Cleaning out Closets of the Mind

Hello friends. Its been a few days. Normally I do not take so long to post a blog but I have just stayed busy on things. A bunch on the eternal TO DO list that needed to get done. Plus some OT at the day job. I am burning the candle at all ends (even the middle). I am pretty stressed out but I am handling it.

Boy do I need a vacation... or more of these bad boys!

A lot of things have been on my mind. Change of seasons and change is in the air. The wheels are in motion on a few things. I made a decision last week that I think will change a lot of things for me in the artworking department. Something I wont be into until 2018, but the work begins now. I think it is about time I made a decision about it and I am confident I am making the right one. As the great Clive Barker said: YOU HAVE TO TRUST YOUR OWN MADNESS. I will just tickle your ass with that feather for now and leave it best unsaid until it happens. But you will know very soon.

I have a pile of things to do and even more things in my mind I want to take care of. With that on the burner we decided to take apart our tiny apartment this last week. We opened all the (gulp) closets and tossed a bunch of stuff and reorganized things. Our apartment is cleaned out, top to bottom, inside and out. I guess we are anxious to move, which will not happen until post summer 2018, but we cannot wait. The place we are currently in is way too small for us and when the kids or a guest comes to stay over, its even smaller. And speaking about artworking vibes, they are non~existent in this place. I tossed my old L SHAPE DESK in 2015. I miss that fucking desk. But I cannot get another one here. No room! Plus I do not think it could withstand my son Scott~bots weight if he used it to play on as he does. So I will wait until the move to get one. But I have no studio space, per sae. Just a shitty old desk with no room to draw on it. But in the new apartment, I will have plenty of space and room to hang up my toys and trinkets. I cannot wait for that. I am counting down the days.

On the artwork front, I am inking new Starslam 3 pages. I wrote a few additional scenes for the Pleasant Life sequel that I started a couple years ago and will finish by next year. I finished work on the new card set for Topps and mailed them in. I got 5 AP cards coming back, one of which is claimed. When I get them in hand, I will offer them up for sale. The big news is that I am now on another new set which I cannot name yet. Im back on a property that me as a seven year old would be stoked to be on. It was an honor to do before and with the excitement in the air about this thing, its an honor to be back on it. As an adult I am thrilled to be spending a bit more time in a galaxy far, far away.... (spoilers).

As far as new media dissected, I finally finished Preacher season 2. Some hits and definite misses. I like where it is going but so much is changed from what I am familiar with that sometimes the characters in the show, their motivations leave me scratching my head. We will see what happens if it is renewed. I have given up on Star Trek Discovery and will maybe (A BIG MAYBE) catch up with it on the back end sometime. The Orville comes back this week and it excites me more than the new Trek does at this point. Curb Your Enthusiasm season 9 is wonderful so far as well. New music: I got the Mike Portnoy Sons of Apollo album. Its his grand return to progressive metal and it is a warm welcome back! Sounds great, recommend if you like that sort of thing. Im also listening to Tom Petty, Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam and a round of some Ramones. I even got another goddamn Funko Pop celebrating my love of the Ramones:

Damn you Joe Rogers....

Well folks, I got a pile of things I gotta do. As always, I will report back when I got something new to say. But for now let me just report that Im fine, Im great and yes (as you may have noticed by now) I still need a new MAC keyboard where I can use apostrophes and a few other keys I miss. Let us enter the Halloween days by being safe, party responsibly and party hard. Rock your favorite costume and make shit happen.

I know I will.

Apocalyptic Mind Debris

Oh man does this look good or what????

Welcome back my friends.

This is literally the only moment I've had the opportunity to sit at my desk since this time last week. Had the boys over the weekend and every day beyond that has been overtime at the day job or just been too damn busy to get things rolling, creatively or otherwise. So that is why you haven't heard anything about my new book's Kickstarter (that I teased two posts ago). But rest assured it is coming. I got a few last things to do... some pinups to draw and color that I want to include in the book but I want to make sure its 100% in the bag before I start trying to sell it. So maybe another week or two at the most. I do have some commissions to finish from the previous sale I did and I got another one this week from a longtime trusted client I always do work for, even when I am not taking any work.

So I really haven't had much opportunity to get work done. But this weekend coming up I should get some breathing room and I hope to take advantage of it. 

All work and no play make Adam go something something......

