Lately-as in the last decade or so- I’ve been noticing a problematic trend in every superhero movie (and a few TV shows). This trend that seems to be supported by the studios and the government is a reductive and socially damaging idea designed to make us complacent and helpless to save ourselves from the tenorContinue reading “Change is (NOT) bad-A Rebuke of Superhero Media”

Dear Hollywood: PAY YOUR WORKERS, DAMMIT!!
Dear Hollywood executives, You seem to be confused about who makes you your billions every year. That is why I am writing this-to… clear up a few things. First of all, workers deserve to be paid enough to live on. Fast good employees or actors, doesn’t matter. They work for their livings, they deserve toContinue reading “Dear Hollywood: PAY YOUR WORKERS, DAMMIT!!”

You jest!! We are ruled by sick men Who cut down trees so none can sit in theirContinue reading “End the Empire”
Why are writers so obsessed with dystopia?!

Two projects, to be exact… The first is a serious story with diesel punk inspirations. It takes place during a war between fictional nations. Four men from oneContinue reading “Where have I been?

To Live
To live Is to struggle Every breath Is a theft. Every day a beginning To make it through one, a miracle. To live is violence No matter how you shake it. There are winners— And losers— In it all. For one victory, Ten defeats. To live is beautiful, Despite the carnage. Life weaves a tapestryContinue reading “To Live”
Immortal’s Lament
You saw me weeping Down by the roadway, Clutching my heartstrings Wanting to feel again You went and showed me The light in my darkness While I was knowing I’d have to bury you. Sorry for taking So long to come back Your children are lovely And look at how tall you’ve grown. I’ll tellContinue reading “Immortal’s Lament”
