Racism In The Workplace

I Am A Gringo This might surprise you, but building Swollen Thumb Entertainment doesn’t bring in a lot of money for me.  It certainly doesn’t pay the bills.  Suffice to say, I am forced to work at a “regular” job until I can get my business on its feet.  However, I am not a big believer in having a “regular” [...]

New Album: “Lighting The Fuse” Available NOW!

Okay.  Let me come clean with you.  I completely lost my passion for blogging for a minute.  For the amount of energy that I was putting into the art of blogging, I just wasn’t getting enough satisfaction back from it.  It all came to a head when I wrote my ICP article, and had to read a bunch of comments [...]

In Defense of “Miracles” by Insane Clown Posse

First Of All I have been a big fan of ICP for 12 years now.  I find a lot of entertainment, and dare I say, wisdom in their music.  For better or worse, I’ve basically grown up with it.  Suffice to say, I’ve defended them numerous times over the years, due to their status as the “Most Hated Band In [...]

Broken Egg Faces Image

I’m starting a new tradition for Fridays. I’m doing this for two reasons: First of all, I’ve been preaching for several months now about how important it is to network with other bloggers and to get to know people who blog, but I’ve been feeling that I haven’t been practicing what I preach.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was nothing short of a phenomenon.  When the turtles came onto the scene in the late 80′s, jumping from the comic books to the hallowed halls of children’s programming, they literally could not pump out the merchandise fast enough to meet the demand.  They came with such an explosive impact that the powers that be had [...]
