Heavy Metal
With our new metal detector I found what I thought was a civil war sword, but in fact it is part of a plow. I dug it up this afternoon! Very exciting! It’s iron from Lynchburg Plow Works dated 1896. How cool is that! When I was walking the property, every couple of paces, I’d get a spark signal of some metal. It was just too could to dig. I know there’s a chest of gold hidden...
I got back the translation of my dictation and...
“The ghosts in the house were waiting. They knew someone would come to them. Ghosts mean us no harm. They’re never warm. You can see through ghosts like I can see through you. Him, him, him, him, him, him, he’s the only one you think about, but I have friends and the pipes have frozen. This group’s got your shit possessed, but there’s more, isn’t there? The...
Jerry, Jerry, quite contrary, how does your garden...
It’s a Winter Window Garden started in the kitchen! We’ll see if the deer will jump up this high to eat it! Got Spagetti Squash, Zucchini, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Egg Plant, Watermelon and Honey Dew! Now if I could only grow mushrooms and weed, but I just don’t know where to get seeds! It’s great here! We got a new metal detector for xmas and I’ve found what we hope...
CrapBook Pro
Dang! I need to keep the office closed to kitties! One of them pooped on my laptop! GROSS! The heat of the MacBook acted like an Easy-Bake Oven and turned the droppings into something not unlike the texture of a piping fresh oatmeal cookie, hard on the outside and gooey on the inside. I bet it tastes like shit, though! Them kittens are too young to know that was a wrong thing to do, so neither...
Start of something very similar...
…but kind of the same. I haven’t written anything in a while here. I’ve spent most of my time on Facebook. I did participate in the National Novel Writing Month event where you have 30 days to finish a 50,000 word novel. I reached my goal in 7 fun filled days. Now I’m thinking I’ll try to write a novel every week. Starting today; I’m writing one (50,000 +...

I’m touched by all the personal messages people are posting about what Steve Jobs meant to them. People that weren’t even Mac users seem to get how he changed the world. I remember when people told me how they felt when Disney died, or FDR, or John Lennon, or JFK… I was so depressed, but reading his quotes and the lovely comments from the people touch by his work has somehow...
Last Train to Lentzville!
Please come and visit it online! Five beautiful acres teeming with a multitude of inspiring subjects waiting and ready to become the next global art star. Nestled upon the highest point of foggy valley and surrounded by a dark forest, bubbling creek, eerie creatures, glowing eyes, and slithering reptiles, this lil’ shoppe is a factory of ideas and handmade goodness. The craftsman and...
I feel like a tool!
I used to have quite a nice collection of tools! I had power tools, tools for precision work, tools for specific and delicate crafts, but when I moved I gave them all away. Why? I just thought I had no need to ever use them again. I had no idea what was just around the corner. Now I have the space for a movie studio, so I need to build props and sets and rigs to hold lights… I need to build...

Cauterize this passion with a blood red kiss!
Searching for Halloween ideas JL2 was contacting a costume shop that we’re gonna visit tomorrow and the proprietor was describing the place and what they sold when suddenly she said, “By the way, I Gay!” JL2 didn’t know what to make of that. Like why did that make a difference? The conversation ended and JL2 looked up the website and read that the owners NAME was...
Scary Art!
I swear, I tried to wait! I just have to show you JL2 at work on a fantastic new icon portrait! JL2 is even using her finger on her! You can see she’s wet! Can you tell me who she’s painted and what film this is from? I used to be such a fan of his as a kid! Frank Frazetta was the man! He dominated the fantasy art genre and my young life with images of savage warriors, curvaceous...
I never wanted to have kids!
I never wanted to have kids! They are selfish, stubborn, gross, messy, noisy, stinky… But this little baby stole my heart today! He has a cute and deep lil’ voice that sounds all gravely and coarse. I like that! Is it fair when you have to watch the crap a 13 year old girl wants to watch, but she doesn’t have the common decency to watch the crap I want to watch? It’s NOT...
Come and smoke my peace pipe!
