Check it out: Fat Lip Film

So my best buddy Michael Lippi is an aspiring filmmaker and he has started up his own blog (against his better judgment) to review and critique film. He's quite the blunt and cruel individual when it comes to ranting about films, so if you enjoy a good, hard review of a movie (or just want to see a particular movie get its skull caved in) then check out his blog in my links.

Lately I've been keeping up with creative work. I draw a webcomic for my forum General Forum so I've been revamping my work. It's a ton of fun despite my severe lack of creative knowledge (I stick to MSPaint but hopefully a drawing tablet is in my future). Here's an example of it:






I've been doing a lot of soul searching after losing my job (company let me go, didn't have the budget, that's basically it) because I know I'm still young and school is still an option. I'm just not sure what I want to do with my life. Like most people, I want a job that I won't dread going to each day and I settled on a few ideas and all of them are in the creative realm. Gaming is my ideal field, I love everything about it. I've spent a lot of time in my life playing, reviewing and even writing essays on gaming. I may sound like a sociopath, but video gaming is not only my past time of choice, it's also a huge social phenomena that is changing the face of entertainment and our very own society. My writing has always had influences in gaming and I would love to put my talents to work in the gaming realm. Yet I would love to teach and sadly, my choices have come down to money issues. I'll keep you posted.

I also saw The Book of Eli and I'll try and post a review. Needless to say, it's an awesome flick but definitely not something a lot of people will enjoy.
