Movies That Move Me, pt. 2: Robocop
I first watched this movie when I was 8 years old. It had come out four years prior and my family had a Beta tape of the movie. Remember BETAVISION? If you do, take your daily multivitamin with pride, cuz you, like me, are in need of some vitamins… Anyway, the movie revolves around theContinue reading “Movies That Move Me, pt. 2: Robocop”
Movies That Move Me
Part 1: the Last Unicorn I first saw this film when I was in my single digits. I was lost in the throes of Kindergarten and as such had no real grasp of animation per se, but this film stuck with me in the back recesses of my childhood mind. It centers around the titularContinue reading “Movies That Move Me”
Eroticism is beyond my understanding
Maybe it is because I gave up on romance to build better relationships with my friends or because I’m just not good at it, but the art of being romantic and even (gasp!) sexy is beyond me.

Been thinking about that one for weeks now. Never talked aboutContinue reading “Dreams of a God I Only Kind of Believe In”
Trouble at the job :(
I’ve had a long, LOOOONG line of toxic workplaces. So many I’m just sick of them altogether. My current job was supposed to be different, and for a while it was. But not anymore. Got two thorns in my side; a coworker who glares at everyone and comes in on his days off to talkContinue reading “Trouble at the job :(“
Been going about things wrong (TnV update/explanation)
Been a good while since the last Tom and Vince story left off with Vince floating in oblivion and Tom discovering he has a supporting cast beyond Morty and Satan. There’s a reason for that. Been trying to do a sequel to the last story off and on (now mostly off) and I have begunContinue reading “Been going about things wrong (TnV update/explanation)”
What to do for my birth month…?
My birthday is at the end of the month (September 30, to be clear) and I need to do something special for all of you for it… but what? The natural answer would be another Tom and Vince story, but I have been stuck on my current one for a few months now, dug myselfContinue reading “What to do for my birth month…?”

Would it hurt to forget All the wrongs you did to me? If I tried to build yet another bridge You would just burn it down You never wanted me as anything But a victim Happy Mother’s Day You’re an awful mother Goodbye
