Blake M. Petit is a writer, columnist, reviewer, podcaster, actor, director, and teacher from Ama, Louisiana. He is the author of several novels, short stories and nonfiction examinations of geek culture available both in print and in eBook form. His original stage play, The 3-D Radio Show, was produced in 2004 and again in 2016.

Superman Stuff #15: The Superman Experience

Since Superman was released last summer, we’ve been working under the assumption that we would have to wait until 2027 and the release of Man of Tomorrow to once again glimpse that corner of James Gunn’s new DC Universe. Turns out, though, that for the lucky among us, that next glimpse is going to come as early as this Saturday, with the debut of the new “Superman Experience: Defenders Unite” exhi

Excellent conclusion of the series. Riordan brings together everything he's set up in an ending that's both fitting and powerful. He also breaks a bit from the formula of the first four books -- rather than a quest, the last 2/3rds of the novel are e ...more

“I don’t know what’s worse, your stupidity or your low opinion of me.”
Blake M. Petit, Other People's Heroes
tags: humor

“In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”
Theodore Roosevelt

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”
Albert Einstein

“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.”
Elie Wiesel

“Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.”
Groucho Marx, The Essential Groucho: Writings For By And About Groucho Marx