Looking to make a big change in my life! If facebook can change, so can I. Watched some WikiLeaks videos… Not a good way to spend a beautiful sunday. Watched, “The Lion King” for the first time, and is it just me or does Scar come across as kinda gay? I said I thought he was, but someone got upset and said he fathers a kid in part 2. I tried to tell her that even Nathan...
An Enlightened Master is ideal only if your goal...
The State Department estimates that there are 27 million slaves globally. How many slaves are working on your behalf? http://chainstorereaction.com/home/ My dad said he had kids because remote controls hadn’t been invented then. We laugh and joke while 27 million suffer… http://m.clip4e.com/play_clip_na_orion_slave_girls_ot_star_trek_enterprise.htm If I only had one dollar...
Don't take my candy!
I was just wanting to show you the new Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkin things because of Halloween coming up and then JL2 had to grab them! I tried to tell her I was just showing y’all what I’m hooked on now, but she seems to think I was gonna eat them! She hid them so I can’t find them! I think that’s rude! And it’s rude to you, too! Going through my movie...
JL2's New paintings are a SCREAM!!!
I just couldn’t wait to show you how artistically talented my sweet and beautiful baby is! JL2 has a great eye! Two eyes, actually! (What did you do to his eyes?) I wish you could see them in person, they look fantastic!! JL2 is showering now after going crazy with her talent tonight! There’s paint everywhere and it looks like blood (Oh the blood, Mother!) and when she was washing...
Sprocket holes made by my fangs help you breathe!
This kid was telling me how she goes to school with a Romanian boy named Vlad who has really bad asthma attacks, so her classmates being the nice and sweet little angels they are started calling this poor darling child, “Vlad the Inhaler!” I think I might need to lose some weight. I just bent over to tie my shoes and found my chin resting on my gut and not because I’m...
Horny Unicorn!
I think I know what I’m wearing for Halloween! Speaking of fairytales… Texas Governor Rick Perry says he has interpreted certain events through his life as signs from God. You really want a President that believes he gets “supernatural” messages from God. I’ve been trying to write my memoirs using A. E. Van Vogt’s writing methods, but ran out of...
When I'm upside down I can see up your skirt!
JL2 brought me breakfast in bed! Then she nudged me, “Baby? Wanna go to see if there are anymore yard sales out there?” How could I say no? It was a great day! I got a cool 60s style chair for $2, JL2 found a really pretty dress for 50¢ and got a neat free table! We didn’t stress about finding stuff or not, just chilled and looked and drove and looked some more. However,...
Eat me!
JL2 just asked me if I wanted a brownie, but added, “…or are you too full from the Pop-Tart you just had?” I didn’t want to admit I just had one and was pissed she’s keeping track, so I lied, “I didn’t have a Pop-Tart!” Then she says, “You didn’t eat one? What are those crumbs all over your belly?” Thinking I was losing...

I am proud to say I know the author of this brilliant work of SciFi! I loved “Starship Intercourse!” I loved the cover with the space helmets and nude bodies. The vacuum of space is okay on bare skin, just keep your head in that glass bubble! This is a really nice Instructable about a sweet dad that build an Alien costume for his boy real cheap with Dollar Store items! I think it...
Don't wanna get any sticky stuff on ya!
JL2 has been making crafts, painting my basement film studio, and trying to teach me to cook, but I ain’t falling for that because I know she just wants me to cook! I know what she’s unto! Trying to make doing projects and chores around the house seem fun and sexy… PLEASE! LOOK at the pic-a-nic basket JL2 refurbished! I wanted to show you as soon as I could how cool this is...
King and Queen!
JL2 painted another in her “Elvis” series of portraits and took it to the local gallery to sell. She’s so talented! You have to see these up close because the color and detail is fantastic! She’s working on creating a series of monsters, too. Hammer style stuff, Dracula, Peter Cushing, Oliver Reed… She’ll be like the female Basil Gogos besides she already...
I'm so animated when it comes to you!
My friend and technical director of Lentz Industries, Steve Kellener took JL2, ESP and me on a walking tour via Skype and iPad through the new state of the art Hollywood animation studio where some of the most artistically innovative and culturally significant flickering cartoon picture shows are being produced. Titmouse! http://www.titmouse.net/ I always wanted to be an animator and...
