What’s this? I’m posting up something that’s not attacking the candidate I didn’t vote for? Yeah. I was thinking the other day about how I like to tout myself as an open minded individual and someone that can mix my faith with the open ears and eyes of how Jesus truly was. I also then [...]

I took my time reading The Secret Life of Houdini, and this isn’t half bad. It’s an easy and great read into the life of Houdini. The book moves from childhood through the start of his career, through his success, and ultimately his death and everything in between.
The book is written in such a [...]
Picture from NYT Website, Cause I can’t travel to Colombia right now.
I have heard it all in my days. I’m not very old, but I’m not incredibly dumb or very young. The more people I talk to, the more I realize that Americans just don’t like to read, and don’t like to think. (This notion [...]

Another classic book in the can as I try to get the most out of the years I spent learning how to read. I thought this book would be a nice departure from some of the serious reading that have been doing, and since I’m not always doing science fiction reading (I do a lot [...]
I hate war movies, mostly because they are long and drawn out and lack any real character study outside of “team” or “group” efforts.
