Ask a Muslim
This was an idea I’ve had for the past few years to answer various questions my non-Muslim friends had about the faith. I just never made time for ti. Glad someone else grabbed the ball and is running with it. Enjoy!

So Now What?
A short story to start the week… A few people have asked me, now that ‘the Dark Knight’ chapter of my life has officially ended, where am I going next? As time goes on, that will fully reveal itself, but this is a nice segway: part of my time now is being a part […]
R.I.P. Sherman Hemsley
The stats tell me today was one of those days my blog exploded; no surprise since The Jeffersons were obviously part of the ‘Most Important Black TV Shows’ list I did a few years ago when I started this. Rest in Peace Sherman Hemsley. Your comedic timing was special.
The Completely Spoiled Fanboy Dark Knight Rises Review
Alright, it’s late Sunday night/Monday morning when this goes out, so most of you who were interested has seen The Dark Knight Rises at least once right? Good! If you haven’t seen it, leave now. Friday morning I gave my midnight screening, top level, not ruining anything for any of my friends review, if you’re still reading […]
The Dark Knight Rises
Return of the Jedi and The Godfather Part III. Those films have come up this week in getting ready for The Dark Knight Rises. After one viewing, my gut is telling me that’s the ‘class’ where the last Nolan Batman film will end up: by any other standard, a good film against what else is out there. […]
God Lives Through
The beginning of Ramadan is always one of my favorite times of the year. For the numerous flaws I could name in regards to ‘social media’, one of its benefits for me (this week and the next month especially), is in this cyber form of fellowship that’s taken place. Beyond what I have here […]
End of a Dark Era
A lot going down over the next seven days, so let’s try to not squash everything into next weekend… I don’t fly my fanboy/geek colors for a lot of things at this point, but one of the few has been this generation’s version of ‘the Batman’. Some interesting comic book turns, two great video games […]
2012 MLB All Star Week
Joe Posnaski and Kent Babb have both written worthwhile pieces about what this week means to my hometown from the sports columnist point of view; but as someone who spent his childhood going to Royals (now Kauffman) Stadium, I felt like throwing in my two cents… As best as I can remember, my grandfather only […]
The Process
Nothing good lasts forever. I had a nice little speedbump today reminded me my ideal run will need to take a detour at some point, and I’ve spent a lot of today frustrated. As I stepped back and put it into a larger perspective though, I had to laugh a little bit. I’m not […]
Halftime 2012 – ‘M’
Halftime. Michael. Michael was the first icon of my generation. He loved entertaining, and we loved watching him and listening to him and imitating him. Along the way, he learned/understood the value of being enigmatic. It’s a very ‘Hollywood’ thing to do; the myth/mystery of who you are behind closed doors becomes part of your […]
