Batman 3 Didn’t Do It For Me
The latest Batman film really let me down. There were some really beautiful scenes and I appreciated a few of the special effects, but overall I wasn’t impressed with The Dark Knight Rises. My first criticism is Bane. He is the villain of the film and quite frankly, he was portrayed so much better in…

Ender in Exile (Recommended Read)

The original books came out in the mid 1980s and sparked an entire series of novels. So far, there have been eight in total. I found this hardcover of Ender in Exile in the discount…

Music for Skaters (Clean Version)
I love skateboarding and I love mixtapes, so I decided to bring both things together and craft “Music for Skaters” I love the artistry of mixtapes.

I’ve Been Saying It Wrong All This Time
English: Humming Bird – Texas (Photo credit: Wikipedia) I like to ponder over things, especially at stores. I examine the product carefully, turn over the package several times, ask myself whether or not I should buy it, if I’ll get good use out of it, if it is exactly what I want, if it’s worth…

Scrabble Tiles, Word Games, and YA combine in "Mutiple Choice"
Multiple Choice is a novel by Janet Tashjian that I knew I just had to read. I found it in the school library and was immediately drawn to it. It was one of those books that I just wanted to dive into and forget about everything else. Of course, I couldn’t do that. I was…
