About this blog

This blog began as just random tidbits that I would post of things that either irritated me or I found humorous. I still post those items to ease the pain of my third eye being blinded by a soup spoon, yet it’s evolved into so much more. I cover topics such as religion, entertainment, the unexplained, and whatever I may have thought was interesting at the time.

perhaps you will find something to your liking, or even disgust, but at the end of the day it’s my hope that you at the very least were entertained, and at most gave you something to think about.

World Entertainment: Sweden

My extremely limited knowledge of Swedish entertainment began in the 70’s with the Swedish Chef on the muppets, and continued with the super band ABBA.     My tastes have matured as I grw, despite the fact I still enjoy the occasional sweat serenade of the Swedish Chef and Delectable cuisine put out by ABBA. Or is it the other way around? Movies I have seen. 1) The Girl With Dragon Tattoo. I watched the original trilogy that was based off of the

World Entertainment: Russia

Okay, okay, before the animosity towards anything Russia due to the war in Ukraine for the past year, hear me out. Since this is a blog on entertainment and not a commentary on any particular country’s current geopolitical views lets not lose focus and flush ourselves down the current toilet bowl that is Russian politics. Lets start off with literature as this was my one and only attempt at reading a Russian classic due to it being a coworker recommended read.  War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

World Entertainment: Hong Kong

Okay so I actually had a difficult time deciding what my follow up World Entertainment entry would be. I wanted to do something on two of my other favorite directors Tsui Hark, and Stephen Chow but decided to settle on Hong Kong action films. To be more specific, the Kung Fu flick. My earliest memories of the Kung Fu genre was watching kung fu theatre with my older brother in the late 70’s - early 80’s. Not only was it something we could agree to watch together it was and is one of my fonde

Check your local listings for your region of the world. Those in England may choose to ignore this post or point and laugh as an alleged know it all American bu

Weird Tales: Robert E Howard

Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 – June 11, 1936) was an American writer. He wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery sub genre. The second spot of my weird tales goes to Robert E Howard. Not only did he write Conan the Barbarian stories he also wrote ( ) the conqueror, and ( ) of mars. Though he and H. P. Lovecraft corresponded with each other they had never met in per

The art of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi

Whether it’s samurai, yokai, and Oni to name a few there aren’t many who cand stand next to the incomparable Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.

He is also regarded as on

Osmium and the elements of Heavy Metal… Music?

The sciency section will be in the doobedlly doo down below. This isn’t an obfuscation on my part to keep the uneducated masses under the oppressive thumb of ignorance, but a very minor part to the blog as a whole. I will concentrate more on the aspects of entertainment. I hope you enjoy this hastily put together piece as I work on other blog projects.   I didn’t really take an interest in heavy metal until high school (America was still deep in the satanic panic during the 80’s)
