The Advantage - Self Titled (The Advantage)
Original Release On April 6, 2004
The argument over what is “geeky” and what is “nerdy” is one that shall never fully be decided. Generally, those things which are “geeky” are marked by cult trends, artsy fartsy images, cuteness, classic video games in the Nintendo fashion, intellectuallism, thick rimmed...

Lists of Greatness
I have to admit it, I’m obsessed with movies. I’ve seen at least 400 of them in my short lifetime and know trivia facts about almost all of them. The definition of a movie buff, I will correct wrong quotes, comment on various knowledge while watching films, and immediately understand references both in and out of films.
The question remains, then, how do I find new movies to watch? Generally, I...

Picture . . .Perfect?
Two days ago a friend of mine posted a photo of another friend of mine on facebook.

Birth
I’ll let you know know that my thoughts are worth no more than yours. They are simple. They are shrewd. They are thoughtful. They are sometimes cruel. They are mine. They are also superfluous. The inter-world does not need any more thoughts, let alone mine. But I’ll give them up. They have nowhere else to go.
This is not a journal. These are not the inner workings of my life. They are...