My dear deer!
My old ball and chain (JL2) dragged me out of bed at 9AM (!!!) to go to a bunch of hillbilly yard sales. I had things to do! Like what? None of your business! This is not what I thought married life as gonna be. What should I do? Well we’re back and it turned out GREAT!!! This may have been the best day I’ve had in a long time! The very 1st yard sale we hit was fantastic! Great...
To Boldly Go Where No Man Has... Well, a few have...
On this date 45 years ago (I hadn’t been born yet, but thankfully there was syndication) came the greatest TV series ever made! (up there with The Sopranos, The Simpsons, The Hills…) To celebrate this important date, JL2 and I are wearing our Star Trek bathrobes my technical advisor, Steve Kellener had Bill Theiss, the costume designer for Star Trek make for our Wedding. I found...
Shh, I'm watching Pay-Purr-Mew!
On September 7, 1927 inventor Philo T. Farnsworth and assistants successfully transmitted the first all-electronic television image. How do you feel about TV now? You know my silly friend Jack De Cat? Get a load of this; He was being fussy to me because I didn’t change the “old” water in his water dish to “new” water fast enough for him, and this feral cat we love...
OMG!!!
”Oh my God! You have to see the size of this cock,” JL2 asked over her laptop. In disgust I say, “No, that’s okay. I’ve seen enough porn, but…” She interrupted, “I said, ‘You have to see the size of this CROC.” Evidently there was a 1 ton 21 feet long saltwater crocodile caught in the Philippines in the news. Wah, wah,...
My eye adore you!
My eye is feeling better! Seems the pain and sensitivity was a result of the large amounts of various antibiotics I was ingesting. A few days after the prescriptions ended the sensitivity to light on my flesh and pain in my eye faded. When I was posting photos on Facebook of my heroes that had worn an eyepatch people wanted to know about Nicholas Ray, who I included in the pics. Well,...
Say that to my face! Look at me when I'm talking...
Today an old woman told me about her grandchild who was texting a post on FB and fell down the stairs at his college and broke an ankle because he wasn’t watching where he was going. “These children have no idea the danger the Internet and technology is!” On September 3, 2007 that adventurer Steve Fossett vanished after taking off on a solo flight over the Nevada desert. It...
SciFi, Sex, NASA, Occult, Cakes, Brownies, Fritos,...
On September 1, 1902, A Trip to the Moon, arguably the first science-fiction film, premiered in France. How will you honor the imagination and magic of Georges Méliès on this important date? Did you know that deep inside the Trinity atomic bomb there was a jar containing a fetus conceived by Marjorie Cameron and Jack Parsons, a founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Aerojet Corp? ...
Blastoff for High Adventure!
I really wanted to blastoff today! Felt kinds oogy. JL2 and her hybrid clone ESP have been coughing and sneezing all around me. Then I had to be lil’ Suzy Homemaker and clean and vacuum. Oh, and the neighbor was mowing his bigass lawn, so there was dirt, dust and pollen everywhere! I know it was affecting me because whenever I blew my nose it looked like Hershey’s chocolate syrup,...

"The Cycle" is the New film I'm making now!
Coming Soon! I’m shooting it with a new camera, new lenses, new equipment and some homemade stuff. Hope you’ll watch it when we finish! My One Film a Day blog is really helping me with research and inspiration, maybe it will help you as well. I’m posting some stuff here that I’ve come across that I found interesting. http://1filmaday.blogspot.com/ ...
It got hard…
…to read this book. I was up all night reading. I got at the thrift store. It was a very informative read! There was so much underlined stuff from previous owners that it looked like the CIA has censored the material. Was on Instructables looking at projects to build like steampunk rayguns, and slow-drip nuclear reactors. JL2 had to jump in and shout, “Look! A recipe for brownies in a...
I'm about to get creative in the next few days!
I’m gonna cut up some cardboard, hot glue it together in the shape of a robot helmet and a spaceman helmet, then fiberglass it, resin it, and slap some layers of bondo on it, sand it, paint it… It’ll be the first major movie prop that I’ve ever made! Hopefully, I’ll be able to pry it off my head! ...
