I'm Brandon Sneed. This is my blog. It's basically an online notebook where I highlight good writing, storytelling, journalism and other acts of creativity, and explore how such things are made.
I'm an author and journalist who writes about people, sports, science, nature, and more. I love learning, adventures, life, and stories. I've covered everything from a guy who played Division I basketball while battling cancer ... to golf courses that eat golfers ... to turkey vultures invading a town. You can read all those and more below.

I love music. I'm always trying to find new good music. Sometimes it comes from obscure places I'd never thought to look before. Other times, it's from some of the most popular bands.
Don't know how often I'll update it, but I'll keep it over there on the left, in the sidebar. Just click play.
First one: OneRepublic's "Good Life," introduced to me by my brother, Kramer.

Not trying to take anything away from Kramer, but I definitely downloaded this entire album for us several months ago... He can keep the credit though, it's okay.
With that being said, good song.
Oh, man! That's right, you did!
You totally get half credit. My bad. This is why men should listen to their wives.
And yeah. Awesome song.
I decided today that I am going to make an upcoming season intro video for our basketball team using the inception song as a background. just in case you cared. thankyou for sharing that glorious song though.