While I don't have much time or energy to go out and play and live some life, I get to enjoy other people doing it around me. My co-worker just flew to Seattle for a wedding this past weekend and asked if I had any ideas of what he and his wife could do. Immediately I suggested the Sci-Fi museum. They took me up on the idea and brought back a picture of something that I would kill to see there. Probably the main reason I'd go there... the TOS Enterprise Bridge set!!!! (Well, what is left of it) Check it out: 

Oh, to be there and see that... I would weep openly.

At home, our cable bill raised $22... because my move in special from last year expired. So I called the cable company to see what other packages they had... because if I am going to pay that much I might as well get my dick sucked a bit. So we upgraded from 25 MB internet to 75MB and 10 channels to 140 channels. Last night I sat down for the first time in three years and actually watched TV after we got home. Immediately the commercials pissed me off. Heh! I never watch TV for that reason. But I did promise myself I would check out a few football games this season. I didn't watch any last year. I'm not MASSIVE into sports but I do love a good game now and then. Something about football season turns my nerd into a little bit of testosterone flowing in this old dude and dare I say, I become a tiny bit of a "man".... heh! 

Funny shirt from an indie cartoonist. I forget the guy's name but his shirts are funny. Look him up!

When the kids were sleeping this past weekend, D and I finally caught up with Preacher. Holy shit, has it turned awesome! They are nailing Herr Starr so well and the new stuff they have added to the show really adds a lot to it. I'm very satisfied with what they are doing.

We also watched an indie horror flick called "House of the Devil," which was a decent watch. Very slow paced but stylized in the 70-80s horror movie style (ala Rosemary's Baby, The Omen, etc). Worth a visit.

______________________________________________

Okay, filled you in on a little bit of what is going on around me... now some discussion on actual artworking!!!!

Yes, I am finishing up the new erotica book. More hardcore pron from me. It will launch soon, I promise. I'm getting that creative mindset flowing again and shit is starting to ramp up. I even considered doing some comic shows to get the juices flowing again. I heard of a show in my old hometown of Mt. Pleasant, but artist alley tables are sold out. They have some more expensive ones available but I don't want to invest that much money into it. It was more of a whimsy to chase for a day. Maybe next year. But I am excited to tell you guys that I did sign up for MSU COMICS FORUM for next year February. So after skipping this year, I will make a triumphant return next year. So that is a start.

Also my new sketchbook has been very active: 

This week my mission is to finish all commissions and the pinups for THE EROTIC ZONE and get it all pdf'd and ready for the printer. THEN the Kickstarter will launch. Might take a few days or a couple weeks, but I will get it done.

May the spirit of Bettie Page guide my carpal tunnel-stricken hands to finish this erotica that the world so desperately needs! 

My spirit animal!

Next time we talk I hope to have it all figured out.

PROGRESS!!!! (And comments on current events)

Hey friends!

After my last blog post I am happy to say that I actually took a day (my one day off that I mostly used to regulate my sleep) and did some work on the new book. I did a shit load of word balloons and colored three pinups. I got a massive chunk of it done and I am sharing some pics of progress below. SAFE FOR WORK and spoiler free of course. But enjoy the newest thing to come (very soon)!!!

Before we get to that, some comments on recent events:

---San Diego Comic Con brings a lot of cool news and things. Here is a list of things I got comments on:

1-JUSTICE LEAGUE TRAILER: Looks fine but sometimes modern movies just feel too flashy for me and might give me an epileptic seizure! The movie in my head will always be Chris Reeve, Michael Keaton, John W. Shipp and Lynda Carter playing those roles... But I'll never get that. I've always leaned toward DC titles more than Marvel, so lets see what happens. Likely I will be seeing that quickly unless reviews are abysmal.

2-STAR TREK DISCOVERY TRAILER: (Sigh) It is what it is and I will give the series a chance. Again, my TREK will always be everything from 1966-2002. Minus Voyager and Enterprise. So this is all we got. Whatever. Its... yeah, whatever. At least some of the gadget designs are inspired of TOS era stuff. That is something I guess. But so far I've seen nothing that makes me excited to see it. On the other hand...

3-THE ORVILLE: Now THIS is more like it! I'm super excited to see this show.

4-TREK TOYS: McFarlane does a run of TOS toys. Cool. (sigh) I'll need to get a second job soon.

