The Horror Convention at the Church

Please don’t ignore this post because you think you have nothing to do with horror as a genre. Mo*Con II: The Intersection of Faith, Race, and Art went so much deeper. I’ve seen his name before, Maurice Broaddus. Genre horror is predominately written by white males and they’re generally not Christian. Not really news to anyone, just the way things … Read More

Jesus Junk

Why? I mean, sure, I think Jesus might like to go 8 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu, maybe sky-diving or rocky mountain climbing but really, do I need a statue of it?

Wolf Dream

I had a dream last night. I was a child, at grandmas house. It was when great grandpa lived there. I had to take the garbage out, it was dark out. I took it to the alley and there was a wolf. I had something in my hand that was food, I think. I threw it to distract the wolf … Read More

Thirteen Thursday

Thirteen Reasons I Miss Driving My Semi 1. I miss driving the graveyard shift because I always had a book on tape. I especially miss having the time to listen to completely unabridged Stephen King books (usually read by him.) 2. I miss waking up in a new place every day. 3. I miss experiencing the unique qualities of the … Read More

Nothing to Read Here Part 3

Here’s Part 1 Part 2 Chronologically speaking, I’m not doing well here and I’m going to have to back things up a bit. Most of the story I’ve told has been from 2005 until now, but there’s a pretty big event that I skipped right over, it was what put me in the hot seat. There’s so much backstory that … Read More

Nothing to Read Here (part 2)

Here’s part 1 From yesterday: Except Jesus forgot one very important detail. He forgot to let Uncle Ed live. The downward spiral of Uncle Ed’s mental and physical health began without many noticing, I’m afraid. To pinpoint an exact date or time frame would resemble an attempt to duct tape water to the wall. My Uncle Ed is my mom’s … Read More
