Awesomesauce!

I know, you’re saying “Wow, T.J.’s posted a blog.” Amazing, right? Actually, I have a goal to post once a week this year. So far, I’ve failed. But I’m starting now. So, I’ve been using the term “awesomesauce” quite a bit over the past couple of years. The main reason for that is the awesome [...]

Book vs Movie

I’m sure I’ve hit this topic before. But I’ve had discussions recently where people say the Harry Potter movies ruined the books and my brain went haywire. So I have to rant about this topic. First, I’ve read all seven Harry Potter books. I’ve seen the movies that have been released. And anyone who says [...]

Rant This Way

Today I’m going to rant. Why? Because isn’t the internet used for people to give their opinions that no one cares about anyway? Seriously, one of my favorite scenes of You’ve Got Mail (yes, I like some chick flicks, deal with it) is when Meg Ryan writes an email with all her problems and states [...]

Willy Wonka and the Seven Deadly Sins

So, quick story, I was given some new medication and was told that it could make me drowsy or awake. Well, I decided to start it last Friday night because I’d rather not be able to sleep than fall asleep the next day and leave my wife with the two kidlets. Well, obviously, whatever I [...]

To Start or Not to Start

Prologue: This is the part of the book that people love to hate. What is it about the prologue that makes people so upset? The prologue didn’t do anything to them. It just tried so hard to stand out. That master, known as the author, gave the prologue its life. For whatever reason, the master [...]

Be Not Aware of Thursday the 13th

Last Friday, I posted on Facebook (and may have put it on this blog, if not I’m saying it again) that it had been 12 years since I got my drivers license. Yeah 12 years. I’ve been driving as long as the tweenies have been alive. Great. Well, today marks another day in useless trivia [...]

Subjectivity

Before I get into today’s topic, I must say that my favorite agent-focused blog is offering a contest for Fantasy/Sci-Fi writers that I intend to enter. (Funny, some people would probably advise me against it, but whatever.) Here’s a link to the “Guide to Literary Agents” blog contest. And I’ll have to add them to [...]

My Feel Good Moment

There is no way I’m going to be able to top my most previous post. Yesterday, I had over 200 visits to my blog. From the looks of it, over 180 unique people reading “Timothy Types TMI” in one day. The only way I’m going to get more visits is if I were to actually become a [...]

In the Public Eye

I hated the Bulls for taking the reign of ‘awesome NBA team’ from the Lakers in the 90s (thankfully, my Lakers took it back). But I do have to say, Michael Jordan was an awesome basketball player. His skill on the court was unmatchable (kinda still is.) But one misstep in his life did cause [...]

Yppah S'lirpa Loof Yad

If you can’t figure out today’s blog title, well, then: E-M-E-T-I-B, now reverse it. Mother nature decided to play a nice joke and make us think it’s winter outside. Seriously, I think I see Santa and his reindeer out there looking confused. (And everyone in Utah is making this same dumb joke.) Actually, I’m absolutely [...]
