    My friend, Russ.

    Let me tell you about Russ. He’s a kind soul, a hard worker, a Phoenix Suns fan, and one of my good friends. We both met when we were serving missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Boston. We connected because we had a mutual love for nerdy things and writing…

    WW84 Has Problems. Lots of Them.

    Patty Jenkin’s Wonder Woman was fabulous back when it hit theaters in 2017. We all agreed it was the best movie in the DC Cinematic Universe up to that point (if you don’t count the Dark Knight trilogy). It was a superhero movie that didn’t do anything astounding or terribly new, but checked all the…

  • Gratitude, a catalyst for happiness

    Gratitude, a catalyst for happiness

    2020 blows. So much has gone wrong this year. And it’s kind of just been one thing after another, hasn’t it? First we had the wildfires in Australia. Then COVID-19 punched the world the face when springtime came around, and it’s been kicking us on the ground ever since. We’ve had riots over racial inequality…

    Your boy’s TOP 5 VIDEO GAMES of ALL TIME

    Video games. What a monumental waste of time, right? Well, I have my reservations about that. From a storytelling standpoint, your boy A-A-Ron has actually been heavily influenced by video games. When I was first discovering my love of writing at a young age, the video games I played served as a catalyst for my…
