@eemcintyre's top 118 favorite movies in alphabetical order

An admittedly random number that includes objectively "well-made" films with artistic merit, objectively considered-to-be-entertaining movies, and possibly questionable ones that I'm sentimental for or just like for whatever mysterious reason (usually a hot guy but not always). This is just what I like and the premier way to get to know me.

MIKE ROSS Third Eye Open #AlbumReview #RawRamp

MIKE ROSS Third Eye Open #AlbumReview #RawRamp

On April 28, 2023, MIKE ROSS will release his rock-influenced, 12-track album, Third Eye Open. The Preacher, th first song taken from the album as a single, is really weighty but completely enjoyable. Darren Lee’s drumming and Derek Randall’s bass notes add dark intensity to a song that is already as hefty as a cruiser, while guest vocalist Jack J Hutchinson’s supporting tones make the mood…

carlos could kill this guy. honestly, he'd wanted to kill darren since he'd first heard exactly what he'd put marina through. if it weren't for gabriel reminding him that a cop being charged with murder was a bad look for him and his future, he probably would have. all they could do was wait for the day darren messed up badly enough that he could be thrown in jail for a long ass time; he just hoped that day didn't include any harm done to his sister. because if it did - well, carlos may not be able to stop himself from doling out his own justice.

"of course, mare, i'm not going anywhere. if he tries to get near you, you start screaming, okay? tell him the police are on their way. and once i get there, you and i are going down to the damn courthouse to find out why this restraining order is taking so long to process."

of course, a restraining order was just a piece of paper. but when you had a cop brother and a ranger father, well - it would be much easier for them to enforce the order than for a regular layperson. carlos was in his cruiser, turning on the lights and sirens and speeding down the roads as fast as he could while being safe. while this wasn't technically a call on the job, he was going to abuse his authority this one time if it meant making sure that his sister was safe.

five minutes later and he was pulling up outside the shop marina had told him about.

"i'm here, marina. i'm coming inside for you, okay? everything's going to be okay."

@storiesfabled asked: “Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.” from the hurt/comfort meme

marina gave a shaky nod in response as if carlos could somehow see it through the phone. things with darren seemed to be on an escalation. ignoring him when he showed up in person and blocking him when he sent her or her friends texts seemed to make it all come in more frequently. she had went for a jog after work and there he was yet again. his eyes had been tracking her from a vantage point on the trail and he had yet to take his hands out of his pockets. skipping out on the jog despite wanting to show darren that he was not going to take her freedom away from her, marina had gotten an uber to a smoothie bar instead... and then nearly walked into darren as she was leaving.

how had he followed her here so fast? she hadn't had time to ponder before she had carlos on the phone and booked it back inside the building. here she was in broad daylight, terrified that he would try something. ❝ can you stay on the phone with me until you get here? ❞

Quasar Fire-class bulk cruisers were large starships used to transport large cargo. The cruisers were commonly converted into military usage, particularly as starfighter carriers. Their size made them difficult targets in large battles, protecting large numbers of vulnerable ships, as the Quasars unleashed swarms of fighters. The Rebellion often used these starships, to great effect.

Electric Love, Chapter 1

Word Count: 2.8k

Warnings: underage drinking, vandalism, mentions of murder/death, mentions of sex, tony stark *because him being him before Pepper is a warning.

"Come on Hannah, loosen up," he smiled as he tried to hand her the red solo cup. The twelve year old boy who was definitely interested in Hannah Stark tried for the fifth time to hand her the alcohol that he'd stolen from his parent's liquor cabinet. She looked around the woods and to the other friends who were with her. Kyle and Jenna had disappeared a little down the way and were probably making out by the big rock. Chad and Darren were dancing around by the fire with Allie, Marie ,and Tayla, "Hannah?"

"Dance with me?" she asked, hoping to change the topic and get the boys mind off the liquor he was trying to get her to drink. He chuckled and shook his head, muttering a quick 'no way.' She got up onto the hood of the old stripped-down mustang and started to dance to the pop song that was playing. She took his hands in her own and somehow managed to convince him to join her under the acceptance of his alcohol. She took the cup and took a big gulp, cringing at the taste. "This is horrible."

