100 Word Challenge: Lose a Vowel #ewe 

Packy - Head Llama

So, I have been challenged with writing a brief note that is missing a vowel of my choosing. It was hard to choose, however I landed on the vowel ewe. I am speaking phonetically, to be clear, as I do not mean to talk at length with regard to an “of age” female sheep. I’m likely capable and mentally able to keep on prattling on, dealing with this whole sheep shenanigan, yet I believe that this time will be better served speaking on other matters directly related to the lack…

Best Movies You’ve Never Heard Of: Grindhouse #itsgogonotcrycry

Packy - Head Llama

2007’s theatrical release Grindhouse was the co-opted brain child of filmmakers Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. The concept was simple, make a double feature that hearkened back to the days of the old 1970s “grindhouse” films (although these type of films have been around since the 1930s), which were usually low budget exploitation films about bizarre subjects, monsters, violence, sadism, sex, and fast cars. Characteristically, these films had poor production value, abysmal film quality and were usually shown in theaters as a double or triple bill. In tribute to the…

#BowieDay #Tribute

Packy - Head Llama

  I had another blog post in mind for today, but after receiving the news that David Bowie had passed away early this morning, I opted instead to pay tribute to the iconic singer/songwriter. I’m not going to regale you with long lost tales from Bowie’s illustrious career or life, you have the Internet to help provide you with that. What I would like to do is declare January 11th officially Bowie Day and to share my five favorite tracks by the celebrated recording artist. I have always preferred celebrations to…

Sometimes, Trump happens, someone has to deal with it, and who you gonna call?  COMING SOON:  I was goofing off on MS Paint (at my work station options are limited), and came up with this silly little movie poster mock up.

I hope…

20 Miles to Texas #OriginalFiction #Script #Snippet

Packy - Head Llama

*** Brief introduction from the author – I have been, in some capacity working on this screenplay for quite a while. “20 Miles to Texas” is a horror script concept that deals directly with irrational fear and how each individual reacts differently to the idea of fear, which ultimately allows it to manifest in a way that is tailored specifically to the person experiencing it. The idea was to write a script that jettisoned the 90’s tradition of a slasher story that involved a cast of around 6 obnoxious teens where…

Goals for 2016 #realistic & #pipedreams

Packy - Head Llama

Yesterday, I wrote at length about a few of my favorite things about 2015, but nostalgia is so yesterday, so we’ll be moving steadily into the present today. It is 2016, and as such I have concocted a bunch of goals and dreams that I would like to achieve within the next 12 months. Some of these will be reasonable, and others are high apple pie in the sky goals, but if we don’t push ourselves to the limits, how will we ever discover what our true limits are? So…

I am…
