The Gallati Family Circus has never known a world outside of the big top. All they know is how to entertain and put on spectacular shows. One night, Dante Gallati springs a surprise on them by announcing a change; he’s giving them a new theme called “Cirque Macabre”. No one is pleased with the change […]
It was only your nature. It was my fault for placing my head between your teeth. But I knew you as well as you knew me. I loved you as much as you loved me. We were inseparable. In my heart for you, I thought I was immune to your ways, then I forgot them. […]
Writing instruments seem like such a minute topic that it’s almost laughable to talk about. So why are we talking about it? I’ll give you three reasons. 1.) J K Rowling wrote Harry Potter on a typewriter. 2.) My friend Gary Jackson wrote, “Missing You: Metropolis,” on a computer. 3.) I do most of my […]
“Poverty: the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions” – Webster’s Dictionary (Online edition) I’m late to this party. Apparently, everyone saw this last year and it blew everyone away. When I first set down to watch this, I thought it was going to be a […]
anything to have with you has been destroyed. What do you have now? Well, since the Starship Enterprise has been destroyed, which was the only thing I wanted, I guess all I have now is a phaser. I’m going to set that puppy to kill and go hunting. …For fish because I don’t kill and […]

In the DCAU movie, “Batman/Superman: The World’s Finest,” Joker makes a deal with Lex to kill Superman […]
I watched the yellow sun rise slowly over the green horizon until its full golden omnipotence spread across the sky reflecting colors of blues pinks purples and oranges into my salty eyes /// I stared like mother always said I shouldn’t until colors blended into spots the world around me turning black /// I heard […]
Whenever I tell people I’m a writer there’s always at least one person who says they wish they could write. But they don’t know where to start. My response is always the same. Start with the first sentence. Whatever the first thing is that comes to mind when you think about or talk about your […]
I’ve read this before and have had the pleasure of seeing it performed in London (Christopher Eccleston as Creon. *swoon*). It remains yet another reason that Sophocles is my favorite playwright. The heartbreak, the suspense, everything. There’s no comedy though, which I find odd. Usually, you have these ups and down in drama/storytelling. But no. […]
My favorite quote of all time has to be from Madonna. “People don’t say what they want so they don’t get what they want.” Ever since I read that a few years ago, I’ve been far more honest not just with people, but with myself as well. It’s like my mother would always say, “If […]
