Hey guys, sorry to do this again so soon, but I’m going to be rather busy over the next two weeks. Afterward I will finally have my room all to myself again, and with it my computer, which hopefully means I will be able to be better on top of this blog.…
The only way that I would be ok with Gay Marriage not becoming legal.
The Supreme Court has recently finished hearing arguments for and against Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act, also known as Prop 8 and DOMA respectively. This decision will change the lives of every homosexual person in America. Now even…

So Game of Thronesis finally back, and of course I’m not gonna be talking about anything else right now besides this amazing show. I’m sure by now that if your don’t watch this show you know at least 50 people who are watching it and…
My final blog about my history with comedy. Check it out!
I bond a lot over comedy. Most of my interactions with other people are jokes. A snarky comment here, a sarcastic remark there, and if I can work it into conversation, then I have a few dozen funny stories in my holster that I can whip out and tell. In…

If you have no checked out Archer by now you don’t know what you are missing. Imagine a world like James Bond, with an ensemble workplace cast like The Office, and the overly offensive comedic style of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And…
Come read my continued journey in comedy!
Toward the end of my High School career, I stumbled upon a little independent film from around the time I was born. Clerkswas one of the biggest movies in my life. It changed how I thought movies could be written. After watching that movie a few times, I…

Come and check out my review of The Incredible Burt Wonderstone!
There are many styles of story that get used over and over again in both film making and every other kind of consumable media. One of the most popular story structures is the redemption story. The story where we have an unlikeable but somewhat endearing…
A bit of history in my comedic background. Hope you guys dig it!
For the past few weeks, I have been taking both sketch writing and improv classes and after every class, I head to the bar down the street, The Comedy Bar*. In fact, I’m writing this on that bar counter. Inside the bar are several black-and-white photos…
My review of Oz the Great and Powerful. Check it out!
Prequels are a tough thing to do. Especially when you are making a prequel to a movie that was made over 70 years ago. Times and tastes have changed since the original, and how do you build a climax when you ultimately still have to leave everything open…
Here’s my reaction to the 2013 Oscars. Hope you enjoy!
So another year has come and gone, and the tiny golden statues have all been handed out. And now that the Academy has spoken, it’s my turn.

I’m BACK! With a brand new blog about why its so great to be single!!! Read it!
Yep yep folks, I’m blogging again. And for my first blog, I am writing in the week of my 23rd Birthday, but instead of talking about that —or my insane life that has been my time in NYC — I’m going to talk about the other big day that happened…
Now for those of you who have read my incredibly sporadic posts on here, you have more than likely noticed that that most of my posts are rants about whatever the hell is currently pissing me off that month.* However what frustrates me the most right now are situations that I cannot blog about, not because I have a hard time writing about it, but because these situations involve other people. Other people who if they heard my feelings in a manner such as a bitchy ranty blog would probably be quite upset.
I’m normally not one to hold back. In fact if you came up and ask me a question I will always be honest with you.** But that is in person. That is in a situation that both you and I control. That is as a part of two sided conversation that is part of a relaxed give and take so that neither will get upset. The problem with posting blogs like the ones I’m talking about is that its all one sided, and if you are the brunt of this topic you will only get more and more pissed, sad, or otherwise to a point that most likely was not my actual intent.
Well now that I got that out of my system, lets actually talk about something next time, instead of talking about talking about something.