5-DC VERTIGO: Good new art and the tease date of 080818 has me curious. More SANDMAN? Maybe something else? Cannot be more PREACHER without Steve Dillon. We'll see.

6-PREACHER (Rest of season 2 trailer): The HERR STARR stuff is awesome! I'm excited about it, of course. Season 2 has been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better than the first one.

7-BLADE RUNNER 2049: I'm not the most massive BLADE RUNNER fan, but the trailer looks like fun. Maybe I will revisit the flick. Somehow the first movie missed my radar as a kid.

8-STRANGER THINGS 2: Yes!

---LINKIN PARK singer suicide thoughts: I wasn't a fan of the band and I had the anger on because they "replaced" Scott Weiland in STP with this dude. Not his fault, but still. Anyway, apparently he and Chris Cornell were close. Some weird shit is going down. But if it truly isn't some weird conspiracy and is a suicide as it appears to be.... I will get in trouble for my stance on this, but it seems like there is this weird movement of "accepting" suicide when it happens. Look, your life is your life and yeah, I understand pain and its your right to check out if you want. But it really devastates those around you, whether you think it wont or not... it does. Both of these dudes leave behind a family and kids that will have to grow up with that shit. As a father myself, it pisses me off. Forget about the fans and all that... what about their kids? To me, its a selfish act. Not a cowardly act, but just extremely selfish. I gotta think that somehow substances might influence or alter brain chemistry to allow such a thing to stay in the mind. I've been to the point of thinking in that ballpark of suicidal thoughts many times in my life. But I will never do it because it will hurt those I care about. So I suck whatever it is I am feeling up and ride the wave. Things get better. Things will change if you want them to. I understand circumstances like disease and other stuff. I respect people's wishes. But man, I could never do something like that to those I care about. I don't get it. If you are feeling these thoughts, please reach out. Call someone or one of the anonymous phone help lines. Life is a gift and its always better above ground. I mean, we got burritos up here. And Lord of the Rings. And good STAR WARS and STAR TREK flicks. And THE BEATLES' music!!!! C'mon now. We live in a great time. Sure there are assholes and shit to slug through, but man we got some good shit going on too if you look around. Reach out and it will reach back. I promise. Life is for the living.

Okay, here are the pics I promised. Enjoy! (Its all coming soon!)

Something for Nothing

Hello friends. I didn't plan to blog this week. But my head is filled with random thoughts and my sweet dear girlfriend Kitty D told me its always best to "get it out" in some form. Either write it in my personal journal or share it publicly. So I decided to do it here. Forgive the randomness as I chase the whimsies in my mind this time around.

First of all, some new media talk. I watched the finale of PREACHER. I gotta say, I like where it is going. There's enough there that makes me interested in continuing. There's a lot of things I liked and didn't like about this first season. But the final shot of the finale to me is worth the price of admission alone. I won't spoil it, but for a fan of the comic series like I am, its all I've wanted to see from the beginning. They seem to be making things go on track to follow more of what I am familiar with for season two. So we got some exciting stuff coming. Maybe the trip to NYC and Si, Cassidy's friend. Or perhaps a visit with Grandma, Jodi and the animal loving TC. Its all coming. Very exciting.

I'm going to see Suicide Squad hopefully this weekend sometime. Early reviews say its not very good, but I'm learning to judge for myself. Plus at least I get to look at Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. That's gotta be worth $5, right?

Some new movies I've watched: Martyrs (Eh, interesting concept but too torture porn for me), Return to Class of Nuke Em High (I liked it, but where is part two already?!), We're the Millers (It was okay but I cannot recall laughing much during it), Samurai Cop (EXCELLENT!), Star Trek Beyond (Good. Better than I expected), I am Thor (Excellent Doc), Deathgasm (Fun but kinda blah in parts), He Never Died (It was okay.) Resurrection of Jake the Snake (Good Doc if you are into classic wrestling) and finally watched some episodes of STAR TREK The Animated Series that I either haven't seen or I don't remember that well. Always good. 

On my work, I have not done all that much this week. On Monday I had to take the kids at 6:30 am for a bit and drive bots to Okemos so I came back to catch up on sleep. That jacked me up for sure. Yesterday I wasn't feeling it so I watched PREACHER and did other stuff. Over the weekend I helped my pals Colleen and Caleb move (good exercise!) and then got drunk with Kitty D and her pal Jessica while playing some Cards Against Humanity. Sunday I had the boys all day. James helped me pack some more stuff for the move.

