Finished with your Christmas shopping yet? If you’re anything like me then you probably haven’t ticked off a single name on your Christmas list — if you even have a Christmas list, that is. That puts you (and me) in a pickle as the never-ending traffic situation just seems to keep everyone away from doing […]

When you’ve been on a journey for so long, you may find that where you’re going isn’t exactly where you want to go anymore. Things change and a ship must course correct with the times. Doesn’t need to be an about face or a 90-degree shift, just some small adjustments may make the trip […]

posted by Karlo Samson
While the Twilight movie franchise is so utterly alien to the demographic I belong to, it was an absolute laugh trip to watch Bronson Pelletier and Kiowa Gordon trade japes with our very own Hilary Isaac at the ToyCon 2016 media event.

Converse Takes Pride In Making A Stand
posted by Karlo Samson
In the wake of the recent mass shooting at a gay club in Orlando, Florida, which senselessly claimed the lives of 50 people, it’s time more than ever to show people that hate will not be tolerated, that peace, love and respect are more powerful than bigotry.
