Tom Clancy was my favorite author in high school, right now it might be Larry McMurtry, author of Lonesome Dove.
Poetry-wise I favor Robert Burns and ee cummings. Robert Burns because I did a language essay on his classic Auld Lang Syne my junior year in college, and I recited the last stanza...
Got one—or more—of those? Movies that are ridiculous, dumb, and/or laughable, but you still enjoyed them for one reason or another?
For me it was the Goosebumps movie. Watched it this Easter at my cousin’s house during a party. Now I did have several beers before we got to watching it, and we...
I found out my Xbox 360 started reading disks again, so lately I’ve been popping in Call of Duty Black Ops a lot, having fun with jackass weapon loadouts in Combat Training against bots (they can actually be pretty fun in a derpy way). Also restarted FarCry 4 for the 3rd time and still enjoying...
The title reminds me of one of the last lines in Colter Wall’s song “Wild Bill Hickock”
He met his fate in Deadwood inside Tom Nuttall's place
Amidst a game of poker, holdin' Aces and two Eights
When up stepped from behind him the Coward, Jack McCall
The slug ripped through his auburn hair...
Them that don't know him won't like him
And them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different,
But his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
Lyrics from “Mamas, Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys” by Waylon Jennings and Willie...
Well to me, there’s emotion, and then there’s emotion. I own that I’ll practically bawl while listening to some songs. Won’t list them all, but for instance “And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda” by Liam Clancy or “Son of God” by Tim Eriksen can leave me in tearful awe (and on the last one, I’m...
I never would've imagined crying over pottery I guess...reminds me of the Star Wars trailer reaction video that's been memed lately, with the dude crying over sand being shown on the screen lol.
Back in my last year of college all us guys in the apartment got hooked on The Great British Baking Show for a bit; we took our sides as to which baker to root for, and would trash talk and troll each other’s choices throughout the episodes. Same with the Ninja Warrior show or whatever it was...
I've been really enjoying listening to some blues (primarily) lately, but I'd also like to discover more jazz. Anyone have some good suggestions?
Currently listening to what I call a "front porch" or "cool af" blues song right now...if I didn't have to go to work, I'd be outside enjoying this...
Well hell, now that I’ve heard it...

Ah nice, those definitely have some groove in them. Interestingly, the North Coast brewery up in Fort Bragg in California here makes a Brother Thelonious Belgian style beer, that is pretty good, if a bit different. Listening to Brilliant Corners, I feel like the song and beer match lol. It might...
Been into some smooth blues/jazz type stuff lately. Goes perfectly with the bottle of brandy I've been working on at night, and maybe a cigar.
