    You can take away my Droopy McCool & and Samwise Gamgee, but how dare you take away my Leisure Suit Larry! I have a weird attraction to those games: my name is Larry and it was cool it come across another Larry other than my father.
  2. The Next President

    Speaking of Sander Washington Post says there reason he won was because it how small the black population was in those states https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/03/27/why-did-bernie-sanders-dominate-saturday-caucuses-in-whiter-states/?hpid=hp_hp-top-table-main_sanders_blacks_1125am%3Ahomepage%2Fstory

  6. Books, books, books...

    This is going to be a heavy non-fiction year for me. I finished Black Flag: The Rise of Isis, Ghettoside and about to finish Being Mortal. The first is an excellent biography of Zarqawi, an in-depth exploration of the clusterfuck that was the Iraq War and how this all lead the birth and rise of Isis. The second explores why there's heavy "black-on-black" crime in South LA and why it goes underreported. It also explores the detectives who do their damnest to solve the crimes and the people who have to live with the crimes. And the third talks about the science of aging and how medicine and nursing homes have done an abysmal job giving people quality end of life. After Being Mortal, I'm off to Evicted, Conquerors: How Portugal Forged the First Global Empire, The Warmth of Their Suns, The Enternal Enemy, Freedom's Mirror, a book on Bitcoins, Empire of Cotton, The Half Has Never Been Told and others. I drop these books because y'all need to get on them

  8. I Had A Random Thought...

    Listened to the three part and afterthought of Stranger made me want to become a living organ donor. Been doing research on it and it's making more sense for me to be one. Also, been talking to someone recently, on and off. She's seven years older than me and has a kid and all that isn't bothering me like I thought it would.

    Ganges is probably Huizenga's best work. I love his work and whenever he releases anything, it's an instant buy for me. Are you a fan of Sammy Harkam?
