God Rest Ye, Merry Stormtroopers
5 years ago I wrote some nerdy Christmas Carols for my family… I always dreamed of recording them one day and this fall while I was out in California, a reunion with an old friend started me down the path to seeing that dream realized. Thanks to Kevin Porter of Flash Grove Music for interpreting…

The Family That Nerds Together
Nerd runs deep in my family. My father has it, my brother has it, my mother has it, my uncle has it, my cousin has it and of course… I have it. Nerdy things were not cool at school. But they sure were cool at home! My parents are huge Trekkies, saw Star Wars in…

Star Wars Re-Watch (Episode IV)
Obviously the Force is strongest with the original trilogy. No one in their right mind would try to argue otherwise. So here we go… Episode IV: -I have associated the 20th Century Fox fanfare with Star Wars for as long as I can remember. I was always disappointed when I heard it and Star Wars…

Star Wars Re-Watch (Episode III)
Out of all the prequel films, this truly is the gem. I’m not saying there aren’t glaring mistakes…the love scenes still induce gagging. And the way Anakin flips sides so casually…yes, it could have been done better. But that doesn’t take away from the overall strength of the film and the beautiful and tragic story…

Star Wars Rewatch (Episode I)
I’m not on a mission to convince you that the prequels are worth watching. I think that argument is ridiculous. We all have our feelings and opinions on the matter. I personally like them. They are deeply entrenched in nostalgia from my high school and early college years and yes…there are bad patches, but when…

Instagram #StarWarsChallenge
“There’s been an awakening. Have you felt it?” Anyone with a pulse has felt it. If you are pulse deficient, I really can’t help ya. But for the rest of us, in one month we will be watching Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Sure I’ll be at the Regal theater at the Oviedo…

Marvel’s Shipyard
Today I’m examining relationships in the MCU. Watching Agents of Shield last week led me to the realization that there are very few functioning or healthy relationships over at Marvel. Maybe it’s the superhero business…there’s hardly time for love much less relationship counseling. Has to be hard to find time for romance when you’re trying…
