I’m the worst… but I’m trying to get better! #realtalk #amwriting

Packy - Head Llama

I’m the worst… but I’m trying to get better! Real Talk about how I am failing as a writer. I really am the worst. Not at everything, mind you (nobody is completely rubbish, we all have our positives). I’m a great husband and father. I’m an excellent cook and can make a mean pulled pork, as well as many other fine dishes. I do exceptionally well under pressure, whether it be work related or personal in nature. I’m awesome at video games (a useless talent, though it may be), and I know…

Actor Casting in Beloved Franchises: The Thousand Pound Gorilla in the Room

Packy - Head Llama

Actor Casting in Beloved Franchises: The Thousand Pound Gorilla in the Room The announcing of casting for a beloved character in popular franchises, especially in those based on comic book properties, is a highly anticipated event. It’s damn near a spectator sport. Although, unlike going to something like a baseball game, watching the reactions to these casting announcements is more akin to watching the Christians being thrown to the lions. You never really know what kind of reaction you are going to get, and yet somehow the reactions seem to always…

The Monkees – Good Times: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review @theMonkees

The Monkees – Good Times: The Official Nerfed Llamas Review – Still Monkee-ing Around After 50 Years If you had told me on January 1st 2016 that not only would the Monkees release a brand new album (their first new album in 20 years) but that it would be a serious contender for my album of the year, I would have told you that you were crazy. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Monkees. Their brand of jangle-bubblegum-pop from the sixties is a tremendous list of amazing songs. Daydream…

Doctor Strangehair: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Male Pattern Baldness

Packy - Head Llama

Hair today, gone tomorrow: Fact: I have been struggling on a very personal and emotional level, for going on over a decade now. Always in a constant and bitter war, one that I have been forever destined to lose… against my hair. Born with naturally thin and flighty hair, I stood on fairly shaky ground to begin with, but somewhere in my mid twenties, my hair started to evacuate my scalp much like rats deserting a sinking ship. My hair has always been a bit of an enigma. As a…

I Only Want the Things I Cannot Have… #hopespringseternal

I Only Want the Things I Cannot Have… Growing up in the days before the proliferation of the Internet, I didn’t concern myself with the minutiae of the status of entertainment projects. Much like the hefty majority of the world, I enjoyed the content that was available and didn’t say much more than “aw man!”, whenever a TV show I liked got cancelled, or when James Cameron didn’t get to make his Spider-Man movie back in 1992 (although it appears we may have dodged a massive bullet on the latter).…

What a Week That Was… #readmyblog #dammit

Packy - Head Llama

What a week! It’s a been a roller-coaster trying to maintain this monstrosity of a blog the last few weeks. With so much going on in my personal and professional life, it’s been difficult to keep up with this non-paying part time job. But I’m back like a Spinal Tap this week! A full slate of content was unleashed on the masses: bed head, the start of an original story, movie reviews, and a web comic! Plenty to keep you entertained for quite a while. If you ever wanted to…

A Special Message From The Sticky Notes Gang: #LoveWins

Packy - Head Llama

A Special Message From The Sticky Notes Gang: #LoveWins I’m not sure why this was ever even up for debate. All people should be equal to experience the joys, successes, pains, and disappointments of life without regard to race, gender, religion or partner preference. It is a good day to be a human being. Congrats to all affected positively by the legalization of gay marriage in all 50 states. To anybody that today’s news might piss off: get bent! Also, I couldn’t miss this opportunity to show the Sticky Notes…

Burning the Candle at Both Ends

Packy - Head Llama

 Lately, I’ve been tired. Dead tired. Too tired to think. Too tired to hear the first 3 or 4 times that my alarm goes off in the morning. So tired that I find myself struggling to find the energy to do all the things I have to do, much less the things I’d like to do. I know what my problem is, but I’m just not sure how to fix it. I burn my candle at both ends, constantly. My average hours of sleep each night is 4, which was…

Until Dawn – How Deep Does the Rabbit Hole Go?

Packy - Head Llama

  Earlier this week I spoke at length about the style of video game that I prefer to play currently. By and large I’m all about playing games that give you a lot of decisions to make, ranging from dialogue options to actions taken to how I’m allowed to react to situations. In researching my earlier blog post, I discovered this hidden PS4 exclusive game that had just been given a fresh release date of August 25th. Until Dawn is a survival horror video game that allows you to control…
