I’ve been writing online since the mid-‘90s. Over the years, I’ve created dozens of blogs and websites, and Brandon’s Journal is simply the latest incarnation.
This site is a place for me to explore whatever happens to be on my mind, whether that’s comic books, movies, spirituality, video games, nostalgia, or life in general. There isn’t a set theme or posting schedule. It’s just a little corner of the internet where I can share bits and pieces of myself with the world.

About Me
My name is Brandon. I’m in my early forties and live in North Carolina with my wife and our two adorable cats, who bring an unreasonable amount of joy into our lives.
When I’m not writing, you’ll most likely find me playing video games, reading, or watching TV. I have a particular fondness for lost, forgotten, and rarely seen media, especially stuff from the ’80s and ‘90s, so you’ll see plenty of that around here.
If you’d like to get in touch, feel free to email me using this form.