"I know," he laughed, "but it fucks you up."

She smiled, wrapping her arms around him and continuing to dance. It wasn't until the flashlights started interrupting the pre-teens party that he jumped off and bolted into the woods.

Tayla ran up to her, and grabbed her hand, "Hannah, come on! It's the cops."

"Shit," she cursed. She hopped off the hood and threw her solo cup away from her and the two girls bolted. Unfortunately, straight into the deputy.

"Jake," the thirteen-year-old, Tayla, said nervously, looking to her older brother. Tayla smiled at him, hoping that he'd give them a head start. The twenty-year-old Jake Smith gave a heavy sigh before grabbing his little sister and her friend, "Jake. Come on. Please. I know you used to do stuff like this all the time when you were my age."

"That's exactly why you won't," he scoffed, "I know you were out here with others. Who were they?"

"Snitches get stitches," Hannah said in a tipsy voice. Tayla laughed and the two of them almost simultaneously tripped over a stick that was on the path. Jake tried as hard as he could to keep the two pre-teens up, "What, Deputy Smith, can't handle two little girls?"

This caused Hannah and Tayla to giggle even more as the deputy pulled both girls up and led them out of the woods. A few more officers came out empty handed, but Sheriff Tyler came out with Jenna and Kyle.

Jenna looked mortified. Her father had caught her with Kyle, away from everyone else.

"Found these two off by Hadley's Creek."

"Kissing rock," an officer chuckled. Sheriff Tyler looked at him, and the laughter ceased, "want us to take em in, Sheriff?"

"Yeah, take the boy in," he nodded, looking at the officer who had laughed and Tayla's older brother, "you book em. Make sure officer Jones here gets the paperwork started and calls the parents. Take Hannah and Tayla home."

"Yessir!"

Hannah didn't know what to expect as she was loaded into the back of Jake's police cruiser.

Her mom had dealt with stuff like this for the past few months and was slowly becoming less and less surprised. Hannah was dropped off just a few weeks ago by Sheriff Tyler for spray painting the back of the high school.

She groaned, thinking about how her mother rubbed in her face that her absent father had to pay thousands of dollars in damages to get her out of trouble. Oh, how she loved to rub it in her face that the great Tony Stark had managed to save her yet again.

Like that somehow made up for him not being there. Like that somehow made up for him using her mom and then throwing her away.

The whole town knew about the fact that she was Tony Starks bastard child.

And the fact that her mother, Lindsay Thomas had cashed in on her chance to lived comfortably.

She groaned, thinking about how her mom hadn't had a job in years, and instead had chosen to shack up with the town's biggest drug dealer. Tony didn't know it, but his child support payments usually went to funding her mother's habits and the boyfriend's business.

But something didn't feel right when they pulled up to her house.

The lights were on, but the door was wide open.

"Stay in the car," Jake warned the girls. He got out, muttering something on his radio about a 'b and e' at her house. Tayla and Hannah went to get out of the car but couldn't because the doors only opened from the outside. A few minutes later another car pulled up and Hannah began to bang on the window, "Hannah, stop."

"Let me out!"

The two men shook their heads and drew their weapons, before heading inside.

"What do you think is happening?"

"I-I don't know," Hannah admitted, "when I snuck out, mom and George were fine...i I don-"

A gunshot rang out through the otherwise silent night. Hannah and Tayla's eyes snapped to the front door. It wasn't until a few minutes later when Jake came out, blood on his uniform that Hannah found herself sick to her stomach.

"Is-Is that blood?"

Jake got back into the car and didn't say a word to Hannah or his sister. As he started the car up, he talked into his radio again, "taking Stark to the station. Contact next of kin. Two bodies. Upper level, master bedroom. Female, mid thirties. Bled out. Multiple stab wounds. Male, early forties, suicide by cop."

Hannah's breath caught in her throat. Tayla's eyes went wide.

"What?"

Jake looked back at the two pre-teens who were now stone cold sober, and his eyes glanced a look back to Hannah.

