to sneak booze into my drinks against my wishes. Even if they didn’t always “get it”, they respected my choice enough to never trick me. Plus, they would really regret it. I used to be quite petty. Those thoughts are still there, but I don’t act on them. But, if someone betrayed me like that… they would regret it.

New blog!
This week, I talk about my experience being a person who doesn't drink among regular drinkers, and the value of choice.

A slow day, but still productive.
The hardest part is double-checking my mythology when I come up with a new idea, to make sure I haven't already come up with it before, and how to fit it into everything else.
It's hard, but kinda fun.
It also reminds me that I have accomplished a lot already.

Getting By 2025 I’m tired. I’m f**king sick and tired of this life I’ve wallowed in for far too long. I don’t want the last decades of my life to be the same as the decades that came before. How fucking dull and pointless would that be! God! It frustrates me just thinking about it!

New blog!
New Year!
Starting off the year with a blog about frustration at a lot of things, especially myself.

I haven't spent a day on the Infinatum in weeks! So it was cool today to delve back in and go down the research rabbit hole looking up information and locations.
Have to admit, Google Earth is pretty damn handy.

The Return of Physical Media ...how stupid would Raiders of the Lost Ark be if Indiana Jones just downloaded the Ark via Amazon, only to have it removed from his list because Paramount+ or Disney+ had the original rights and wanted it back…

New Blog!
My last blog of 2025.
This week, I talk about the recent resurgence of physical media and why it should always have a place among those who value music and movies.

Change the Way You Think I was growing tired of social media. Work was wearing on me too much. Financial stress, worrying about how things will get paid, or hoping that using one thing to pay something else will be covered before the end of the month. Plus, the future. Writing. Life. Happiness.

Finally, a New Blog!
This week, I talk about why I've been away for a month, and a struggle many of us surely deal with.

Meanwhile, on... butterfly social...

Why does this sound better when said with a British accent?
Can you imagine someone from the American south saying this?
Weird.

The Path of Least Compromise I have also been reflecting on my past, especially my creative past. One of the big things that was missing from those days, when I was working on screenplays and quite productive; social media.

New blog!
This week, I discuss my recent decline in social media activity, over-thinking the creative process, and creative isolation.

Are we living in a golden age of stupidity? From brain-rotting videos to AI creep, every technological advance seems to make it harder to work, remember, think and function independently …

Short answer: Yes
The majority of us are lazy and impatient.
Why think for ourselves when AI can do it for us?

Remember Boredom? we use distractions (smartphones, social medias) to not think about our own things. But what is worse? While in our boredom, thinking about things that affect our lives, or being fed a constant stream of doom and gloom from everywhere around the world like funneling sugar to a toddler?

New blog!
Are you Bored? Probably not as much as you used to be. But we need Boredom, more than ever!

Choose Motivation I know I have many things in place to help me be creative and get writing. I have projects to work on, I have three places to set myself down and work, and I know what needs to be done and how to work on them. Yet… I am struggling.

New blog!
This week, I talk about motivation and making the choice, even if it is from bad habits to good habits.

Hello September Choosing what is best for us isn’t always easy. Even after you’ve chosen, doing it can be the hardest part, especially when doing it alone, without foolishly comparing yourself to others. You won’t be able to do it like them, you can only do it like you.

New Blog!
This week, I welcome September with renewed hope, a fresh start, and the on-going battle against bad habits and poor choices.

Everything I Dream is a Movie There always seems to be an elitism, a feeling of being superior, when writing a book, compared to writing a screenplay. Oh yeah, I know it sounds lame, especially knowing the hardship authors actually face. Perhaps it’s a societal thing. Novels have a rich history and depth. Screenplays are just blueprints for a movie.

New Blog!
This week, I talk about my creative direction, and why it is important to follow my strengths without fear.

The Battle for Our Creative Hearts After the interview, she asked me about my writing, and I went into more detail. When I finished, she was intrigued about what I had done. She also told me how I had responded to the same subject during our interview. How I had made it sound unimportant, and that it wasn't a big accomplishment, when the truth was, it WAS a big accomplishment!

New blog!
This week, I'm updating an older blog because it still resonates with me, 10 years later.

What Am I Thinking? The Mayo Clinic says boredom can increase creativity and innovation, develop independence and self-reliance, and give us opportunities for self-reflection. But who’s bored these days, when we have our little plastic gods in our hands!

Finally, a New Blog!
This week, just some random thoughts I had about OnlyFans selling themselves on IG, Snyderbros, and the beauty of boredom.
Apologies in advance.

Making with the Ha-Ha I’m the firm believer that there is always humour in life, even in our darker, sadder moments. Not necessarily bust-a-gut laughing humour, but subtle, quiet humour that, for a moment, takes you out of the darkness, and reminds you life still goes on, for better or worse.

New Blog!
This week, I talk about reading my screenplays, Pedro's Coffee, and dealing with the humour that isn't funny any more.

Life Between the Right & Left The other week, my brother and I were talking about something and he asked me “I don’t even know who is left or right.”After I responded, I thought back and wondered when I became aware of what, or who, was “left” or “right”. I realized that labeling which side of the political spectrum I landed on wasn’t something I thought about until the past few years, when both sides have become more polarized by the other side’s actions.

New Blog!
Which side of the societal spectrum do you fall? Are you more in the middle? Is that a bad thing?
Read on, McDuff, read on.

More organizing and creating back story for some antagonists.
The annoying part is finding different files with similar histories that I have to combine and re-write.
I found one reference I had no idea who it belonged to. Tracking that down was tiring.

A slow, but good day.
I realized I didn't have a detailed file on an antagonist, so I used various sources to create one.
Sometimes, I forget that the files in my head aren't on my computer.

The Regular Job Life Regular jobs... instilled into me a strong work ethic that has carried over through the various jobs I’ve had. So with this blog, I thought I’d talk about my non-writing work, and how it has shaped my creative output.

Finally, a new blog!
This one talks about my regular job/ life experience, and how it has helped with my writing and creating.
