If You Only Watch One Video Today… #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain

Packy - Head Llama

Super Tuesday is tomorrow. A time in which a hefty chunk of the states in the USA will vote for their favorite Republican or Democrat candidate for president in state level primary elections. This is likely the end of the road for most of the candidates involved, and will offer a clear path to being the nominee for the most winning Republican and Democrat candidate. This is our last opportunity to draw a line in the sand and stop somebody who is undeserving and/or not qualified to hold the highest…

PSA: No New Blog Posts This Week, Also Readers Needed – Apply Within! #AmWriting #TIAL

PSA: No New Blog Posts This Week… Except This One! I have been taking this week to focus on my writing, which is actually one of the major goals of starting this blog up in the first place. As such, I will not have much time to dedicate to new blog entries for this week. Instead, I have been editing a novel that I have been writing for a while now, in the run up to completing the handful of chapters that I have left to type. The problem that…

Coming Soon: Internet @UnburntWitch @tim_cook @Snowden #ZeroCool #GamerGate

Packy - Head Llama

In light of all of the Internet related shenanigans that have been going on over the last few years, I have decided that it is well past time to put a film together that addresses the core issues of the modern ‘net. You have GamerGate, Security and Privacy Concerns as well as a Shady USA Government which seems exceptionally content doing absolutely nothing to address and/or fix these issues. However, we do have heroes that are fighting against the system to ensure that we don’t go gently into that good night. They…

Gun Frontier #VideoGame #FreshIdea #ThoughtExperiment @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN

Packy - Head Llama

A while back I wrote a mock up for a video game that i wanted to create. I did this as more of a thought experiment, and as such had a lot of fun with it. I lack the skill to make such a game, but perhaps one day I will turn it into a novel or a screenplay. Hey, maybe Hideo Kojima is still trying to figure out what his next big game should be, if so I would be glad to sell this concept to him and serve…

Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: The Rentals – Seven More Minutes #moog @therentals

Packy - Head Llama

Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: The Rentals – Seven More Minutes Some records fit us like a glove, regardless of whether or not the lyrics or narrative match up with our life experience. These albums transcend normal connective barriers on the basis that the content has transferable relatability. For me, The Rentals second LP release: Seven More Minutes is that type of album. Whereas a lot of the album deals with a seemingly ongoing long term off and on again relationship with an eccentric American man (front man Matt…

Better Things #CheerUp @TheKinks

Packy - Head Llama

I’ve been in a grumpy mood today. Now, to be fair, there were a number of mitigating factors that contributed to my current state of mind, but regardless, my state of mind is my own and I am in charge of maintaining its well being. To sit here all pissed off does myself no good, does my family no good, and frankly isn’t going to accomplish anything positive. But then what could be done about it to cheer me up? And that’s when it hit me… Here’s a little message…

Coming Soon: Marco Headroom! @marcorubio #25SecondSpeech #Rubio

Packy - Head Llama

The election cycle during Presidential election years can be particularly grueling in the United States of ‘Merica. You often get to see the best and the worst of each candidate in mostly equal measure. On rare occasion you get to see a candidate lose his shit like a shit collector with amnesia. That rare Pokemon occurred last Saturday when Republican hopeful Marco Rubio short circuited on the stage and repeatedly spouted off the same sentence over and over again parroting his memorized 25 second speech. Just take a gander at…

Diabetic Dracula – Was it a Gerbil or a Hamster? #DiabeticDracula

*** Author’s note: if you have not witnessed the birth of the new legend, then I highly suggest that you read the woeful first tale of Diabetic Dracula!  If you elect to skip the origin story, well then the count respectfully invites you to “vuck off!” Choose wisely reader. ***   Diabetic Dracula: Was it a Gerbil or a Hamster?By: PackyIt was an obnoxiously warm night in the Casa de Dracula, or at least the Master thought it was. A single bead of sweat slowly swam its way down the…

Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: Codeine Velvet Club @jonfratelli @LouHickey

Packy - Head Llama

Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: Codeine Velvet Club Brief derail before I actually start: I think Codeine Velvet Club sounds like the kind of place where you would expect Andy Warhol and Lou Reed to be smoking a joint and laughing at people while they simultaneously had an intellectual conversation about the minutia of detail in the art design of various modern day bubble gum wrappers. OK, but seriously, let’s try this again… Best Albums You’ve Never Heard Of: Codeine Velvet Club I have never stated as such on my…

People Suck, Wait, Social Media Sucks, No Wait People on Social Media Suck #WholeLotOfSuckingGoingOn

Packy - Head Llama

Friends are the worst. Wait, that’s not fair. Friends are amazing, valuable people. Social Media, and by extension how people choose to use it, is the worst. There, that about sums it up. Good post. See you tomorrow with a new Best Album You’ve Never Heard Of! No? Elaborate? OK. Since you (I assume) asked, here’s my point: Social Media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.) have given everyone a voice, and that’s a beautiful thing in some ways. For the LGBTQ community, it has allowed them to find and connect with…