"I'm sorry kid."

"No! No. What happened to my mom?" she asked wildly, turning around in her seat, as if that would somehow make the situation untrue, " No. Jake. You're lying. Jake SAY YOU'RE LYING. THIS ISN'T FUNNY."

"It's not meant to be funny," he said quietly as they pulled into the station, "I'm sorry Hannah. Your mom is gone."

2002

"And what, now that her mother is gone, I have to take care of her?" he yelled. She cringed. She could hear it through the thick doors of his estate that she had been dropped off at by a taxi just a few minutes ago, "that's what I was paying Lindsay for. To TAKE CARE OF HER!"

"Tony-"

The door had opened in the middle of his rant, and a woman with pin straight strawberry blond hair was staring at her. The tears that had long dried from Hannah’scheeks leaving them patchy and raw made the small ten-year-old look even tinier.

The woman took the bag from the social worker, who pursed their lips and shook their head.

"Come in," she offered. Hannah stared at the woman blankly, "I'm Pepper. I'm your dad's assistant. Come in. Please."

It had been two days, and neither the elder Tony Stark, nor his daughter Hannah were happy about the arrangement that they were now in.

Her mother was put in the ground quickly, and Tony had paid for it. But she hadn’t heard of nor seen him in all of her life. At least, not in person.

And now he was about to be a father for the first time, ten years after his daughter had been born. And that was something that all the money in the world couldn't fix.

"I don't like you either," the girl growled as she pushed past Pepper into the house. Tony and Pepperstared one another down, "let's get that straight. I'd rather be living at the cemetery with Lindsay than you."

"Great," he said sarcastically, "let me just go buy it and build a house for you so you can stay out of my hair."

"TONY!"

Pepper looked between the father and daughter and saw the similarities. Dark brown hair. Arrogant. Mischievous. Dark chocolate eyes. The girl turned her attention to Pepper, and she swore she saw the same softness that her father held for her.

“Mr. Stark?”

“Oh he doesn’t take things,” Pepper said quickly, her mouth drawing into a thin line as she took the papers from the social worker, “doesn’t sign them either, unless absolutely necessary.”

"Thank you, Pepper," she said softly. Pepper put down the bag and signed some forms, nodding to the social worker, "at least I'm stuck with one decent human being."

Pepper worked diligently the next few weeks trying to get Tony and Hannah to bond over something.

Anything.

She tried to sneak out. She tried to drink his alcohol. She vandalized numerous walls on the exterior of the property. How she managed to buy spray paint, Pepper still had no idea. It wasn't until one day by chance when she'd gotten into Tony's lab downstairs that everything changed.

Tony had been working on a weapon's project. The Jericho. While all the missiles were functioning, the timing was off.

"HEY HEY!" Tony yelled, seeing that his ten-year-old daughter was working on the screen. His eyes widened even more when he saw that it was the defence project. He ripped his daughter up out of the chair and dropped her away from the desk, "WHAT DID YOU DO?"

"Your timing sequencer was off," she replied simply, her dark chocolate eyes fixing on a glare towards her father. She crossed her arms, not daring to look away from him, "I fixed it."

His eyes shot away from the screen and to her, "you did what?"

"I ran the program and I fixed your problem," she replied, pressing the button on the screen that would play the simulation, "your calculations for the timing sequence was off. The ballistics weren't going off when they made contact, right?"

"How did you know that?"

But he didn't get an answer. She pointed at the screen again and he pressed the play button. the simulation appeared. As expected, the missile located the target based on the heat signature, adjusted for temperature, wind speed, and altitude, and launched.

The delay was gone.

He watched in awe as the missile guided itself, continuously adjusting. The code on the side was running faster than he'd seen it before. The outer shell broke off and a series of smaller ballistics missiles found additional targets to widen the spectrum and blast radius. The inner shell split, allowing the main missiles to separate.

Tony watched as they exploded when reaching the target. All of the missiles. No delay. No error in the simulation. The code stopped and a final count of the blast statistics appeared, showing it was a success.

He looked to his daughter, and she smiled, a shit eating grin on her face as she raised her brow at him, "it's fixed, right?"

