Superheroes were big when I was growing up.

Hollywood is forever recycling ideas and it is no surprise that Superhero … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – Spiderman 2 →

Tune Tuesday: Cry Me a River

One of my followers mentioned a few weeks ago that I needed to post more musical posts. I'm hoping to revive Tune Tuesday with a classic. I remember I used to hear Frank Sinatra talking about "saloon songs" and "torch songs." This one would be considered a torch song.

My Mind Overflows With Random Thought

Life used to have a routine. I could plan my day. Phrases like: Business as usual, status quo, day to day affairs, normal activities, daily grind, staying the course, standard practice, and as per usual - don't mean anything anymore. Nothing is normal anymore. As a midnight shift worker, it's hard to know what day … Continue reading My Mind Overflows With Random Thought →
