Beyond My Geeky Life

It seemed as if Disney was keeping all the Bantha milk limited to only being on sale at their theme parks. Now my guess is they have imported enough Banthas to Earth so they can produce enough Blue Milk that it can be found in the corner grocery store. It is amazing to me that it took over forty years for someone to see the value in marketing Blue Milk. As with anything seen in Star Wars, there is money to be made off us fans with putting that kind of stuff on store shelves. We got a half-gallon here and it we all like it.  A few years ago, during a trip to Disney World we got to try both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic versions, and my guess is you can find a few other mixed drink ideas using Blue Milk as the base on-line. There is an appeal to me for fun, novelty foods and I know I'm not the only one.

Our creations laugh and cry or live and die by our whims.  We play god with every story we write. I am also fairly sure we enjoy it, otherwise we wouldn’t keep doing it. I openly embrace my god complex. After creating the title for this collection, as I gathered up the pieces of fiction I wanted to include, I noticed about half of th...

I have been a huge Spider-Man fan ever since watching 'Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends' Saturday mornings in my youth. There was something there that drew me in more than any of the other super-heroes out there. I wanted to watch anything connected to Spidey, so it was no surprise that when I started to get into super-hero comics books, Spider-Man was the first one I started collecting and the only one I kept collecting when times were tough, and I had to budget things. When I have money, buying Spidey back issues in my main indulgence. As I look back it is easy for me to see why Spidey became my hero and why he is one of the most popular super-heroes ever, right from his first appearance. Spider-Man truly is the greatest every-man super-hero, created as a character you can relates to. From the get-go he was a person first and foremost, with human problems, human doubts and feelings. He was not the perfect clean cut super-hero with all the answers. He openly delt with insecu...