"Yeah," he said in a confused tone. He narrowed his eyes at her, and then turned towards the computers. Pulling up the logs he saw that she read the code and adjusted it, "you-you didn't use paper or anything to calculate?"

"No," she said with a shake of her head, "I've always been good at math."

"Hannah that's way beyond what you should know at this age."

"I really like math," she said with a shrug as though it were no big deal. He skillfully glanced at the child beside himself and she shrugged again, "okay, and science. You know, one time I build a mini arc reactor for a science fair. Mom got mad because I almost blew up the house. Cops thought she was making meth."

"You built an arc reactor?"

"Yeah," she nodded, "It was a small one though. After the science fair mom tried to make me junk it. But the government came and took it away and told me if I built another one, they'd throw mom in jail. She didn't like 'sciencey stuff' as she called it. Said i'd never get a man that way."

"You don't need a man, kiddo," he chuckled, messing with her hair as he felt the connection that he never thought he would feel by siring a child, "you know. Your grandpa built the first arc reactor in the 50s."

"I know," she grinned, suddenly feeling a kinship to her father, "that's what made me do it. My teacher wouldn't shut up about it and I just knew if i could build one then it'd knock her on her ass."

Pepper smiled from the door as the two excitedly talked about everything. Proving people wrong just because you can. Developing technologies.

In that moment she knew that the two of them would be okay.

Or at the very least wouldn't kill each other.

2003

"What are you staring at?" she growled to the man in front of her.

Tony watched his daughter as she sat at the table, not eating the plate that Pepper had set in front of her. When she caught the movement out of her peripherals her eyes snapped to the young attractive women slinking down the stairs and trying to sneak out the door. She smiled the same wicked smile that her grandfather used to and Tony knew that he was in trouble.

“Hannah.”

"Oh don't leave on my account,” Hannah smirked, stabbing at the pancakes on her plate as she gave the woman her full attention, “Come. Enjoy breakfast with me and my dad."

The woman nervously looked to Tony who sat facing her at one end of the table, then back to the eleven-year-old sitting at the other end of the table, "I should-"

"Go?" she asked, raising a brow as she cut the woman off. Her eyes widened. She turned around in her chair and looked at her father, "You’re going to let her go now? She hasn't even had breakfast. It's the most important meal of the day, right dad?"

"Yeah," he said awkwardly. Hannah smirked and put her plate in the seat net to hers, "Hannah that's your breakfast."

"Nonsense," she said quickly. she looked back to Pepper, "hey Pep, can you make another plate? I gave mine to dad's girlfriend."

"Oh i-" the woman began, but she immediately stopped herself when Hannah glared at her. Picking up her fork, she spared a glance at Tony, "I-I guess I could eat."

"Good," Hannah smiled. She waited a few minutes, watching as the woman nervously bide her time with famous playboy billionaire Tony Stark, and his daughter, "hey...what's your name?"

"It's Am-"

"Doesn't matter," she said, cutting her off, with a shake of her head. Pepper set down a fresh plate of french toast and bacon. Hannah cut into it, and popped a piece in her mouth, "I'm gonna call you Bridget. Tell me, Bridget. Would you rather be feared or respected?"

"What?" she asked, nearly choking on the sip of orange juice that she'd taken.

Tony raised his brow but didn't stop Hannah.

"Would you rather be feared or respected?"

"Uhm, respected I guess."

"Why not both?"

Her eyes widened a little more, "what?"

"Why not both?" Hannah asked curiously, "if you were to have the choice, then who is to say that the choice to have both doesn't exist? Why respect over fear? Why respect over both?"

"I -I don't know?"

By this time Tony's 'date' had stopped eating and was staring uncomfortably at his daughter.

"A little advice," she smiled, putting her napkin in her lap, "if you want to be respected, don't fuck my dad and then try to sneak out the next morning. And if you do, at least wait until I go to school first. Capiche?"

The woman, so unsure of what to say, shook her head, "I should go."

Pepper tried to stifle some laughter as she finished making Tony's food and put it before him.