Ah, the move... In 23 days I will be moving into my new place in East Lansing. To say I am anxious for it is an understatement. At this point I just want it over with. I've been living around boxes of things for months now. There is lots of things to do and juggle until I get those keys. And I'm not looking forward to any of it. This will be my 31st move in my life. Yes, you read that right. I'm just over it. What is worse, in a year's time, I have to move again, back to this area so that I can take on the boys via joint custody and be in their same school district.

In some ways I will miss Grand Ledge. Its quiet. The building I'm in is pretty. But I'm anxious to get out and find some space of my own. I moved into this apartment with my ex girlfriend and it didn't turn out so well. So I am moving back to East Lansing, almost the same apartment I had before. Just restarting it over. But this time, I am moving in with my new girlfriend. We're going to try to build a life together. So far, despite all the shit that has been hurled our way though life in the short time we've been together, we've weathered it all and she's the most stable thing in my world right now. Thank the Lords for that.

But anyway, yeah, we are moving over there. Looking for quiet to start our world together. Becoming a well oiled machine and a team. We've got lots coming to tackle together. At least we get this time to make sure its all going to work out. Let's be honest: My track record for relationships hasn't been good over the years for various reasons. And this is my self imposed last shot at it. I hope this one lasts because she is the greatest thing to happen to me in a long while. I don't know what I would do without her at this point. 

Reading the social media news: Two artist pals of mine are doing extremely well. My old college pal Jay Fosgitt is now working for Marvel and doing all sorts of gigs. My old podcast pal Mark Brooks is doing excellent on his Han Solo books and even George Lucas has taken notice! It makes me so happy for them and inspired. I remember Mark telling stories about how he worked as a waiter, eating Ramen for months and poured all his money into art supplies and his time into his work. It has paid off. I've seen him tear up when he got certain honors. No one deserves success at what they do more than he does. And Jay, I know has struggled through various things over the years and has come out always swinging. Always with a rocket in his ass to keep going and doing things he wants to do. He's developing quite the following and getting tables at shows that all want him there. Its great to see!

Both of these dudes and a few others I've known over the years are hitting newer heights with their goals. I'm proud to know them and to see their success. It goes to show you that it never serves you to hold back from your dreams. You work hard, be patient and just keep kicking ass. Keep learning, growing and on to the next piece. As an artist, find your spot. Carve your place out. Maybe someone will notice. But in the end, art is not for other people. It's for YOU. It's your therapy. It's your dream you made come true. No one gave it to you.

I'm struggling folks. I'm trying hard to get fit (went to gym last night and OUCH!). Been off soda and caffeine for over a month now. I'm trying hard to keep my head in the funny books and get things done. I juggle so much in my life. A full time day job, keeping people in my life happy, paying off all bills, kids on the weekends... my time is very limited. Its almost as if the stars have to align in a certain way for me to get things done. All I want to do is work on my art and my writing. I want to finish things and stretch out and get better. I want to deliver my best. Its the struggle all artists go through.

My life has taken many twists and turns. Many ups and downs. I desire to just be at peace. I want to work hard and finish my books. I want to launch new projects and keep people interested in what I'm doing. I want to buy a house and never have to move again. I want to have a savings and be able to tackle anything that could happen, or have money to get or do anything I wanted as it came.

All of this will come... if I put in the work to make it happen. There is no grand secret in getting what you want. In life, everything comes down to one simple manifesto: IF YOU WANT SOMETHING BAD ENOUGH, YOU'LL FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. Everything else is just bullshit reasons you tell yourself why you can't do it. Any success in life, job, dream, relationship, etc comes from hard work. You can't get something for nothing.... take it from RUSH:

"Something For Nothing" RUSH Album: 2112

Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbow's end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days

Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer
To the question you have found
Looking for
An open door

You don't get something for nothing
You can't have freedom for free
You won't get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be

What you own is your own kingdom
What you do is your own glory
What you love is your own power
What you live is your own story
In your head is the answer
Let it guide you along
Let your heart be the anchor
And the beat of your own song

All of us here have goals. There are things we want. Things we must do while we are chasing the dream. But what emerges is the fruits of our efforts. Make it happen, folks. Make it happen. I've seen people chase it and come out with victories. So can you.

Have a good week/weekend. Thanks for checking back as always. Onward and upward.

