SOMETHING HAPPENED!!

Tom — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 15:30:29 +0000

Can you guess what it was? No, you don’t have to be an integral part of my day to know. It had nothing to do with my personal life, but if you follow this website enough then I think you’ll be be able to guess. A small something awaits you if you can guess exactly what happened. The event took place yesterday day on the website and was only present for a very short time. *tick tock* You have until the end of the day to figure it out. The first person to respond correctly via comment will receive a cool little prize.

Product – A Piece of Your Mind

Not that I condone such behavior, but this hand embroidered pillow is some of the finest art I have seen. For a measly $324.00 this blood-splattered pillow can be yours to brighten up your living room or guest room with. Think the price is a bit steep? Well so was the price of the poor bastard who “helped” create it.

It is recommended that you leave it in a room that your future in-laws will be staying in or will be spending the most time in and act as if it is the a normal to have such a pillow in your home.

Venture Guitars

Tom — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 20:15:44 +0000

The new year has brought many good things so far. Ideas, new people, bursts of creativity and the introduction to a great new company. I was recently able to correspond with a good friend from the band Therefore I Am, Travis Alexander. He has spent the last few months, and I have observed the past few months, working on bringing custom guitars to the music world.

Venture Guitars, his custom built company offers custom guitars for musicians made by musicians. Venture boasts very affordable prices for their quality hand-crafted products who’s only limits is the creators imagination.

Live local, I say. All Venture’s guitars are created in the city of Boston.

“We build from the ground up. We buy wood from various lumber yards in Massachusetts and build guitars in Boston. The only thing we outsource is hardware. All wood is hand crafted in Boston.”

Custom guitars are no longer meant for the rich and famous. From the beginner to the starving musician tour the US in search of their big break. Venture will allow you to wow yourself and all your fans when you step out onto that stage.

@shagnast2100 <— If you haven’t followed yet, then you should. If you are like me, then you post every step of your day on twitter, and if you do that, then you’ll want to check out what it is that I’m up to. If you are in CT then I’m usually shouting some specials happening at my restaurant and you should check them out and take advantage, especially in these tough times. I’ve also been known to snap pictures of people when they least expect it. It can be quite comical. I enjoy the new followers I get here and there and love following new people. So I hope I see more of you soon!

NY Times Book Review: Comics

Tom — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 04:48:03 +0000

I like comics just as much as the next guy, but these stories here will have the class illiterate attending night school in a jiff. From political satire to children’s classics. There is something for everyone this holiday season and is sure to leave no one behind. My father gave me a quarter of his collection of comics this year at Thanksgiving and I have to say that I have a new found respect for comic books. A completely different way of storytelling and in my eyes, one of the hardest.

The Bachelor

Usually, I’m not into these show’s, but I think that this season will be a turning point in my TV watching career and I am going to open myself up to new ideas and concepts. This commercial caught my eye and I needed to share it with you all so you could all make your own decision. I hope you all will join me this January for what appears to be one of the most riveting serious of the decade.

Happy Holidays

Dear Readers,

I’d like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I am currently in Maine visiting some family and enjoying some quality time with those I love for the next few days. I hope everyone drives safely over the holiday. Eats lots of turkey and tell lots of good stories.

That’s all for now. Check back soon!

Dreamscapes

Tom — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:00:24 +0000

As of late I have been sleeping pretty well, but it came with a price. A price of not really understanding the dreams I am having. Anyways, my dreams have come extremely vivid to me in the destruction of the world around me. Mountains burning, dark skies, earthquakes, volcanoes and ultimately my death. It’s strange to describe because I watch my death in the dream. It is beginning to disturb me that the dreams a so clear and provoke such a strong emotion. Luckily, a girl is there to rescue me a few times and actually I move across a few settings of previous dreams that I have had. Clearly I need to stop having these dreams before my brain functions completely shut down.

I’d like to know if anyone else has had any crazy dreams lately? Or even just find out what your craziest dream was. Comment and let me know. Let’s get the conversation rolling.

Nay Sayers!

Tom — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 01:32:39 +0000

I just spent the better part of an hour reading through a discussion board of creative writers. Most of which was comprised of people asking the age old questions of, “When will I be published?” or “Is it okay to post on here? Will people not like this because it’s on the internet?” And I have to tell you, I was quite disappointed with pretty much everything I had read.

In the past hour I have learned two very important things. One, I am a huge optomist and that may come back to haunt me sooner or later. Two, the world, particularly the online world, is filled with Nay Sayers. When you reach the top it is important to remember how you got their. The people who lifted you up, the experience you gained, and finally the thrill of finally succeeding. Not one person on that discussion board had any good news for the people asking questions. Not one link or address or phone number to a person that would be happy to assist them.

Considering that the writing world might as well be Hollywood, I don’t expect much help from anyone. People are selfish and will do whatever it takes to keep themselves happy. I just do not understand holding people back with such amazing gifts. Especially this day in age, when all people do is sit in front of the television or behind a computer. Writing a few GREAT books is exactly what this country, whoa excuse me, WORLD needs.

So, people of the writing world, rather than telling everyone how horrible they have been going about their “shameless self promotion” provide the tools necessary for them to succeed in life. I, honestly, could care less about the conventional rules and methods of doing things and blaze my own trail. All the other writers out there should be doing the exact same.