"Don't forget your Stark Special," Hannah yelled as the woman went for the door, "it's a great consolation prize. Every girl gets one when they bang my dad."

"Hannah!"

She looked at her dad and her brow raised. Pepper noted how alike the two were, yet again as they shared in the stare down.

"That wasn't funny Hannah," Pepper said through stifled laughter as she cleaned up the place where Tony's date had set, "apologize to your father."

"Apologize to him?" she asked with a laugh, "why? Now he definitely won't have to see her again. He should be thanking me."

Tony tried to keep a straight face as Hannah went back to eating.

As brazen as it was, Hannah had done this often when Tony had brought a woman home. And never once had he gotten away with the woman making it outside before Hannah caught her. So, this wasn't necessarily a new situation for the mix-matched duo.

"Really?" he asked, "The Stark Special?"

"I know what grandpa called that bracelet," she said with a giggle, "don't pretend it doesn't exist. I know it does, because mom had one."

'We were 100 per cent sure': Mounties mistakenly thought N.S. gunman had shot himself

It is one of the most perplexing aspects about the mass shooting in Nova Scotia that claimed 22 lives: after killing 13 people in Portapique, N.S., late on April 18, 2020, the killer decided it was time to rest for the night.

That decision may have helped him avoid capture for much of the next morning, as there is evidence to suggest police assumed the shooting had stopped because the killer had taken his own life somewhere in the woods inside the rural community.

"The narrative going around, particularly through the police radios, was an assumption that he probably killed himself," said Michael Scott, a lawyer whose firm represents families of 14 of the 22 victims. "The problem with that kind of assumption is that it can have a real impact on how they're proceeding from that point."

On Wednesday, the commission of inquiry investigating the case is expected to release a document describing what happened immediately after the killer, Gabriel Wortman, left the rural enclave at around 10:45 p.m., driving a replica RCMP cruiser and disguised as a Mountie.

Previously released RCMP search warrant applications show he drove undetected for 24 kilometres and parked his vehicle just after 11 p.m. behind a welding shop in Debert, N.S., where he spent the night in the vehicle.

The next day, the gunman killed another nine people -- both acquaintances and strangers -- as he led police on a 100-kilometre chase that ended when he was fatally shot by an RCMP officer who spotted him trying to refuel a stolen vehicle at a gas station north of Halifax.

Among other things, the inquiry has been asked to determine why it took police 13 hours to stop the shooter, and one theory holds that the police investigating the shootings in Portapique concluded the rampage had come to an end on the first night.

"That seems to be the basis for their assumption that he'd killed himself and nobody seems to have even remotely considered the idea that he somehow managed to leave Portapique undetected," Scott said.

The first RCMP officer to arrive at the scene, Const. Stuart Beselt, told a commission lawyer that he believed the killer shot himself after RCMP Emergency Response Team officers called his name using loudspeakers.

Beselt, in an interview conducted on July 22, 2021, said he heard "one loud crack" of gunfire as he and other officers were being sent home early on April 19, 2020.

"And I'm like, 'He just did himself in the woods,"' Beselt told commission lawyer Roger Burrill. "We heard one last loud crack and it was like, 'Nah, he just knows the gig's up. He just shot himself' .... I felt like the situation was over. They'll find him in the woods somewhere."

Beselt wasn't the only Mountie who guessed wrong about the killer's fate that night.

Const. Aaron Patton, one of three officers who advanced into the neighbourhood within minutes of arriving at the scene at 10:25 p.m., also said he later heard what he believed was one, loud rifle shot as police called out to the killer.

Up to then, there had been no single gunshots, he said in an interview with an RCMP officer on April 23, 2020. "It was always multiple gunshots. It was never just one, so we were 100 per cent sure that that was him killing himself in the woods," Patton said.

Aside from the officers' speculation, there is evidence suggesting the RCMP mistakenly concluded the replica RCMP vehicle witnesses had seen in Portapique was among three decommissioned police cars found later that night. Two Ford Taurus Interceptors were burning on the killer's properties in Portapique and a third was parked in the Halifax area, next to the denture clinic that the suspect owned and operated.

