I was standing around my local comic shop, BSI Comics, yesterday. And I asked if they had heard the latest news about the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight. That of course, got us talking about Heath Ledger, and how the producers are scaling down the publicity campaign (which to this point [...]

A Dozen Corpses
I’ve been thinking about death a lot lately. Constantly. End of the world, dying alone kind of stuff. I haven’t talked about it here, because it’s very depressing. I’m a paranoid psychotic. You do NOT want to read about the scary shit going on in my mind. [...]

It’s Carnival Time
It’s that time of year again, the number one tourist draw of Louisiana, Mardi Gras.
I have a lot of conflicted feelings about this season.
There’s traffic.
The pollution is out of control.
Drunk assholes are the rule.
Tourists everywhere.
Bad music. And above all a celebration of all things New Orleans.
Buuuuuuttttttttttt…
There’s also family
Friends
Boobies
heh heh, kidding.
That marvelous pastry achievement, King [...]

Pieces of Me
The very idea of a blog is self-aggrandizing. It’s terribly narcissistic.
So as long as I’m being obnoxious, let me tell you about myself. After all, if you’re reading this, I’m assuming you give a shit.
I’m Adam.
And I’m kind of a mess.
Okay… not quite that bad.
I’m 28 years old. I live with my [...]

Australian Affinity
Ever since I was a little kid, I have been absolutely in love with Australia. Hell on Disney, to me Australia was the most magical place on Earth. And it still is, sort of.
So many great things have come from Australia. Crocodile Dundee… Nicole Kidman… Farscape… the Tazmanian Devil… uhh…kangaroos… [...]

Dr. Adam and the Women
My friend Josh wants me to try speed dating with him.
My response?
“Ugh. Seriously?”
It just doesn’t seem particularly, umm… prudent. (Which, I realize, makes me a prude.)
I’m not all that familiar of speed dating beyond what I’ve seen in the movies. Honestly, how many of you think of speed dating and instantly flash [...]

Cloverfield review
When that freaky as hell trailer for Cloverfield came out a few months ago, I couldn’t not see it. It was one of the most awe inspiring trailers of all time. They didn’t even tell you the name!
They the viral marketing campaign started. It was a mystery, and we all [...]

No Future
There maybe no worse time in American history to be paranoid. Frankly, there’s a lot to be paranoid about. Illegal immigration, the spanish-ization of North America and the unionization of Mexico and the USA. Iraq, Iran, China, Al Quaeda… okay, let’s just condense that to the entire Eastern end of Eurasia. [...]

jacked in
A friend of mine offered to help me build my own website, one where I could publish online, outside of the illusionary walls of Myspace. It was a good offer. And I thought about it, but ultimately declined.
The thing is, more and more lately, I feel as though I don’t have much to [...]
