Guardians of The Galaxy 2 – Lots of Jokes, Philosophy and Psychology with a hopeless ending. Analysis and Discussion.

So, I went and saw the latest Guardians of the Galaxy 2. After listening to a few reviews on-line everyone pretty much was saying that it wasn’t as good as the first one. I went in not expecting much and I Read more…

We Should Not Be Here But We Are

War and Peace – Patriarchy versus Matriarchy

I finally finished War & Peace after 2 years of reading!  The wonders of Kindle and being able to keep your place across multiple devices. I slowly consumed this grand novel like one would eat a small elephant. A little Read more…

You think you have Daddy Issues? – A look at Dostoevsky’s TBK

For me there are two types of fictional books. Book’s that entertain and give you a shot of adrenaline from either a fright or some plot thrill; or a dose of dopamine from some romantic encounter. These types of writer’s Read more…

Paradox – Great for your life if you can incorporate it.

There is something within us that dislikes and likes paradox at the same time which of course is in itself a paradox (Hence, the success of Terminator). For some reason there is something that seems to resonate on a deeper Read more…

Review of Stephen King’s novella anthology – Different Seasons

How (and why?) can a Steven King short story become the foundation for the highest rated movie on IMDB? Think of all the movies that have been made with millions (billions?) of dollars in special effects and perfect looking actors Read more…

Summer Reading NOT Going as well as hoped.

Well… Summer reading has not gone as well as hoped.  It is hard for them to want to read instead of watch TV, or play with their toys or… It didn’t help that we went camping for two weekends in Read more…

Poetry Results are In!

Well, the poetry didn’t go over as well as I hoped it would. I guess the poems I picked were probably a little bit too much for their ages.  I just wanted to expose them, though, and even if they Read more…
