THE EGOMANIACAL NEWS ANCHOR

Wed, 06 Dec 2023 15:15:46 GMT

I've worked in the television business for many years. Most of the people I have worked with have been great team players and we enjoy producing newscasts and our profession. However, there are a couple of people I would not want to work with again for sure. Here is one such story about that experience.

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 15:10:52 GMT

SONS OF ANARCHY REVISITED: A LOOK BACK AND MY TAKE ON RECENT VIEWINGS OF SHOWS

Thu, 02 Nov 2023 13:34:44 GMT

I previously reviewed the Mayans M.C. show, the follow-up to Sons of Anarchy. Recently I have been dropping in and out of watching certain episodes of Sons of Anarchy again. And I'm just as impressed with the depth of the show and how they made it. I revert to what I said comparing it to Mayans MC. There really is no comparison. Mayans MC on its best day ever is only maybe 20% of what Sons was.

A HAUNTING ON HART ROAD: IT'LL SCARE THE PEE OUT OF YA!

Fri, 29 Sep 2023 12:30:42 GMT

It's that time of year! At my house we love October and Halloween season. This story chronicles a true life journey of 5 teenagers seeking out a rumored haunted house on Hart Rd. near Farragut-Knoxville, TN. We set out in a tiny 1977 Toyota Celica and came out alive, barely. The episode image is NOT an actual picture of the house! Keep in consideration this was in the 1990's when smart phones and handy cameras did not exist, so unfortunately I have no visual record of the house, only my stellar memory and this story. Footnote to story: My daughter asked me a few years ago to drive by this area, and it was as I suspected. Nice new homes where all up and down the road which formally had only this one broken down, spooky house on it.

I know what you're thinking. Nope! This is a lovely story about a lovely lady, Well, ugh not so much. Ok, ok, she was NOT a lovely lady, as my dad once said about someone else "she was not blessed with great beauty". Not only that, she was not lovely to deal with as a coworker. She was a jealous, vindictive, person as you will hear. Hang on for the ride.

Fri, 04 Aug 2023 08:18:27 GMT

SOMEWHERE IN TIME....1991. This was an interview I conducted in high school as a school project for a public speaking-speech class, believe it or not. The subject retains anonymity and his voice was altered to protect his identity. I was a kid at the time, so my voice was slightly altered from what it is today as well!
