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 [...]
“Anti-Social” (The Album) Available For Download
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 [...]
In Defense Of Twitter Automation
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 [...]

The blogosphere, as a whole, is changing. Some bloggers can sense this, and are starting to adapt. Other bloggers are completely oblivious to it, and are going to be left behind. I personally believe that the blogging world is going to go through a massive change in 2010. Of course, I’m not a fortune teller, and I don’t have ESP, [...]

As most of you know, I’ve been working on Swollen Thumb Entertainment for over a year now. Over time, my dedication to this venture has gone up and down, and right now, it’s about as high as ever. However, I’m not focusing as much energy on writing articles on the website as I used to. My energy is going other [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

Working A Dream Job… Well, today I finished a two year stint at the local television station here in Cape Girardeau, MO. Working for KFVS-12 has been an interesting experience to say the least. Working on Heartland News was always a childhood dream of mine. I moved to the Heartland in 1989, and have been watching Heartland News on KFVS-12 [...]
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, [...]

A funny thing happened today. Long story short, someone that I’ve never met or talked to read something on my Twitter feed, misunderstood what I wrote, and got really bent out of shape. Now to the longer version. I’ve been using Twitter for the past several weeks in an attempt to promote this site, Swollen Thumb Entertainment. I’m still fine [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
