Book Review of some books I read –
A Long Way Down by Nick Hornby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow. I loved this book to hate one or two characters. A simple four way story between four people destined to kill themselves. All on the same night. Together they awkwardly join together to become some eccentric gang of insane people gathered together towards a goal. Whatever that may be. By the end you want to throttle the young girl in the story and you want to hug the rest of them. It’s a fantastic little story of people, pain, struggle and in the end…twisted triumph. Love me some twisted triumph.
Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Holy crap. Zombies. Star Wars. Han. Chewie. ZOMBIES! ONNOMNOM!
That’s all you really need to know. It’s fairly terrifying (descriptions might make you squirm) but it’s a nonstop adventure in the deep darkness of space where everyone screams. And wants to eat your brains. ONNOMNOM!
If you like Star Wars, Zombies, Alien and all kinds of spacey scarey stuff…you’ll need to give this book a run over your eyes. It’s a fun little peek into the darker aspects of the Empire.
Ex Machina Vol. 1: The First Hundred Days by Brian K. Vaughan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Graphic Novels or “comic books” are always tricky. This one isn’t really. A cool little story with a mix of “Heroes”, “Batman” and a few others it takes a honest and fascinating look at life with superheroes. What it means to them, us and those around it all. It starts off a little preach with politics but sealed the deal as it went along. I’d be curious to see the rest of the series.
March 14 – Day 73 – Faith
I apparently missed the declaration that the movie “Avatar” was demonic and a whole bunch of other things. You can see the post, video and related text here at JackalopeKid. Come back when you’re ready.
I’ve tried to play nice with my brothers and sisters in the Christian Faith. I’ve done my best not to insult and denigrate Joel Osteen. I’ve tried to be Jesus in everything I do when it comes to those that are alleged to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. You’d be impressed if you’d been there with me as I felt urged to backhand and leg drop some seriously stupid people. That time has come to an end.

Phil Collins sang it best with his song, “Wake up call”. The lyrics are pretty topical to any time period and point in life that someone might be experiencing. That’s part of why Collins is a great artist. The question is how does this relate to me and my little life? Well, I’m glad you asked. Because it’s about to get real up in here! Or something.
I and my brother had a conversation after breaking down my latest dating adventure step by step. The question that came up was about what parts of us (as guys) are unchangeable and what aspects of us need to be thrown out with the kitchen sink when we start to consider starting a serious relationship with a member of the female gender. We didn’t finish the conversation but it started turning the wheels in the cavern of my mind (it echoes, believe it) and how this relates to me personally.
March 12 – Day 71 – Wrastlin’
I will admit to a few things that probably are terribly embarrassing or just plain weird. I like Star Trek. A lot. I have a terrible addiction to comic books when I get afford them. I enjoy Romantic Comedies. Musicals get me a smiling and dancing. I enjoy cleaning my ears with Q-Tips more than is normal or acceptable. There’s so much more, but I’m not willing to put the good blackmail out there for just anyone.