BIG BLOG! My weekend, Life Goals, Preacher review and a HIATUS!

Lots to get to folks. Let's get to it!

First of all, had a relaxing weekend. Took my girl shopping and we spent time on the lake, taking in the smells and relaxing in nature. Much needed. Saw my boys on Sunday. I plan to have them for three days this coming Memorial Day. I'm looking forward to it. I'm letting life sort of drift along at its own pace since the smoke from STARSLAM 2 is clearing. Its kind of nice.

However with this relaxation comes some stress! Tried to leave work last night and my car was dead! I think it is the starter. Its at the shop now. Hopefully I can get it in and fixed before I have to work today! So it goes.

_______

I was able to watch the pilot episode of PREACHER. My favorite comic series of all time finally comes to TV! Overall, I'd say I really liked it. Some departures from the comic but I like what they are doing. I think the guys who play Arseface and Cassidy really steal the show. We'll see how it all unfolds. Been waiting YEARS for this show to happen. I'm gonna enjoy the ride.

_______

Let's get personal:

I find myself in a unique position lately. Now that I sort of rebuilt my life, finished Starslam 2 and bested myself in all these things, I find I'm standing here saying: "What next?" But also: "WHY?"

I got other comics and novels I want to finish very soon, but I find myself looking beyond that. Beyond the work. Into my day to day life and how I want it to change. I've been busy "nesting" for my new apartment I am moving into this August. I've got a lot of new posters, prints and photos all in new frames and ready to hang up. I've been getting lots of dvds, video games and vinyl to entertain myself with. Next I'm looking at furniture and just saving for it all. The day in August when I move cannot come fast enough! I'm itching for the change.

But beyond that, I have been thinking a lot about life goals and where I want to be in say, three years. Some things are for sure:

1- Anna 2, Pleasant Life 2 and Starslam 3 all will be done.
2- I will publish at least two of my written novels I have almost completed.
3- I will be down 100 pounds.
4- I will keep earning higher pay at the day job and saving. (401k and personal savings)

But #5 would be that I want to own my own home around then. My coworkers are all younger than me and are home owners. I find myself yearning for my own yard to mow and a place to plant flowers and a vegetable garden. I think I've earned that. I dream of what it will be like and how I can make it happen. What it will look like. WHEN it can happen, etc. I need space in the future for the kids to stay and play in. For me to play in. A big backyard to play in, cook out and have a bonfire. A place to really relax and feel sane. My own private Xanadu.

It will take a while to get to that point because my credit is shot. And I'm under the shadow of this bankruptsy thing I went through a couple years ago. It takes time to build. I've built a lot since last year. And it continues. My mission is life is to beat and succeed myself. I've done great so far.

Starslam 2 is now the highest pre-ordered book I have ever done. I am doing well and my work now and things are rolling smooth. My art goals are shifting to stay in the indie crowd and back away from trying to please the pop culture driven aspects of it. The work evolves, as do I.

But doing these things is not easy. Especially with so much anger and noise in the world. I am addicted to it. I find it hard to unplug from it all. But unplug I must. So I announce the following:

I’m taking a self-imposed hiatus from the internet. All social media will cease for a little while. I’m unplugging. No Facebook or Twitter. I may post a blog or a podcast every now and then, but mostly, I’m just going to stay away. I will not be checking in, either. I am handing over all my Facebook and Twitter stuff to my girlfriend. She is changing the passwords and locking me out. I cannot be trusted to disconnect on my own. So really, I will not be checking in. I will not get your messages.

It will be longer than a month. Probably a few months. If not maybe even a year. I cannot honestly say. But it will be a while.

Why and why announce it like this? Well, simple: Its time for me to unplug a bit and take a vacation. There’s a lot of noise in the world and I let it seep in. I let it effect me. I’m stressed and I am just tired. I’ve worked very very hard over the last couple years to sort of reestablish my life and get on solid ground. I’ve also worked very hard to get Starslam 2 done and get back out on the road doing comic conventions and appearances. I’ve achieved extreme success in all of these things. I’m very proud of what we’ve done. Starslam 2’s sales and numbers beat everything I have ever done before. I got my home life stable and happy.

I won.

I made it.

Now, I promised myself some ME time. Some sanity. I need time to back away from it all.

