What I Like Right Now: The Walking Dead

Hey there.

Since I'm getting back into the world of blogging, I figured I'd do something I haven't done in a while.

I'm gonna talk about stuff that I'm liking nowadays.

First off, I'm a TV addict. Born and bred. I love good TV shows that don't turn one's brains till mush.

The majority of things I like are usually stuff that come across on the tube.

There are several TV shows that I watch religiously. Fox's Fringe, Smallville and Supernatural on the CW, Sons of Anarchy on FX, and Showtime's Dexter are just a few of the shows that I tune in to.

But the one I'm addicted to nowadays is the newest show from AMC, The Walking Dead.

Now, first off, I'm not a full on fan of zombie films. There have been a few instances, like 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead. But I've never been a fan of the genre.

However, I'm a fan of this show.

I was hooked into this way back in July, when I saw the premiere trailer for this at Comic Con in San Diego (I'll talk about my time out there at a later post.)

As I stood there, surrounded by hundreds of others, transfixed by the images of this upcoming television show. I knew that I had to see this show.

Then when it premiered, on Halloween night no less, the show got my attention. The first five minutes of it alone blew me away, and from then on, I've found my latest TV show addition.

The one downside of this show is the fact that the first season is so short, six episodes in all. But they've put together a good blend of the scare factor with the zombies and the human drama of the survivors trying to make due in the aftermath of the apocalypse. The show will be back for a longer second seasson, 13 episodes, but more than likely it won't return again till next Halloween.

In any event, this show has become one of my faves. From the haunting theme song to the performances of the cast to the downright gory look of the zombies themselves, it has hit all the buttons. I can't wait to see where this goes next.

That's the latest with what I'm liking right now. From time to time, I'll touch on other things I like. It can range from movies and other TV shows, to stuff that I pick up at the stores.

Blog at you soon.

Getting Back into the Blog

Hey there, it's been over a year since I last made an entry here. It's a bad habit I have, getting distracted by work, other projects, and life in general that I sometimes don't have the time or the energy to go to this site and update things on my life.

In fact, I've been lately posting things on my Facebook page rather than here.

But this time, I'm gonna change that.

Starting with this post, I'm gonna get back to writing things on the blog. In fact, from now on this will be my main site. So, over time, I'll start moving things from my inactive website here and posting things here.

My goal -- and I'm going to do my best to stick with -- is to update the blog at least once a week. Probably over the weekend, when I can best put my thoughts together, or if events warrant, like a trip or checking out something cool, I'll have more than one entry a week.

But right now, this is me, getting back in the game, getting back to blogging about my life.

I'm also going to update and refresh this blog, putting some new stuff in and giving links to my other projects as well as my friends' blog/web sites. So, over time, you'll see changes to the look.

So, that's it for a start. Like I said, I'm gonna try my best to stick with it this time.

In closing, I just have one thing left to say:

It's good to be back.
