I have a curious form of writer’s block going on lately. I think of an idea. I totally flesh it out and know the idea in and out. I even run the idea by other people and see if they like it. If they do, I get prepared to write about it. Then when I go to write about it I just can’t do it. I get nervous, self conscious or suddenly end up hating the idea. It’s weird and I don’t really know what to do about it. It’s pretty infuriating actually.
I do have an idea though. Ideally, this writer’s block is caused by a failure to concentrate. Why am I unable to concentrate? There could be a lot of reasons for that, but the one I choose to blame it on today for the purpose of this post is that I have too many thoughts. I can’t focus on a single thing because I am trying to focus on a lot of things. Basically, I have too much on my mind to properly concentrate. How do I solve this? Well, I just sort of spit it all out. RIGHT HERE. RIGHT NOW. Sounds fun, right? Well, let’s get to it. read more »

The more I think about this, the more I think I should probably do like five parts. I mean, everyone I cover in this one and the previous one are characters of my most favorite shows, but there are certainly shows that have been left out. That’s not because I don’t really like them, but because I maybe haven’t seen them in awhile and been able to gain that connection. For instance Freaks & Geeks is one of my favorite shows of all time, but I can’t tell you right now who I most related too. It could have been Lindsay or it could have been easily been Daniel or even Nick. I don’t know. You could probably also make a case for me relating to the female leads in Veronica Mars and Buffy the Vampire Slayer and that shit right there would blow your mind. So, yeah, we’ll have to see how that works out. One day we could see part three of this series because I really enjoy writing it. Whatever, we’ll figure that out later on with the show! read more »

I borrowed season 1 of Sons of Anarchy on DVD from my cousin and all I have to say is “holy shit, I love TV so fucking much.” I watched the first episode around 7 o’clock on Saturday night and finished the season this afternoon, but if I wouldn’t have had Nolan coming over today I probably would have blown through the entire first season that night. To me that’s one of the best feelings in the world when you get really wrapped up in a show and you don’t care what time it is, you just know that you want to watch ONE MORE episode and then when that one episode ends you somehow talk yourself into one more after that. That was me last night, Sons of Anarchy is a really good show and coming from me that means something. Not because my taste in TV is impeccable (it is), but because this show is not really in my wheelhouse. Tatted up bikers and Harleys aren’t exactly what you would call my thing (fags), but there is something about this show that completely hooked me and in just one 24 hour watching period this show entered the pantheon of shows I got addicted to along with LOST, Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, Weeds (which ended up disapponting me and then slightly winning me back), The Wire and Baywatch Nights. (Just seeing if you were paying attention with that last one.) It’s that good. Great actors (Katey Sagal, Lloyd from Undeclared, Hellboy, Don Draper’s Jewish girlfriend, dudes from X-Files and Deadwood, the list goes on and on), not a single dull episode in season one and just a really good season-long (and the makings of a series-long) arc. Great, great show.
