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” [...]

In Defense of “Miracles” by Insane Clown Posse
ICP Insane Clown Posse Bang Pow Boom Image

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 [...]

It’s Not “Bad” Twitter as a tool is finally starting to come into it’s own.  People access Twitter for many reasons, whether it be for news, for gossip, sharing useful tips, or sharing what they have for breakfast.  The truth is that Twitter is used for countless reasons, and in countless ways.  It’s hard to find two users that use [...]

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 [...]

The Bloggers Of Tomorrow

The Bloggers Of Tomorrow There’s a major change happening in the blogosphere.  I’ve been talking about this for a few weeks now, on this blog as well as in the comments of other blogs.  Regarding the change, I’d say I could feel it in the air, but it’s not in the air, it’s in cyberspace, and like most things that [...]

Self Improvement Through The Workforce

Self improvement is one hot industry!  It seems that just about everyone wants to become the very best person that they can become, and are always searching for new ways to improve on aspects of themselves that they consider to be lacking.  The problem is that so many of us make the excuse that we don’t have the time or [...]

Whatever Happened To Good Cartoons Like Loony Tunes?

Allow me to start this article with a bold statement: Looney Tunes is the greatest cartoon series that has ever been made, and most likely the greatest cartoon series that will ever be made. I say this with such conviction and confidence for a reason. As a matter of fact, I have FIVE reasons why I believe that Looney Tunes [...]

Treat Your Career Like You Would A Child

In many ways, a career is like a child.  It starts out small, and then grows up.  And much like a parent will put a lot of time and energy into making sure that a child will grow into a successful and well rounded adult, the same came be said for those who go on to “raise” a successful and [...]

Family Guy Just Needs To End

Which Bandwagon Are You On? I’m not going to follow the masses of “smart” nerds on the internet and whine about how the show is horrible and isn’t watchable anymore.  Yes, I do have a lot of negative things to say about Family Guy, but let me state up front that I think that overall, Family Guy is one of [...]

You Need A Business Plan… Right Now!

I’m going to be extremely blunt with you right now.  If you are, in any way, in the process of making money for yourself in which you don’t answer to a boss, then you are running a business, and you need to have a business plan.  Without a business plan, you are doing yourself and your business a great disservice [...]

Exclusive Interview With Underground Rap Sensation: V Sinizter

First of all, I would like to thank V Sinizter for doing this interview.  I’ve been following his career for about seven years now, and one thing that I love about it is that you never know what his next album is going to sound like or what it’s going to be about.  He has made unpredictability into an art [...]
