Life was just getting settled into a nice, predictable routine.  My one and a half year sleeps through the night, I can watch most of my television shows within a day of their airing, I am mostly caught up on my comic book reading, and I can play my Wii a couple hours a week.  But BAM!  The reality of my second child coming, and coming swiftly, has sucker punched me.  The baby isn’t even [...]

  I generally don’t like alternate reality stories or future stories because I enjoy continuity.  That’s one reason I never really enjoyed DC books- it seems like the editors there are blowing up and re-creating their universe every couple of years to undo damage they did. That being said, Old Man Logan is one of the best Wolverine stories I have read in a while (not including the Mystique story, which I enjoyed immensely).  The story [...]

It’s funny. I love the show 24. Or I thought I loved it. I impatiently waited each week for the next installment. The only show I lookwed forward to mroe on a weekly basis was Lost. But a funny thing happened. A week went by, and though the newest episode sat idle of my DVR among Dora and Diego and Wonderpets, begging to to be wtached and appreciated, I didn’t watch it.

As we all know, Spongebob is a totally inappropriate cartoon for children ages 6-11.  It’s fine for younger kids, because they don’t understand, and it’s good for adults because… well… the show is really made for [...]

I just finished reading stephen King’s latest novel, Duma Key Ever since Bag of Bones, I have been less enthusiastic about King’s new novels, and often wait several years to read them.  Don’t gte me wrong, I go out and buy them as soon as they are released, but I let them fester on my bookshelf while I attend to shorter paperbacks.  I did them same thing with Cell and with From a Buick 8.

My name is Brad, and I am a dentist. When people first hear that I am a dentist, the look on their faces says it all:  Failed out of med school, didn’t you?  I know, bad old joke. Actually, the look says:  How boring.  You must be boring.  You must be a geek.  And some of that may actually be true.  But I never allowed my profession to define me.  Do I like to talk dentistry?  [...]
