5-31-07 (Photo credit: chrismaverick) Something I’ve been thinking about lately (there’s backstory that has to do with a Composition Theory class I’m taking, but I know no one cares, so I’ll skip that). When you’re writing something, do you use outlines? If so, how formal of an outline? If you…
I remember a few years ago when Tobey Maguire Spider-man movies were coming out and Marvel had just started Phase 1 of their Avengers film series, Howard Stern made a comment that ALL movies and TV shows should have superheroes in them. He said it didn’t matter what it was… you’ve got a police procedural going…
Ok, let’s say you’re a guy who’s spent most of your adult life carving out a career for yourself as a user experience designer and information specialist. You build a nice little life designing enterprise software solutions and websites for Fortune 500 companies. You’re not rich, but you’re comfortably entrenched in the middle class with a respectable disposable…
So, while I was in line at the store to get cigarettes a little bit ago, I overheard something (you always overhear interesting stuff in line at the convenience store). Some woman was telling her friend that she was sick of the media concentrating on all of the negative press the NFL gets with Adrian…
So, @ArianaGrande was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live last night. I’d heard her a bit before but never really got into her. But, I decided that she was “kinda catchy” and hey, I have $12, why don’t I toss it at her album. Besides… I mean look at her. She clearly wants to be a Cosmic Hellcat.…
No matter what else happens before midnight, this is easily the best thing on the Internet today. No, this isn’t a Science Ninja Action Team Cosmic Hellcats spinoff, but it should be. Two armed “polygamist women” dressed like “ninjas” were subdued by a sword-wielding man during a home invasion, according to police in suburban Utah.…
Sometimes, I’m just ashamed to own a camera… So I like photography. In fact, I love photography, and as a heterosexual, red-blooded, American male, I have kind of a thing for erotic and glamour photography, hence all the random sexy girl photos that I have to accompany these little blog posts I do. They’re all…
3-23-07 (Photo credit: chrismaverick) This is kind of an epilogue to my most recent Telemarketer Theater. So if you haven’t read that yet, you probably should. in any case, SPOILERS and stuff. This is like after the film and after the credits, only instead of Nick Fury coming and asking…
Oh Hell Yeah it is!!! That’s right. At long last, It’s the one you’ve been waiting for. The Phone Sex Edition of Telemarketer Theater! Our hero, MAV is sitting in his office reading literary journals, because that’s just the kind of wild man he is. The phone rings in the other room. Mav goes to answer…
Ok, you know that movie where there’s a teenager who knows that the only way to be a real man is to have sex, so he decides that this is the year he’s going to lose his virginity and he spends like the next 90 minutes getting into all kinds of crazy hijinks in the hopes of…
I’ve often heard women claim that “men would kill themselves if they had to go through the culturally obligated beauty rituals that women have to.” This comes up a lot when talking about makeup and shaving but I especially hear it in regards to underwear, especially thongs and the litany of impractical lingerie offered by…
I live in Pittsburgh, Pa. It’s a football town. As a resident here, I am required by law to worship the Pittsburgh Steelers, forsaking all other gods before them. Football is a religion here. Do you understand the level of sacrilegious gumption it takes for a city to pronounce a football play as “immaculate” and continue…
Went outside for a cigarette. I’m standing on my porch and a car pulls up in front of my house very slowly with a couple in it. The window rolls down and female asks me “You don’t happen to have a daughter named ______ do you?” “Umm, no, but there’s a little girl with that…
If I stop to let you cross at a crosswalk, don’t wave me on. I get that you’re trying to be nice and courteous, but it’s not. I’m driving a 2 ton SUV. You’re on foot. You are at my mercy. I am not worried about you running over my truck. Thanks, -Love, Mav
