This whole Highway 10 Revisited thing is far from being autobiographical. It's more like a close look at the deepest darkest lightest fluffiest portions of my mind. Every now and then, I might need to make an announcement, like "Hey I died, don't expect any more from me" and things of the like (or more likely, making excuses why I took a leave of absence for a randomly long period of time).
What better place to do that then right... HERE?!?!?!?!?!

-----July 19th, 2012 - Not This Time, Nayland Smith.-----
Chris at "Not This Time, Nayland Smith" was kind enough to give me an award. His site is awesome, GO CHECK IT OUT. Although I won't propagate the award forward, since I am currently at work, I will answer the eleven questions he asked while on my lunch break. I am also supposed to post eleven things about myself. Let's see if I can do it. Oh yeah, and give it to eleven people and notify them. That's tough but I'll try.
11 Questions:
1. New or early Batman movies?
I'm going to be different and say Mid-Period Batman, because Batman and Robin is SO MUCH FUN to make fun of.
2. What's the longest you have ever gone without sleep?
It was somewhere between 40 and 48 hours. The details are hazy, because I fell asleep somewhere in there.
3. Your most hated TV show.
Any of the Real Housewives shows. Or Pregnant Teens. Or any of that shit. There are far too many to mention. Pretty much anything that glorifies SHITTY BEHAVIOR.
4. Gamer or not?
Used to be a gamer.
5. Favourite music?
Impossible to answer that. I'll just say honest music.
6. Favourite movie genre?
Zombie. Obviously.
7. The one country in the world you would love to visit.
New Zealand.
8. Favourite book?
World War Z.
9. Tea or coffee?
Coffee forever.
10. What's the craziest film you've ever seen?
That's hard to pinpoint, given the types of films I watch, but I'll just say Nightmare City, since I love it so much.
11. What do you do to chill out after a long day?
Usually watch political TV.
11 Things About Me:
Pass. Just read eleven posts from this blog, and you'll have more than that.
11 Links:
TBD.
-----November 4th, 2011 - Get to Know Your Bloggers.-----
Britnie at It's On Random did an interview with me, and followed it up with some of the nicest things that anyone has ever said about me. So, yeah, go check out her awesome blog.
-----September 14th, 2011 - Zombie Hall.-----
I was given an award over at Zombie Hall.
-----July 30th, 2011 - Zombies Everywhere.-----
Mr. Zombie was nice enough to interview me and post it at his blog Zombies Everywhere. Go check his blog out. This was the interview part:
1. How you first got involved in with blogging?
When I started going to Open Mics, and I was writing a lot of material, I had too much stuff to fit into the small Open Mic time slots (usually 4-5 minutes max), so I needed a place to organize my routines, and see how they looked on paper. Eventually people other than my wife, brother and Mom started reading it. So that's how it started.
2. Favorite Zombie movie?
Tough question. Pound for pound, the original 'Dawn of the Dead' probably IS the best, but Fulci's 'Zombie' (a.k.a. 'Zombi 2') is probably my favorite oldy. But then again, I also love the new classics like 'Shaun of the Dead' and '28 Days Later'. If I had to pick, and clearly I have to, since you ARE pointing a gun to my head, I'd have to go with Peter Jackson's 'Dead Alive' (a.k.a. 'Brain Dead'). It has it all, good story, good characters and probably the most gore you will ever see.
3. What do you do when you aren't working on your blog?
You mean aside from watching zombie movies, looking for obscure zombie movies at the movie store and thinking about zombie movies? Most likely I'm at work, hanging out with my awesome wife, pretending to exercise, eating something I shouldn't be or breaking into song for no reason (I'm definitely breaking into song).
4. What’s the best thing a blogger can give to his readers?
Honestly, I'd say giving them something that they want to read the whole way through. Cut the bullshit! (Lord knows that I'm still trying to figure out how to do that with my own writing)
5. Where would you go when zombies invade?
Back to Canada, the true North strong and free. Mostly because zombies would freeze up there, and winters would be safe. And yes, I learned that from reading 'World War Z' (by Max Brooks). Unless it's an alien zombie kind of thing, and they can't freeze, then I think I would just find a bomb shelter and hope for the best.