Maybe I will be working on another project. Maybe I will take a day to watch a flick, play video games, write music or lounge around reading a book. Maybe I’ll spend time with my loved ones. But one thing is certain: I’m not going to drive myself as hard. I’m going to take the time to unplug and chase the whimsies and find some sanity. I’m going to work on my health (mental and physical) and just work on my happiness without worrying about staying public with every step I take, and trying to stay in the public eye.

I think I’ve earned a break.

I say all this publicly not to be all “LOOK AT ME!” I do it to let you all know why I’m not replying or being active. I also know it will be a challenge. I will miss all of you. And I know that I am addicted to the noise. It will be weird to not be as connected and plugged in. But I think of how I was back in the day before all these things and how I was just fine even then. I will be alright, I assure. It is a demonstration of extreme discipline of myself and that is something I need to do. I need to focus on myself, happiness, work, etc. 

And lastly, I want to let you know that no, I'm not in a depression state and this is not a cry for help. This is me making a mature decision for my sanity. Maybe, an experiment to make sure I can police myself and just focus on the things I need to focus on. Close the noise off because it does not serve me.

If you need to reach me, email me at phymns@yahoo.com - That’s the best way. I will not have access to anything else.

Also: you are welcome to keep up with my blog here at idiothead.com – I will try to post every now and then to let you know I’m still alive and how I am doing. And there will be links on the FB, but nothing beyond that, letting you know a new one is up. But the posts will be irregular and you’ll just have to check in when you think of me. The Podcast will also be as irregular. Maybe I’ll do one, maybe not. Just depends. But for now, all I know is that I need a break. And with as much anger and fighting as there is about pop culture things, political things… its not a moment too soon! Maybe we ALL could use a decompression from the noise!

I urge all of you to pursue happiness and sanity in your own lives and make some space for you to be happy. Take some time to smell the flowers. Read a book. Look at the moon at night. Just… LIVE. Cause that’s what I am going to do.

When the smoke clears I assure I will be well rested, calmer and ready to show A LOT of new shit to the world. I just had one of the most successful years in my professional writing/illustration career. And You ain’t seen nothing yet!

Let me go dream it all up again.

See you soon.

Hailing frequencies closed… for now.

Update on Daily Life

Hey friends. I've been working lots of hours at my dayjob and after that, coming home to color on Starslam 2 and other things. So things are going well. But I have taken some time enjoy some new media. Around Halloween we watched a few different horror movies like The Conjuring and The Babadook. My co-workers have loaned me some awesome 70-80s flicks like Raw Force and Miami Connection. Seems like I found some like minded folks who like horrible cinema like I do. And of course, there are some great new things coming. For example:

Ash Vs. Evil Dead has started on STARZ channel. After watching the first episode I can easily say that its quite awesome. It gives you everything that you want in a TV sequel from the great trilogy. Its great to see Bruce back in action again. Give it a watch! I hope that all 10 episodes are as awesome as the pilot. It looked like Sam Rami really had some fun making it. So rest assured EVIL DEAD fans, you will not be disappointed! I wasn't. 

Coming up soon is the PREACHER Tv Series. Its no secret that PREACHER is my favorite comic series of all time. I know the TV show will be going in a different direction mostly, and I am completely fine with that. I get to re-enjoy the ride from a different angle. I look forward to it.

I haven't checked out any new WALKING DEAD or DOCTOR WHO yet, as we don't have cable here. But I will catch up. But I have watched a few new SOUTH PARK's on HULU and its a quite enjoyable season so far.

And a few people have messaged me asking my opinion on the announcement of a new TREK series coming in 2017. To be honest, an announcement doesn't excite me. Actual footage and seeing what they do would excite me. The show I would want is already existing... the fan fictions carrying on the adventures of Kirk and Spock using old 1960's style sets. Anything they make now would likely take place in the new alternate JJ Abrams universe. And its just not what excites me. But I will check it out when it comes. But so far, its just an announcement. Its just verbally jerking off. Give me a good series and then we'll see.

But what isn't jerking off is STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS. Everything I've read and seen looks real good. I can't wait to see it! And a new James Bond flick...

....its just a good time to be a fan isn't it?

Now go forth and enjoy the new media we've all been waiting for! And coming soon, you'll get some new media from me!!! ;)

---ADAM T.

p.s. Keep your eyes peeled here around Thanksgiving. I got something BIG happening around black friday/cyber monday. Something I shoulda done a long time ago. And its not just an announcement.... ;)
