– George R.R. Martin
In my years in this industry, easily 80% of the notes I’ve gotten from BS&P have been with regards to nudity and sexuality. The rest were mainly profanity and logos. I can’t even remember one note ever having to do with gore or violence.

The Wire: The Greatest & Secret Show
Ten years ago, The Wire debuted on the HBO network. It is universally praised as one of the greatest shows ever produced, and some critics claim that it is a better quality program than HBO’s higher-profile series’ The Sopranos and Six Feet Under. In 2008, the future president of the United States, Barack Obama, said that The Wire was his favorite TV series.
Despite the literal mountains of...

For Mother's Day
I have the best mother in the world. No, I’m serious, I really do. My mother is the best one in the world, and I wouldn’t want anyone else for the job. Period.
As far as I’m concerned, that’s where any debate ends on any other day; but this coming Sunday is Mother’s Day, which means that there should be some further action in gratitude for everything that our...

Travis
Today is my brother Travis’ twentieth birthday.
Travis is two years younger than me and for many years growing up, he was one of my best friends. We played together every single day, and we rarely fought. Like now, he was always very funny and smart. Over time both of those two qualities have just gotten stronger.
I still feel weird thinking that my little brother - the kind I used to...
Philosophers & Country Music
The other day, I went to Barnes & Noble to browse for any good reading material. When I walked in the door, the store provided instantly. On the clearance and bargain rack, there was a book called “Essentials of Philosophy: The Basic Concepts of the World’s Greatest Thinkers.” The bargain price was $7.98. I immediately grabbed it, and later left the the bookstore with it,...

Nashville Notes - Day 2 (Part 2)

The Grand Ole Opry
We left for the Opry in the late afternoon, after eating at the local Logan’s Roadhouse. The seats we purchased were on the second level balcony, and we had a very good view of the stage. Even if we hadn’t though, the Opry building had three huge TV screens that focused directly on the faces of the artists, so you could see them clearly. We found out that...

The Parthenon
The Parthenon is located in Nashville because the city used to be known as the “Athens of the South.” When I was writing the first draft of these notes, I was sitting on the actual steps. The monument...

Mom woke me up at 8:15 am that morning, and we met Grandma at the airport an hour later. We touched down roughly around 1:25pm, and once we got our rental car ( a very stylish Chevy Cruise) we had lunch at a place called...

DC's New 52: A Pleasant Surprise
Last year, DC Comics announced that they were going to cancel all their ongoing titles, and replace them with fifty-two new series, all starting with reset numbers; they called it the New 52. They also said that some of the stories were going to be retold, and some details of the universe would change. For example, Superman is no longer married to Lois Lane. It looks like the third Flash, Wally...

I Love This Song Of Ice and Fire!
The other day I tweeted this statement:
I’m 422 pages into #AClashofKings. I haven’t so thoroughly enjoyed a book series since Harry Potter. You can quote me on that!
-@JesseBlume28
I thought I’d take the time to elaborate on that a little bit more.
To say that I was a big Harry Potter fan as child is like the saying that Antartica is rather cold, or that the surface of...