6. Everyone has a favorite/least favorite post. Name yours and why?
Posts of my own? Least favorite is easy, it's a tie between all of the posts where I am simply explaining why I haven't been writing as much lately. Actual favorite? Usually tends to be whatever I have most recently written, because it's fresh and I'm excited to try it out and see if anyone else finds it funny.
7. Name some of the bloggers whom you look up to and why?
Mostly I look up to bloggers that write good stuff, have tons of readers, and seem to post new stuff ALL THE TIME. If you fit that criteria, then hopefully I follow your blog and currently look up to you. I'm lucky if I write something new once a week.
8. Name 3 Weapons you would use in a zombie apocalypse and why?
1) A good pair of running shoes (there's a reason I run everyday, Romero-style zombies will be easy to outrun)
2) A gun suitable for a beginner, like an uzi (you just spray the area, oh, and aim for the head area)
3) A really big tank, to sleep in at night and drive around in (they can't get in, also, preferably it would be one that has a nice bathroom with a jacuzzi tub)
9. If someone was interested in blogging, what would be a few things you would suggest?
Figure out if you actually like writing before you start, because if writing is a chore to you, don't bother (unless of course you have a photo blog, art blog, cartoon or whatever blog, then figure out if you like doing those things). Don't rip off someone else's ideas. Be prepared to read lots of blogs (if you don't read other people, don't expect them to read you), to write lots of comments (NOT anonymously) and somehow, strangely, to start thinking of people you've never seen nor met as your friends, because blogging is a twisted sort of community. Oh, and don't be too hard on yourself, I'm sure what you just wrote is good (ok, that one was aimed at myself).
10. Favorite quote?
When you watch and re-watch movies as much as I do, you could go on forever with awesome movie quotes (even if you didn't mean movie quotes, I am taking this question as favorite movie quotes). The following are examples of some choice lines that I will say at random, even if it makes no sense in the conversation (my wife can attest to this).
"Nice hat." - Matt Stone in 'Cannibal: the Musical'
"Think about skimmin' the pool? It needs it." - Gene Hackman in 'Get Shorty'
"They mostly come out at night, mostly" - Newt in 'Aliens'
"You know the nazis had pieces of flare, that they made the jews wear." - Ron Livingston in 'Office Space'
"As you Americans say we shall play for keeps." - Crazy German guy in 'Three Amigos'
"Like a big ol' hat. BEEE OOOO WOOOOP." - Jack Black in 'Orange County'
"What's wrong with being sexy?" - Nigel Tufnel in 'Spinal Tap'
"I hate quiche." - Charles Bronson in... honestly, I don't remember the name of the movie
"Don't pull the trigger. I'm a bleeder!" - Woody Allen in 'Play it Again, Sam'
-----July 25th, 2011 - Zombie Hall.-----
I love movies. One part of my brain can sit and appreciate a Woody Allen movie in all its glory, while on the other side, lives a part that craves a good Zombie movie in all its gory. The inner dialogue (or monologue, depending on how you want to look at it) that I have while watching movies, is always between two characters:
Allen Starkwell
Named after the prolific filmmaker, Starkwell was born to like Woody Allen's movies. When he is not talking film with Lovelock, he can be found sitting alone in a dimly lit and humid room perfecting his inner monologue and working on his Stand-Up routines. He sincerely feels that the comma needs to make a comeback.
Lionel Lovelock
Zombie movie enthusiast, Lovelock has made it his mission to see every Zombie movie he can get his hands on. When he is not conversing with Starkwell, you will find him furiously working on his novel and/or rummaging through the sale bins at local movie stores. He hates quiche but often will order it accidentally thinking that it is pie.
Zombie Hall is a place to document snippets of these inner conversations as I continue my never ending quest to find that perfect film, a marriage of all of the things that I love about movies.
