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 [...]
Okay, after many months of hard work, “Anti-Social” is finally here! And it came out as promised, on March 20, 2010. Let me tell you that this project was a beautiful one for me. For the last six months, this has been at the front of my radar, and it has literally consumed my life. In a way, the album [...]
It’s a brand new year here at Swollen Thumb Entertainment. I started this site almost one year ago today, and I decided that I would start a tradition for this company, which is to announce the plans for the year at the beginning of each year. 2009 was always intended to be the set-up year for Swollen Thumb Entertainment, because [...]
Dashing through the snow in a one-horse open sleigh. O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way. Bells on bobtail ring, making spirits bright. What fun it is to laugh and sing a sleighing song tonight. Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells, jingle all the way. Oh! what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Jingle Bells, Jingle [...]
Dragons live through the stories of many different cultures and peoples, handed down through the many generations of humanity. Some people would have you believe that the legendary, fire breathing dragon never existed, but how can that be when so many myths and stories pertain to these majestic creatures? Whether the dragon is noble or evil, human-like or purely reptilian, [...]
Evil exists in this world. How can you say it doesn’t? Very few people would argue that there is such a thing as a good person, so why would they argue that evil people don’t exist? Some people seem to get satisfaction from causing pain and misery to other people. Call them sociopaths, or masochists, or whatever the medical community [...]
I can’t take it anymore! It’s like the whole world is laughing at me and I’m the only person who’s not in on the joke. What do they know that I don’t? Why do groups of people suddenly stop talking as soon as I walk into a room? I just know that they were talking about me. I swear that [...]
When you leave for work each day, do you ever wonder if you are make it back home alive? Of course, we all know that life can end at any given moment and that it is precious, but what is it really like to live each day in a constant battlefield? For the people of Baghdad, they live each and [...]
When people die, they go away forever, right? Maybe some of them do, but not all of them. It seems that some people aren’t quite ready to leave this dimension once they pass on. Maybe they are lost? Maybe they have unfinished business? Maybe they just want to stick around and torment the living. For whatever reason, they stay here [...]
*Warning: I set out to create a scary song, and I think I might have gone too far with this one. This is definitely an unnerving track, and if you are easily disturbed, then I would recommend not listening to it.* We all love to travel, don’t we? Of course we do. It’s fun to take in all of the [...]
There’s nothing that can make people as uneasy as the unfamiliar. While October and Halloween may seem like a fun little time for a lot of us, there remains a large group of people who celebrate it as an integral part of their lifestyle, much like how a lot of us celebrate Christmas.