In an affidavit sworn on June 3, 2021, RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell said that on the night of April 18, 2020, police learned the killer had purchased three decommissioned police cruisers in recent years, and all three were accounted for early on April 19, 2020. There's no indication in Campbell's statement that police were aware of the fourth former police vehicle, also a Ford Taurus, that was used by the killer.

"They had accounted for three cars the killer owned, but discovered early on that the ones burning in Portapique were not fully marked, as they had been told by several witnesses was the case with the car the killer was driving," said Adam Rogers, a Nova Scotia lawyer who is writing a blog about the inquiry.

"Hours after the killer had left the area, police were still setting up containment points as though he were still near his home ....Two important ramifications are that all police resources remained focused on Portapique rather than expanding the scope of their hunt, and also that the police mistakenly decided against warning the wider public of any danger."

According to police documents, the gunman left Debert at daybreak at 5:43 a.m. and travelled 60 kilometres to Wentworth, N.S., where he fatally shot two men and a woman at 6:29 a.m.

Around the same time, the killer's common-law spouse, Lisa Banfield, emerged from hiding in Portapique and alerted police to the fact that Wortman was on the loose in a replica police car, a photo of which she shared with investigators.

It remains unclear what senior RCMP officers had concluded about the case by the morning of April 19, 2020, but the Mounties gave no indication they were still looking for a suspect until Banfield came forward. At that time, the RCMP quickly issued a bulletin to all police in Nova Scotia to be on the lookout for the gunman and his vehicle.

At 8:02 a.m., the Mounties issue a brief statement on Twitter confirming publicly for the first time they were looking for an active shooter. A tweet about the suspect's vehicle and RCMP uniform, however, wasn't issued until 10:17 a.m., almost 12 hours after officers in Portapique and 911 call-takers were told about the marked vehicle.

"You see how connecting the dots of all of these assumptions, all of these little errors, even if they're understandable, you start to get a view of how this guy was able to roam unchecked throughout the province for 13 hours," Scott said.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 8, 2022.

Beyond The Sea by dumbhuman

Seventeen year old Chris is going on his first real vacation: A Disney cruise with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. What he expects to be a fun getaway of baby-sitting, waiting in line to get autographs, and avoiding the sun gets turned on its head when his family is seated with the Criss's at dinner. Eighteen year old Darren, an experienced cruiser, suggests that he act as Chris's tour guide for the week-long voyage, and Chris agrees, not realizing that seven days is definitely enough time to fall head over heels for someone. But will they have their Happily Ever After?

I’VE GOT A FEVER (AND THE CURE IS MORE DARREN CRISS) OR IN SICKNESS AND IN SCHMOOP by  Thentheyhadsex

Chris is sick. Chris is totally, unequivocally, completely sick. It’s a good thing that he’s got four days off from filming, and apparently, Darren volunteering to be his personal nursemaid. He’s too sick to put up much protest, and suddenly Darren is staying at his apartment 24/7. And Chris… Chris is starting to realize he doesn’t mind this one bit.

If someone needs a "price check" or there is another reason for a hold up usually no one is happy about the situation. It means extra work for the check out person to either look up the item themselves or have someone help, the person it happened to is feeling stressed because they are "holding up the line" and the people behind in line are giving evil looks and looking at their watches wondering "how long it will take". Now let's look at the possible reactions..

What can I do for you?

Here, friends, is my super power:

I can create an entire book — a good one — quickly, with very little help.

You want a book with your name on it. I can make that happen.

Maybe you typed up a draft, and you’re not sure where to go next.

I can take it from here.

And anything smaller than that will be cheaper and faster.

Get on the schedule while you can.

Following are more details about me and my work.

Follow are links to different things D.X. Ferris makes & does. 

I am D.X. Ferris.

I grew up obsessed with music and reading. I went to school for writing. At the time, I thought I couldn’t create things. I didn’t know it yet, but I was wrong. I tried to quit. Writing wouldn’t let me. It kept pulling me back in. 