The Bat-Building!
Today while driving around downtown Nashville in my Tumbler Civic looking for free parking in the 100+ Degrees and climbing as the a/c went out, I wondered why Warner Bros. hasn’t rented this building for “Rise of the Dark Knight” or whatever they’re calling it? See the Batman mask/head/cowl thing in that there skyscraper? Was looking for 3rd Man Records, but everyone...
Look into MY eyes!
You are now under my spell! Do as I say! Relax! Sleep! Your muscles uncoil. Your arms are so heavy. You feel so tired and your brain is sleepy. You feel GREAT! You are a giving person! You give yourself to me. You give your money, to me, what is a great charity! It makes you feel fantastic! To do what I say, is pleasurable! Bought Jack De Cat new type cat food… AGAIN! He just looks at it,...
Black Sunday
After shooting some gothic footage and stills of JL2 running through the forest chased by an unseen evil entity, I thought it was time to show her Mario Bava’s “Black Sunday” and see how she reacted. I really was expecting her to fall asleep. Not because her active mind would find the story slow, but because she worked all day starting before sunrise, then had to run and run...
Sweet on the outside and scary on the inside.
Very sad about this news. Jimmy Sangster was a very sweet and lovely gentleman. I’d been thinking about him quite a lot lately as I have been re-collecting Hammer films and information. This was sad news to discover. Please visit the Tim Lucas article for the perfect tribute to the man and his work. http://videowatchdog.blogspot.com/2011/08/pass-marmalade-jimmy-sangster-1927-… ...
I will hunt you down!
I hope when the silence takes you that it will take me, too! I can’t imagine what it will be like to come back the next time and have to try and find you all over again. I want our ages to be closer. If I leave now, I’ll be older next time. If you leave, I’ll leave with you! I will follow! Don’t leave me here in the dark. You are the light that scares darkness away! ...
Now it's dark.
To all the kids heading back to school; no sarcasm, snarky remarks, backstabbing, creating rumors… Nerdy/geeks, leave the physical bullying to the jocks and cheerleaders, they are professionals, you can hurt them by hacking their FB accounts, withdrawing trust fund money and sending rude email anonymously. Jocks, these nerds could one day create the industry that will lay your ass off...
Trust me, I'm a Filmmaker!
I doubt that when JL2 got me this camera as a gift she believed I’d be using it to make the kind of videos that I’m making, but a guy has got to have hobbies and sometimes those hobbies can bring in some money. When trouble recently arose with her family seeing some of the photos and videos I’ve taken of her, she began understandably to feel uncomfortable, so she won’t...
Don't look!
Today has been a lonely one. JL2 and E13 went to move MK-ULTRA into her college dorm. So it’s just 2 boys on our own! Jack the Cat had the right idea, he slept all day. I however, have been tinkering on a new script for a feature film, but my left eye has been hurting bad. Wearing this pirate eyepatch has made it difficult to navigate with my 2D depth perception. I should sleep, too! I...
I can remember it for you retail!
Have you ever wondered who you were in a past life? Don’t believe in all that who-ha? Think everyone that says they were someone in a past life believe they were someone famous? I found this show by accident and I have to tell you, I watched it late at night and it scared me! You MUST watch this, it’s great! These Australian women are hypnotically regressed to their past lives...
It's true, I'll let you pose nude for me! Yes!
Was asking kids if they could remember what they did on this date and how they dealt with the trauma. At first they seemed stronger than I was, maybe because of their youth, or because times are tougher now than when I grew up. None of them acted like they even knew what I was talking about! Then in anger, I said, “…these kids are just cold, stupid assholes that only care about...
Here's the poop on downloading, but keep it on the...
I’m new to illegally downloading stuff from the Innertube because I hate theft and jail time. I would never download anything mainstream or readily available within 10-15 feet from me. I search for those rare gems of films from my childhood or youth, lost cinema classics that Netflix never streams for free, PDFs of books only two people seem to care about, the guy who scanned it, uploaded...