Zombie meets Annie Hall. Zombie Hall. Get it? Got it? Good.
Check it out if you have a chance.
-----June 24th, 2011 - Get On the Mic.-----
What happened? Life happened. I promise I will do my best to post once a week.
-----May 10th, 2011 - I Gots Me Some Awards.-----
Paul gave me an award for writing great comments. Or maybe it was for having a sexy blog. I'm really not completely sure, but what I am sure of, is that Paul's Blog is awesome and should be read. NOW.
-----May 4th, 2011 - Moving Sucks.-----
If anyone is reading this, you will notice that April was a slower-than-usual month for me, in terms of writing, and subsequently, posting. I was moving. Packing, changing addresses, signing leases, talking to the people who will eventually move into our old place, having visitors randomly, and also being THOROUGHLY lazy whenever I did have some free time for writing.
Well that's all done now, and the Internet/Cale/Phone was just set up and so, now, I truly have no more excuses. Consider this UNCLOGUE Vol. II. I look forward to writing some more and receiving all of your feedback which I hold so dear.
-----April 26th, 2011 - Three Months and the Awards Go To.-----
Antares Cryptos has graciously awarded me for the comments that I leave on his site, which is interesting since he ALWAYS leaves comments for me, and they are ALWAYS awesome to read. He is definitely more than just, as he has stated, a "Ghost in the Machine."
Once again, whether or not there are rules to be followed, I cannot follow them at this time.
-----February 22nd, 2011 - I'm It!-----
Vinny at As Vinny C's It tagged me. Which means I'm it. I never was much good at tag. I was always more of a hide and seek player, because it allowed me to work on my ninja skills, which I was convinced would come in handy when the zombies came to eat our brains. Pipe dreams I guess. According to the rules of this "tag", I am supposed to answer nineteen questions that seem deeply personal. I will answer them as impersonally as possible.
1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family?
Yes.
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be?
Jem and the Holograms.
3. What is the one thing most hated by you?
Applebees.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars?
Probably find a safe place for it.
5. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood?
Well shit, a billion dollars.
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone?
Being someone. Actually, sneezing, because someone always says bless you.
7. What is your bedtime routine?
Sleeping.
8. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your partner?
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
9. If you could watch a creative person in the act of the creative process, who would it be?
The Keebler Elves.
10. What kinds of books do you read?
The kind with pages.
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time?
Probably with a crystal ball. Not sure if I would want to.
12. What’s your fear?
What like MY fear, the fear of me? I'd call it Kev-o-phobia.
13. Would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to visit outer space?
Yeah, because up there there are unlimited Moon Pies and Star Crunches.
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor?
Single and rich, and then get married, and become married and rich.
15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?
Get out of bed.
16. If you could change one thing about your spouse/partner what would it be?
It would be pretty cool if she was able to fly.
17. If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be?
Burt Malone.
18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done?
I'd forget to forgive.
19. If you could only eat one thing for the next 6 months, what would it be?
Pepperoni sticks, we've been over this.
I also need to tag four people, which I will in a bit, but right now I am at work and have a meeting.
Later that day...
Sara Swears a Lot.
Pickleope.
The Didactic Pirate.
Tattytiara.
Tag, theys it.
-----February 17th, 2011 - Happiness in Slavery.-----
Kage at Sex, Sequins and Sociopaths gave me an award! For being Stylish! Just be warned, that if you click on the link for her blog, you will be presented with boobies, love letters to Henry Rollins and some good ol' sarcastic charm. All of these awards come with rules, and since I am currently at work, I will not follow them. Speaking of which, the boobies shown on the above mentioned blog might not be suitable for work... oops.
-----February 7th, 2011 - Losing a Person.-----
Seems like I lost a follower. This is the first time that it has happened to me, so obviously, I am tormented and heartbroken. I'll have to assume that their name is Kaedin or Shnaydyn or Bimothy.
Bimothy, wherever you are, I am sorry. Please come back.