Once I figured out how to do what I wanted to do, I made up for lost time. Now I’ve covered a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction for Rolling Stone. I endured a career-ending injury. I’ve been to the Pentagon on business. I’ve written books with & about some of my iconic heroes. Communication is my business, and business is good.

I do a lot of different things. 

I am an award-winning writer, editor, manager, publisher, teacher, speaker, cartoonist, maker, co-author, ghost writer, and overall communications professional. To me, those various & sundry processes are all part of the same sphere — and here’s the common thread: Communication is the art of organizing information. That, friend, is what I do. I can do it for you. And we can make some money together.

I have written/co-written nine books. My personal record is four new books in 16 months.

I cut my teeth as a rock & roll journalist. Then I successfully transitioned to hard news. Lately, I’ve been creating motivational literature and self-help books. I write very effective press releases & promo material. I write & storyboard short videos. I’m writer for a documentary I can’t talk about yet.

I get around. I teach college. My CV includes work for dozens of publications, including Rolling Stone and Alternative Press (America’s two top rock & culture magazines). I’ve also written for leading outlets such as The A.V. Club and Decibel. I write and stage communication seminars. 

I have been to the Pentagon and National Air & Space Museum on business. I have been backstage at the Vans Warped Tour on business. My body of work includes book-length oral histories. 

I have collaborated with certified Grand Masters, civilians, and high-profile musical & Hollywood creative types. I have had Almost Famous moments on the side of the stage at European festivals. I wake up so early it hurts. I make money for my partners.

I am a 33 1/3 author. An Ohio Society of Professional Journalists Reporter of the Year. And a third-degree black belt (in Taekwondo). Also a 32° two-time WM/PM.

Let’s do some good work — and then let’s do some good with what comes from it.

Co-author of motivational/how-to Masonic leadership manual

I am the most prominent, prolific non-marquee contributor the music-writing/music journalism textbook How to Write About Music, from the brain trust running Bloomsbury/Continuum’s 33 1/3 series. TECHNICALLY, I AM ON THE SAME LABEL AS NEIL GAIMAN. This is one of two or three books on this topic. Note to self: Write your own.

Wrote the official book with Donnie Iris and the Cruisers For my money, Donnie Iris & the Cruisers are the best-kept secret from 80s rock radio. That had not one, but seven hot 100 hits. The bandleader/songer penned an enduring disco hit. AND he worked with three Rock Hall of Fame artists. The band have a continuous near-40-year run. During this epic tale, they work with a young Trent Reznor, Kiss, Breathless, Cinderella, Sam Kinison, Gamble & Huff, the Jaggerz, Wolfman Jack, and bunch of others. The book is a painstakingly researched oral history that plays like a mix of the four-hour Tom Petty documentary, the movie That Thing You Do!, and the American Hardcore book. Coffee-table book, 464 pages, 102 images, 308 endnotes, 8.5x11″.

Wrote two books about thrash-metal icons Slayer

One is part of 33 1/3, the vanguard series of music-related writing.

One is an exhaustively researched full-length biography featuring 33 images and over 400 endnotes.

Publisher of 6623 Press, home to creator-owned, useful, reasonably priced, unconventional books about popular culture, success, and other cool stuff. People like them.

Full-service, full-contact indie publishing. I write, co-write, ghost-write, edit, and publish books. Quickly.

Do you have book in you? We’ll get it out.

Worked for Rolling Stone, the no. 1 music & culture magazine ever.

I’ve been writing for Alternative Press — America’s no. 2 music magazine — off & on since 2002. More recent pieces are here. Older material is here.

Wrote for alternative newsweekly Cleveland Scene, in various capacities, for 8 years. Won numerous awards for news reporting, business reporting, arts reporting, commentary, feature writing, personality profiling, and sports reporting. Click here for profiles, business features, columns, reviews, and more.

I think this piece about Cleveland’s LeBron James banner won me the Ohio Society of Professional Journalists’ Best Reporter award: Literally the entire city was looking at an iconic, massive piece of public art/advertising — and I was the one person who looked behind the scenes. For alt-weekly Cleveland Scene.

