Welcome to my new blog!
R-Trey
Which shall stand for the three
R’s:
Read Write Review
And the fact that I am the third
Robert in my family line.
So,
I love movies.
I love books.
I love football.
I love writing.
So heck, why not devote a blog to
everything?
I promise you, the reader, that I
will do my absolute best to stick to the schedule that I have outlined at the
bottom of this post. It basically has me putting out a minimum of 3 new posts a
week, along with a recap every Sunday. On the first week of every month,
however, I will have 3 monthly posts that will give you a full week of reading!
May you enjoy my writing and reviews as much as I enjoy completing them.
Forward unto Dawn!
Monday: Ginseng (for the
Soul)
-This is a weekly starter for
everyone (including me) by posting one short poem and a joke (which I hope some
will help me with finding!).
Tuesday: This Is a Football
-Yes, I am totally going to reuse
my old blog name for this monthly series! This will ALWAYS focus on everything
football related, and may vary in length according to how much is happening or
what I have time to write! Expect this every first Tuesday of the month.
Wednesday: The Should, the
Could and the Empty (Film Snob)
-How could I possibly make a blog
without a weekly movie review? This will focus on either films in the theaters
(as I see them), Redbox rentals (when I see them), or great movies from recent
memory that not enough people saw (as I call them). I will also put TV show
reviews in here whenever I have space.
Thursday: 451 Kindlings
-This will be a monthly series
that focuses on reviewing books that I have read, either very recently
(preferably) or that I find in my bookshelves and remember that I love! This will
be posted every first Thursday of the month.
Friday: Flashback Fridays
-I will also have a second series
devoted to films, but this will be for those that have past their expiration
date. As of right now, I have a series titled Revisiting the Movies that I will be posting in this space, which
revisits every year of film up till today from the 1890’s. Once that finishes
up, I will go right into a new Top 50
Films of All Time.
Saturday: The Writer Within
-A writer’s blog cannot be
complete without a timeslot for my own writing, whether it be short stories,
long poems, essays, rants, or even previews of novels/novellas that I am
working on. This will pop up on the first Saturday of every month.
Sunday: Retrospection
-Finally, there will be a weekly
recap of all that I have posted from Monday through Saturday, in case you
missed anything and just wanted the gist (but you would never do that to me,
right?).
FYI:
-I will totally take requests for movie/book/TV show/video game
reviews! Ask me questions, make requests, do whatever. I’ll name small blogs
like these Robbin’ Good.
-I personally guarantee that
Ginseng, Film Snob, and Weekly Recaps will occur weekly, but since my schedule
fluctuates, I cannot do the same for the other series. On the other end of the
spectrum, however, if I find that I have extra time, I might post a bonus blog!
We’ll call these the Flubberghasts
(why? Well, I like the word flabbergasted, the movie Flubber, and Ghasts from
Minecraft… don’t judge), and they will pop up from time to time. One might say
they’ll bounce in and out, destroy the ordered world, and otherwise flabbergast
the readers (ha, all three meanings, awesome).
Enjoy!
-Robert DB
