Happy 70th Birthday, Dad!! Dale Alvin Dillon (D.A.D.)

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY

DALE ALVIN DILLON (D.A.D.)

Dale Alvin Dillon (D.A.D. also my son's initials :o)

My daddy. He's done EVERYTHING! Vietnam vet, lived practically everywhere, done practically everything. Worked hard for 60-some years, most of the time multiple jobs. He was a cowboy, a writer, a factory working, a newspaper delivery man, a car repair man, a maintenance manager, acted in a movie, played in a band, built bridges, drove Johnny Cash around, and probably a million other things. Finally got to retire a few years ago. Takes care of my disabled mom. Put up with me through some really rough years. :o} And always, ALWAYS supported my dreams, no matter how kooky they were or how much they put him out.

He's still living in Kansas and I miss him like crazy. Can't wait to see him again and for him to meet my son. Hoping this year! Also hoping he gets off his rump and buys a computer so I can communicate easier with him, DAD!!! :o)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY!!

Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern!

I'm not against Ryan Reynolds at all. In fact, I like him a lot, but seeing Nathan Fillion here definitely gave the move a more serious tone for me. They'd better get him on a superhero movie at some point or else!!

NEW "Silent Hill: Downpour" Trailer Revealed!!

My wife and I are huge Silent Hill fans. In fact, while we were dating, it was the first movie we saw together, which is what got us hooked on the games. We even bought the silver Jeep Liberty from because we're geeks. :o) Anyway, this is the eighth installment in the series. It follows escaped convict Murphy Pendleton who has been trapped inside the town of Silent Hill as he was being transported to another penitentiary. Players will be able to delve deep into Murphy's past and see what's brought him to the town. CAN'T WAIT!!! But I have to! It's "Coming Winter..."

ART: How an Artist Can Evolve - Travis Charest

A lot of artists evolve over time, but I don't I've witnessed an artist do it as drastically and quickly as Travis Charest and doing it made him a superstar. That complete overhaul has always inspired me. So, this is the same artist for the same company just a few years after.

MOVIES: Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) - How'd I miss this??

How is it possible that I'd never heard of this movie before last weekend? WETA is doing the vfx which is awesome! I like James Franco a lot. And I like that they're adding to the story. Hope it's good! What do you think?

Currently Reading/Listening to: Stephen King's "Full Dark, No Stars"

Just finished the 1st of 4 stories, "1922" it was great! Eerie. Almost felt like Modern Poe! Great voice actors (A man and a woman). Starting the second story now. I'll add some more thoughts as I make my way through it. Oh, and see my previous post to see a picture of me standing in front of Stephen King's House in Bangor Maine. That was pretty stalker-ish, but also very cool to me. Makes him more human to me, which means if he could do it, I could make something of my writing, too! (So could YOU!)

Have a great day!

Awesome New CONAN Trailer!

Conan was an early inspiration for me, having picked up a few of the novels (Because of the Frank Frazetta covers, of course!) and my first fully developed longer short story (40 pages or so) was very much a Conan rip off!

Looks so awesome!