-----February 4th, 2011 - What the Hell Happened to my Updates?-----
Ok, so I was in the process of writing an update about an award given to me today, when my browser closed. Now, not only did I lose what I was writing, but everything that I put in the updates page since last month. I will now attempt to reconstruct everything, but if I missed anything, please do let me know.
So, I got an award from Hannah at Erratic Questions. Very nice of her, she is even newer to this than I am, and her blog is worth a look! The award comes with rules as do most, and I was actually all set to obey them for a change, but now I'm just too aggravated at internet. Okay, fine. I won't list seven things about myself, but I will link to this. I am then supposed to list ten bloggers and notify them of their new award. Rather than do that, I will please ask you to check out my THANK YOU section on the bottom right.
All of those blogs are cool, and have been very supportive of my writing.
-----January 30th, 2011 - Re-Gifting Isn't Just for Christmas.-----
Dr. Cynicism at Cynicism 101 has given me the Count award that I have previously received from Miss Nikki. Thank you sir, as I have previously said, it is easy to come up with good comments when the posts are amazing.
-----January 28th, 2011 - Feelin' the Love.-----
Vinny C at As Vinny C's It has given some sort of award monster. I don't know exactly which award it was, but it seemed to combine eight million different awards. Which means that there is NO WAY I will be able to follow the awards.
-----January 26th, 2011 - Writing Hard.-----
Glen at Glen's Life said some phenomenally nice things about me and awarded me with a shiny new award. His blog is great, and inspires me to write more, write better and yes, WRITE HARD. So, to receive such a prestigious award from him is pretty damn cool.
According to the rules, there's a bunch of stuff I won't do, but then it asks to name three more blogs. Will do.
Think.Stew - Hilarious dude, cracks me up. Between the epic tales of lost mitts and the inspirational Wordfuses, dbs always inspires me to WRITE HARD.
Notes From Underground - Chris is sometimes serious, sometimes funny and always great. Makes me strive to write much harder.
Late to the Party - Hilarious ladies Lorraine and Roxanne make me laugh a lot. So much so that I can forgive their abbreviated lingo. Keep writing hard ladies.
-----January 24th, 2011 - Someone Sent a Little Love my Way.-----
Paul at "I took the one less traveled and it has made all the difference" said some very kind things about me and made me feel really awesome. So thank you, sir. I promise I will try and write more often. Again, I'm not sure what exact award I was given, but I know that the rules mashed together would require me to publish my diary and list ten thousand blog. I will pass and just suggest that you check out Paul's blog.
----- January 14th, 2011 - I Count on You to Make Me Laugh.-----
Miss Nikki over at My Cyber House Rules was kind enough to give me an award for writing a funny comment. I have no idea how these award things even work, but I will at the very least try and answer the question that she asked along with it. Anyone can feel free to let me know if I did anything wrong!
"do your witty answers pop instantly in your head when you read the post with an immediate urge to hit the comment button or do you have to sit and ponder?"
The answer is both I guess. In the case of the comment in question, I must confess I went through a couple of drafts. The post made me laugh hard enough that I felt it deserved a well crafted response. Thanks for the support!
-----January 6th, 2011 - The Ten Turns One.-----
All I can really do is strive not to take any long hiatuses like I did last year. Unless I move to another country again, I am confident I'll be alright. Maybe expect a lot more Writer's Block posts...
-----August 9th, 2010 - Unclogue.-----
What better place to do that then right... HERE?!?!?!?!?!

-----July 19th, 2012 - Not This Time, Nayland Smith.-----
Chris at "Not This Time, Nayland Smith" was kind enough to give me an award. His site is awesome, GO CHECK IT OUT. Although I won't propagate the award forward, since I am currently at work, I will answer the eleven questions he asked while on my lunch break. I am also supposed to post eleven things about myself.

