Book vs. Movie: Horns
Interesting blog and movie trailer #coolstf
People always say you should do the right thing. Well, sometimes there is no right thing. Then you just have to pick the sin you can live with.
A few months ago I wrote a review of Joe Hill’s book, Horns, and after watching the movie decided to go back and make some comparisons. I definitely enjoyed the movie and it sticks fairly closely to the book. It also plants a pretty square focus on the sins that people are living with.
NOTE: A FEW SPOILERS FOR BOTH BOOK AND MOVIE MAY BE PRESENT.
The movie version of Horns starts by going back a little before the blackout night that grants Ig his new horns, and while most of the encounters are pretty similar, there is something a little different about seeing them play out on the screen. Listening to people air their dirty laundry – some of whom are…

7 Reasons Why I Love Stephen King
He’s simply the greatest writer and a decent musician!
Pfffft (blows proverbial raspberry)…like I really need any rationale as to why I read Stephen King. His books are awesome. His storytelling is just unbelievably good. He is easily the most recognized writer of all time and will probably go down in history as one of America’s best loved writers. Timeless, in other words.
However, there are several things that stand out about Stephen King and are unique to Stephen King. These are attributes that not many other writers possess, and are elements that contribute to his timelessness.
Without further ado, here are my top 7 reasons as to why I read Stephen King.
7) His books are scary
Captain Obvious strikes again! The face of modern horror writes really scary books? Who knew???
All kidding aside, when I was 10 years old a camp counselor started telling us naive and impressionable 10-12 year old kids (I really need…

End Each Day With a Prayer
Great Blog great message!
Standing on the edge of time
Wondering what it is that I see
Looking at the great abyss
That God Laid out before me
So many opportunities presented
And I don’t know where I stand
What can I make in this life
With so many options grand?
I read and study and research too
Trying to understand
The clock seems to move faster
Tick Tock everyday
But everything is simultaneous
or so Philosophers say
So what then will I make of life?
And where shall I go?
Shall I travel around the world
and feel the ocean’s flow?
My calendar a great despair
as I put so much time behind me
The snow, the leaves the budding trees
Somehow it doesn’t seem fair?
But onward I travel and push myself
For I shall not despair
In the end I do what I can
And end each day with a prayer
