A Break in the Blog…
One of the projects is the reading of the proofs of the Podthology: The Pod Complex (requiring this entire weekend) and the other is the novelization of one of my screenplays, and this really needs to get done sooner rather than later.
The Cynglish Beat: What’s in a Cover?
I wanted to achieve a few things with this cover, besides keeping the pages together, 1. It had to draw a viewer's attention. 2. It had to have some class & a professional look (too many self-published books look like amateur shit). 3.

Stand-Up Comedy & Life: Bullies
You can’t bully love or a repeat customer or a friend or even a business partner, because there are too many other choices out there and no one chooses a bully, except out of fear, and fear is a damned poor foundation for Success.
Stand-Up Comedy & Life: Theft
“Thou shalt not steal.” ~God, in an email to Moses~
Stand-Up Comedy & Life: Mistakes
“If a joke doesn’t work — fix it or dump it.” ~Dan Quinn~
