Do More: ‘nuff said
Stack Paper: Having money’s not everything, but not having it is
Tell More Lies: I want to write more fiction. The only thing stopping me is me. If I sit down and do it, I’ll do it. Eventually, I’ll be happy with it. It’s that easy.
Don’t Waste My Gift: I’m good at one thing and straight at several others. I’m blessed enough to have a day job that lets me make rent and still have enough free time and energy to write. I’d be a fool to waste my time propping up an industry I’ve come to loathe. Any time spent writing about something I don’t have anything to say about is time wasted. Write more about what I like, and not just some dumb old comics.
Go Out: I had a lot of excuses over the past couple years to not go outside and hang with people. Depression, anger, fear, whatever. Time to man up.
Meet New People: “My presence is a present.”

Malcolm X came to speak at Brown University in Providence, R.I., on May 11, 1961. Burnley noticed that at the end of the article, there was a brief mention of another article — also from the Brown student newspaper — written by a senior named Katharine Pierce. Her article was the reason Malcolm X wanted to visit Brown. Lost Malcolm X Speech Heard Again 50 Years Later : NPR

Chopped & Screwed version of the Drive soundtrack sounds real sinister and funked out, like something out of Hell in the ’80s

I’ve got this vague idea that I should register a new website and use it to dump all the fiction writing I’m planning on doing, in part as a way to motivate myself (not that I’m not motivated, but doing things in public is different than doing things on your own) and in part because I like the sound of starting over online, sometimes.

He cried — and the judge cut him loose.

A disgraced NYPD detective convicted of planting drugs on an innocent couple was looking at jail time when he walked into court on Thursday.

He walked out with probation after blubbering that he was ashamed of himself and pleading for mercy.

The 60-year-old Compton woman, prosecutors say, tried to cash in on racial profiling by operating a human smuggling ring that hired mostly African American drivers who didn’t speak a word of Spanish to ferry small groups of immigrants from Mexico to Los Angeles.

Her plan was bulletproof. I’m really surprised that she got caught instantly.

Some will point to Alan Moore’s lack of “approval” or involvement as a bad thing, but that’s one of the best parts in my eyes. It’s good to see new creators taking on these characters. it’s good to have fresh voices reaching into these characters. If a character is compelling, there should always be more stories to tell. Moore’s assessment that DC is relying on his “ideas from 25 years ago” is ludicrous and insulting to the talented people working on these books. He didn’t write prequels, they’re writing them. It’s like saying all of his use of public domain characters is him relying on other peoples’ ideas from 100 years ago: he can’t have it both ways.
