Song of the Day – ‘Kiss From a Rose’

  I’m slowly moving away from the love song playlist as I’m done being ‘the Writer’ for a little while.  But I stumbled on this morning’s clip and had to share. I’ve mentioned in passing some of my favorite love songs I would choose for my own wedding that have already been used by other […]

The Prince of Gotham’s Thoughts on Ben Affleck…

  First, like everyone else, I’ll admit to being shocked by the announcement.  Good job by those who know to keep it under wraps until it became official. Now, let me preface my feelings by repeating some things I’ve said earlier in other places… 1. The movie is ‘Man of Steel 2’. Whatever mild surprise […]

Ramadan 2013: ‘A Life, Jimmy, You Know What That Is?’

   ‘Remember when you left Gotham? Before all this, before Batman? You were gone seven years. Seven years I waited, hoping that you wouldn’t come back. Every year, I took a holiday. I went to Florence, there’s this cafe, on the banks of the Arno. Every fine evening, I’d sit there and order a Fernet […]

‘Man of Steel’

  I’m one voice of many at this point so I’ll just drop a few non spoiler points about what I liked and didn’t like about the Superman reboot… No connection to any of the previous versions.  Acted like this was a brand new story.  Good call. Extraordinarily biased but seeing Clark sport Jayhawk and […]

500!

  The stats machine is telling me today’s post is post number 500. So much going on in ‘real life’, we’re right on time for some introspection… By the personal and professional standard I hold myself to, I’ve had back to back ‘house money’ years.  I’ve been in the Game long enough to know this […]

Song of the Day – ‘This is It’

  Your faithful narrator is going through a lot of mixed emotions right now: joy and elation, frustration, accomplishment, sadness, determination.  Not at liberty to go into details until next month, so be patient as I imagine the posts/song choices will be even more all over the place than normal depending on how I’m feeling […]

So I Won’t Have to Keep Answering These…

  This weekend went beyond my expectations so we’ll delay the music for a day.  I’d say from Christmas to now I’ve seen 80 to 90 percent of the people I care about, and certain questions keep coming up repeatedly.  So here’s a quick Frequently Asked Questions post for the other 10 percent of you […]

Confession…

  I have a confession… Even in my mind’s eye, when I made to this point where everything I wanted become more tangible and less hypothetical…I didn’t think I would be enjoying myself. That’s the truth behind the joke of ‘the Batman’ and my militant phase.  I have never questioned my various talents or my […]

Thanks – 2012

‘It’s happening.  It’s happening right now.’ As I’ve touched base with the people closest to me, that’s been the overall message about this year.  Everything broke right, the pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place, my confidence is peaking.  I feel like Neo in the pic above: you know you’re in the Matrix, you’ve […]

The Luxury of Silence/The Price of Honesty

  This is a story of passion, so let’s begin by using one of our passions as a way of easing into the story… I was watching The Matrix Revolutions the other day.  Not as bad as people remember, but as we all know, the third film in trilogies have a habit of leaving some people very […]
