If I had to pick an author that I consistently love their books no matter how many I read, it would be Kurt Vonnegut. He takes on dark subjects (death, war, loneliness, etc.) and treats them with incredible humor and wit. His fiction, his short stories, and his essays are all equally great literature. But […]
So a few years ago I stumbled upon an album on NoiseTrade. It was Story Time by Zach Williams and after downloading, I quickly fell in love. I showed everybody the album and to this day I consider this my greatest find on NoiseTrade. Sometime last year, I found out Zach Williams and The Bellow were having […]
Here’s what I thought about two books that I was not familiar with prior to this list, #16 and 17 of the 100 greatest novels. An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser This is a long novel. Dreiser dissects the thought process of each and every character before and after an action. So it takes a […]
Well, 2012 is over and now we have 2013 facing us. I don’t know about all of you but I’m very excited about this new year. There will be many big changes and I can’t wait for them. -This weekend Halie will be moving to Houston to start her externship at Memorial Herman Southwest. I […]
Sorry for the delay, I had to take a short little trip to London. Anyways, back to the 100 greatest novels… I, Claudius by Robert Graves Or the full title: I, Claudius: From the Autobiography of Tiberius Claudius, Born 10 B.C., Murdered and Deified A.D. 54, in case you were wondering. This novel falls into […]
Time for the annual list of my favorite albums. Again, notice I said “favorite” and not “best” because this is all just opinions. Anyways, this year had some really great records. I had a lot of trouble narrowing the list down to 10. Here we go: 10. Ctrl – Derek Webb & Nexus – Sola-Mi […]
Halie (my fiancé) and I are celebrating our 7th anniversary of dating today, December 9th. Since we are leaving for London (!!!!) Wednesday, we decided to forego exchanging gifts. So instead, I decided to use my blog to tell the world what a gift Halie is to me each and every day. When Halie and […]
I haven’t read this book since high school. I always enjoy comparing my thoughts on books when there is that much time in between reads. Then, I was seeing proof that the totalitarian government like in this novel was going to come about at anytime. Now, I don’t believe it as prophetic. The benefit of the […]
Sorry for the short break since the last “100 Greatest Novels” post. I had to wait for Under the Volcano to come out on the Kindle. Anyways, let’s get back to it. Under the Volcano by Malcolm Lowry I’ve never heard of Malcolm Lowry before this. Even with being #11 on the 100 greatest novels, […]
White rapper from Seattle with Irish heritage… Doesn’t sound promising, huh? Well, think again. I’d like for you to meet Macklemore and his producer, Ryan Lewis. They independently released their debut album, The Heist, this year to surprisingly huge fanfare. The album went to number one on iTunes the night it was released. It also […]
