Good night and good luck

Peace out, kids.  I’m shedding this mortal coil collaborative blogging experiment, or rather, it’s shedding me.  Either way, I’m moving on to different, if not greener, pastures.  You can find shiny new rants and ramblings – and old and rusted ones – at my blog, A Good Idea At The Time. Keep an eye out there: I’ve been working on a massive, multi-part refutation of libertarianism – if you’re into that kind of thing.  I’m also going to be writing a entertainment news column at The Faster Times starting in August.  Now, I take the terms ‘entertainment’ and ‘news’ seriously, so don’t expect to see the latest Miley Cyrus upskirt pics there.  Sorry, but that’s just not going to happen.

I’ve had a great time writing for True/Slant under the watchful eyes of Michael Roston, Andrea Spiegel, and Coates Bateman.  I can’t thank them enough for the opportunity and advice they provided along the way.  And to my loyal followers, casual readers, and unhinged trolls, I appreciate your interest in my blabberings and hope you’ll continue the conversation at my new haunts.  So long and thanks for all the fun.

    About Me

    As a young boy growing up in a small rural town in western North Carolina, I had one simple dream: getting the hell out of a small rural town in western North Carolina.

    Kidding, kidding! I love the South. Where else on Earth could produce both Flannery O'Connor and Lil' Wayne?

    But I have always felt the pull of the big city, and the promise of action, adventure and all-night bodegas that come with it. I've lived in San Francisco, LA, and New York, and I've been lucky enough to work as a television editor for such networks as VH1, BET, CMT, Lifetime and The Travel Channel. I enjoy documentaries more than anything, though, and I'm currently doing research for my own: an investigation of that ongoing American obscenity we call the Drug War.

    I'm also a writer forever straddling the line between fiction and nonfiction. Screenplays, skits, polemics, plays, blogs, short stories and personal essays: don't make me pick just one, I love 'em all. On True/Slant you'll find me in scavenger mode, digging up bits of interest from all corners of the internet (it has corners, right?). From politics to pop culture, from the truly idiotic to the truly inspired - it's all grist for the mill.