For Rolling Stone, I interviewed a band and created unofficial liner notes for a classic album:

https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/they-might-be-giants-flood-track-by-track-guide-to-the-geek-chic-breakthrough-82345/

This kind of piece is a specialty. For Alternative Press, I interviewed an infamous punk musician about his friendship with the late, great Anthony Bourdain. I supplied many conversation prompts, transcribed it, then edited his answers into one continuous narrative, while I remained invisible in the piece. If it looks like I didn’t do much, then that was the entire point.

While the rest of the rock-journalism world were writing SOPA stories (Summarizing Other People’s Articles) about a developing story, I dug deep, excavated some court records, and wrote an informed summary. For Metal Sucks — for my money, the best metal news & views site.

Cover story/feature profile of the president of a local university — and how his work has helped shape the city.

What starts as a jaunt through dimensions, where Mailboxians (and Femailboxians) become target practice and other aliens get blown up for sport, becomes much more dire as the Space Cruiser takes control. (Summer is awfully cavalier invoking it, but it’s telling how much “ Keep Summer Safe” primes anyone watching for the ship-induced bloodshed to come.) Sensing that a bit of Interdimensional Cable and a Story Train callback won’t be enough to win him over, the three set out on a joyride in granddaddy’s space Jaguar. Turns out that his two kids are facing a bit of a similar dilemma with Bruce as they both do their best to soup up their own charms to win his friendship. So when Jerry overhears a conversation (classic unintended bathroom oversharing) that these demons and Rick and Beth are taking advantage of that pride in being uncool, he’s understandably shaken. Even when it leads to him cowering in a closet or getting his wooden chest used as a nesting ground for a colony of beavers, he’s achieved a certain level of self-acceptance that lets the show have it both ways. Those credits don’t transfer” is maybe the most succinct sum-up of any interpersonal relationship on the show), but “Rick and Morty” has gradually given Jerry a weird level of dignity in letting him be so unabashedly himself. Jerry has somehow turned the Yello song from “Ferris Bueller” into a bar-wide hit and the handful of demons are slurping up their Helltinis, feasting on Jerry’s lack of self-awareness.Įven though Jerry is the butt of these demons’ particular joke, the show has had an interesting seesaw approach to how he’s used on the show. All is going according to plan when Beth shows up (after a mass foal delivery night, naturally). Rick and Jerry set out for a Guy’s Night with all the usual trappings: beers, karaoke, a mystical cube that summons skin-flayed demons through a portal leading directly to Hell. It starts - as so many of these ill-advised adventures do - innocently enough. “Amortycan Grickfitti” splits up the kids and the parents for parallel tales that prove just how well each of the Smiths can succeed on their own if given the chance. “ Mortyplicity” wisely kept them all together (at least until another version of them got fried by a quantum laser beam or incinerated in a living room explosion). Instead of being an extension of some hair-brained Rick Sanchez scheme, there’s enough here to let them be a whole unit. After going through a seasons-long cycle of pushing these people to their breaking point and trying on different genre templates for size, “Rick and Morty” is at a point with the Smiths where it can treat them as an animated family. In a way, that honing in on quintessential parts of the series’ main characters is visible all throughout “Amortycan Grickfitti” (and “Rick and Morty” Season 5 so far).

Tegan and Sara's Teenage Years Form a Sweet, Scruffy Coming-of-Age Series in Amazon's 'High School' Paired with what he’s offering up, that delivery kind of says all you need to know about Morty as a person: eager to please, often incapable of doing so, but still trying with his own particular brand of middle school gusto.

#Gisto messing png free#

As someone who’s had to restart many a sentence like that, I recognize the specific way that Morty eventually spits out “Feel free to have some grapes” to new kid from school Bruce Chutback ( Darren Criss). Rick’s drunk slurring may be as variable as individual viewers’ tolerance for belch sounds, but there’s a very specific way that Roiland speeds Morty into Awkward Mode whenever confronted with something dangerous or unfamiliar. To start off, a performance note: The vocal stumblings of Justin Roiland, playing both halves of the “Rick and Morty” title duo, has become so ingrained in the show’s foundation that it’s easy to overlook just how well they fit both characters.
