Opinions are like…

Everyone has opinions on stuff.  It is pretty much the basis of all blogging.  I use mine to post my opinions on game design, movies, music, TV and other random stuff.  As of this week, however, I’m not putting some of my opinions somewhere more visible.

Shakefire.

Over the last couple years, I’ve gotten a lot of free passes to movie screenings from them, and I’ve enjoyed participating in their message boards and reading their site.  So when I saw a call for writers I decided to give it a shot.  At this point, I’ve only posted one assigned review for Bias, the debut album of Bodyface, and I’ve got another review on the way for next week.

I’ll try to remember to cross post (at least by way of linking) but sometimes may forget.  At the very least, you’ll see them in the weekly tweet posts on Sundays.

The New Year…

A few years ago, I made a New Year’s Resolution: Not to make any more New Year’s Resolutions.

This wasn’t to be funny, or ironic. Its the basis of a simple belief against people requiring some landmark day just to get the motivation to better themselves, or to do something they should be doing anyway.

I still hold to this myself. But looking out at the world, I realize that people need these kinds of crutches to force themselves to stop eating the food they love but is turning them into a giant shambling mass on the couch in front of the TV.

Its not that I somehow view myself as better than anyone else, its just that I don’t need New Year’s Day… I have enough other crutches that I use to get the job done.
