The quick and easy Personal Pizza

by Jonathan on Mar.09, 2009, under Cooking

This is one of my favorite meals during the week - “PPN” or “Personal Pizza Night”. I get to make it my way, with my toppings, with no compromise - it’s all me!

But they are super easy, and really only take, maybe 30 minutes all said and done. So easy, anyone, including those who are not inclined to cook or think they have no cooking abilities could easily make these.

The 15 Albums - or how was my life changed through music (part 2)

by Jonathan on Mar.06, 2009, under Life, Wordpress

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series 15 Albums

Alright, so I left off with 8 albums. Really I was just having trouble coming up with the last 7 albums, but I think I have that under control now - I think.

The next couple of albums, are more about a person. The music was just part of the soundtrack at that time, but stand out as the most memorable. While the two albums share more than that in common, they were albums that got me through a lot.

Black House - A review

by Jonathan on Mar.03, 2009, under Book, Reviews

When was the last time you watched a horror movie? Did you notice anything about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through? Namely, that it just seemed go to crap?

Can you see where I’m going here?

As much as I liked the Talisman, and as much as I like Stephen King, this book led me into a false sense of security. I was excited finding a book that was a continuation to one of my favorite books “The Talisman”, and maybe that was my problem. I’ve only recently allowed Stephen King back into my graces due to one of his latest books “Duma Key” (I’ll have to republish my review later), but this book was written back in 2001 in which I was still boycotting his books.

The 15 Albums - or how was my life changed through music (part 1)

by Jonathan on Feb.22, 2009, under Life, Wordpress

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series 15 Albums

Sure, it blossomed out of a Facebook meme. Someone me tagged in their list and so that means I have to complete my own list, right?

But I wanted to take more time, and craft a response about than just albums. I wanted to look in and remember the music that took me through the pains and joy of growing up. I will depart I’m afraid from the strict guidelines of only albums - because as I sat and tried to remember everything, it wasn’t always albums, it may have been singles or the bands themselves. I may even pass the 15 number also - but it’ll be alright, it’ll be fun to churn the sediment that was my life…

I’ll be honest, I don’t remember owning any of my own music until high school. I mean I remember music, but just not having my own, it always seemed like I was listening to the radio and that was about it. As I talked to my wife about this, I recalled that I might have made the occasional mixed tape off the radio, but I never owned anything - probably due to lack of funds.
