I think it was the word “required” that sparked my rebelous nature to forgo my school’s “require reading list.” Learning from my childhood friend, Cliff, I managed to make it to graduation with most of the books in my knowlegde base digested in Note form.
I had no bad reading experience that held back my scholarly [...]

My LOST theory is based on no spoiler knowledge except for the title of the episode for 4.25.09.
Things we know from prior episodes that are used in my theory:

John Locke has been transported off the island and has taken the alias of Jeremy Bentham
Abaddon convinced Locke to go on the walkabout that lead him to [...]

I’ve been listening to about 10 hours of audio books a week for the past few months. It sounds like a lot, but with an hour commute each way to work, they have been just what I needed to hear to stay sane. It’s great really. I’ve never been a reader because I’ve always found [...]

One of my favorite fictional characters has been on my mind lately: Batman. I just finished reading the issue where he is killed off in the comic book continuum. You may have heard about it, one of those events even mainstream media picks up. Removing Bruce Wayne from the Batman series is a bold move, [...]

If anyone out there is into comics I want to share with you a storyline going on the Green Lantern right now.
Green Lanterns are space police that use a power ring to create anything that their imagination and will power allows. Recently, a longtime enemy of earth’s Green Lantern, Hal Jordan, created a Sinestro Corps [...]

Combatic.com is a new site in my growing network of blogs. It is a site devoted to answering the question, who would win? A fan fiction site where I post possible outcomes of battles amongst favorite characters of film, TV, literature and comics. Feel free to view my musings and, if so inclined, debate the [...]

This is in +/- order depending on my mood. And, yes, I realize the Lord of the Rings Trilogy should count as three different films, but I have to think of it as one (very long) story.

The Godfather
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
The Godfather, Part II
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Silence of the Lambs
Jaws
It’s a [...]

The Dark Knight is a tough act to follow. To make it even harder, the Batman franchise’s biggest villain has been built up to be a recurring character in the movies, but the actor who masterfully played the Joker has passed. The Scarecrow is in jail, Two-face and Ras Al Ghul are likely dead and [...]

I’m from Atlanta, which one would think is a good radio market, but personally…not for me. Between the monotony of the same ten pop songs to the obvious relationship advice for people I don’t care about, I needed something else. The only station I liked, 99x, migrated from terrestrial radio to the internet. So I [...]

I’m going to nerd out for a moment to address the age-old fanboy question “who would win?
Every fight needs ground rules. My imaginary battle royal will be among DC comics main Justice League characters: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter and the Flash. The characters motivation for fighting amongst friends is important, so [...]
