  • Because there’s a socially acceptable acceptable age for some things… How would you feel if a fat, bearded, 40-something man like me came to your house trick or treating, no kids in tow, just me by my lonesome?

    I’m not saying don’t have fun as an adult. God knows life is mundane enough. You want to dress up for Halloween? Go ahead! I know I will be! There’s just something off putting to me about adults going door to door begging for candy. I’m just saying it’s kinda weird.



  • I set a goal for myself to get through as many of Stephen King’s books as I can before the end of the year. To date, I’ve gone through over half of the Dark Tower series, The Shining, Dr. Sleep, It, Later, Under The Dome, Bag of Bones, Desperation, If It Bleeds, and I’m working on The Stand right now. Most of them are quite long, 15 - 50ish hours.

    If you’re not into horror, I still highly recommend The Dark Tower series. The recordings for the first 5 books are over 100 hours. They unfortunately had to change narrators in the 5th book, as the original sadly passed away. He did an amazing job at bringing the characters to life.

    If It Bleeds is a short story collection, but it contains a sequel to King’s The Outsider, followed by Holly, which just came out last month.




  • The only fashion someone could possibly mistake me for having is casual lumberjack in the winter, permanent vacation in the summer. Seriously, comfy plaid shirts when it’s cold. Soft, breathable Hawaiian shirts when it’s hot.

    As for music, I’ve played bass for over 20 years, electric, acoustic, and stand up. Also trombone, baritone horn, trumpet, drums. My preference is blues, jazz, and classic rock, but I’ll play any thing fun. Before twitch cracked down on music, I’d take any request people could find on Rocksmith. Metal requests were usually pretty fun, if they weren’t too repetitive. There’s a lot of metal that’s like “play this same 8th note 64 times, now another 16, pause, another 16, pause, another 16, repeat…”