-----February 17th, 2011 - Happiness in Slavery.-----
Kage at Sex, Sequins and Sociopaths gave me an award! For being Stylish! Just be warned, that if you click on the link for her blog, you will be presented with boobies, love letters to Henry Rollins and some good ol' sarcastic charm. All of these awards come with rules, and since I am currently at work, I will not follow them. Speaking of which, the boobies shown on the above mentioned blog might not be suitable for work... oops.
-----February 7th, 2011 - Losing a Person.-----
Seems like I lost a follower. This is the first time that it has happened to me, so obviously, I am tormented and heartbroken. I'll have to assume that their name is Kaedin or Shnaydyn or Bimothy.
Bimothy, wherever you are, I am sorry. Please come back.
-----February 4th, 2011 - What the Hell Happened to my Updates?-----
Ok, so I was in the process of writing an update about an award given to me today, when my browser closed. Now, not only did I lose what I was writing, but everything that I put in the updates page since last month. I will now attempt to reconstruct everything, but if I missed anything, please do let me know.
All of those blogs are cool, and have been very supportive of my writing.
-----January 30th, 2011 - Re-Gifting Isn't Just for Christmas.-----
Dr. Cynicism at Cynicism 101 has given me the Count award that I have previously received from Miss Nikki. Thank you sir, as I have previously said, it is easy to come up with good comments when the posts are amazing.
-----January 28th, 2011 - Feelin' the Love.-----
Vinny C at As Vinny C's It has given some sort of award monster. I don't know exactly which award it was, but it seemed to combine eight million different awards. Which means that there is NO WAY I will be able to follow the awards.
-----January 26th, 2011 - Writing Hard.-----
Glen at Glen's Life said some phenomenally nice things about me and awarded me with a shiny new award. His blog is great, and inspires me to write more, write better and yes, WRITE HARD. So, to receive such a prestigious award from him is pretty damn cool.
According to the rules, there's a bunch of stuff I won't do, but then it asks to name three more blogs. Will do.
Think.Stew - Hilarious dude, cracks me up. Between the epic tales of lost mitts and the inspirational Wordfuses, dbs always inspires me to WRITE HARD.
Notes From Underground - Chris is sometimes serious, sometimes funny and always great. Makes me strive to write much harder.
Late to the Party - Hilarious ladies Lorraine and Roxanne make me laugh a lot. So much so that I can forgive their abbreviated lingo. Keep writing hard ladies.
-----January 24th, 2011 - Someone Sent a Little Love my Way.-----
Paul at "I took the one less traveled and it has made all the difference" said some very kind things about me and made me feel really awesome. So thank you, sir. I promise I will try and write more often. Again, I'm not sure what exact award I was given, but I know that the rules mashed together would require me to publish my diary and list ten thousand blog. I will pass and just suggest that you check out Paul's blog.
----- January 14th, 2011 - I Count on You to Make Me Laugh.-----
Miss Nikki over at My Cyber House Rules was kind enough to give me an award for writing a funny comment. I have no idea how these award things even work, but I will at the very least try and answer the question that she asked along with it. Anyone can feel free to let me know if I did anything wrong!
"do your witty answers pop instantly in your head when you read the post with an immediate urge to hit the comment button or do you have to sit and ponder?"
The answer is both I guess. In the case of the comment in question, I must confess I went through a couple of drafts. The post made me laugh hard enough that I felt it deserved a well crafted response. Thanks for the support!
-----January 6th, 2011 - The Ten Turns One.-----
All I can really do is strive not to take any long hiatuses like I did last year. Unless I move to another country again, I am confident I'll be alright. Maybe expect a lot more Writer's Block posts...
-----August 9th, 2010 - Unclogue.-----
Went through a big life change and moved from Canada to the US... That's as detailed and personal as I'm getting. But after all the insanity, I started writing again after a MUCH TOO LONG hiatus.
I had just finished a round of Open Mics and decided I needed a place to gather my thoughts and write them out in a way that I like. Also, here there is no flashing red light to cut me off, so I can beat the joke to death ALL I WANT!

That's it. I'd tell you more, but then I'd have to kill you.
