About
I’m an aspiring writer of all kinds of topics. I’ve dabbled in sports writing, covering some of the local professional teams in Phoenix, Arizona, done a bit of work for the Associated Press and have written for local papers.
Writing about sports can really turn into a drag after awhile, because you lose the love you had for it to begin with, which is the reason you picked up a pen in the first place!
Now I write about what I love and enjoy the most, and that mainly has to do with the world of entertainment and being a critic of that world.
Becoming a full-time movie critic would be a dream of mine, so I’m trying to accomplish that by doing it here for free. For the time being. Depending on how things go, you may all wish you had been my friends before I am sitting next to Richard Roeper on At The Movies!
Okay, maybe that wont happen, but I do love to be a critic of all genres. Not just movies and television, but also music and books.
This blog is my outlet for my opinions and feelings on these topics. I try to write on information that will be worthwhile to YOU, my readers. I have high standards when it comes to books, movies and television, and those standards will be passed on to you.
A Mike Life is also meant to be more than just a place for me to write and you read. I have been involved in creating a few massive online communities and I live for interaction with you guys.
So get involved, pass on info to me that you think I should know and become a part of this place!
As I said before, I’m also an aspiring writer and have a short story and full-length novel in the works and try to get to them from time to time.
I hope you enjoy what’s going on here, because this is what I love and nothing is so much fun being a part of than something someone loves.

So does that make you habitually random? Interesting…
