Jack Parsons (Jack Reynor from Sing Street and Macbeth), a brilliant and ambitious blue-collar worker of 1930s Los Angeles, started as a janitor at a chemical factory but had fantastical dreams that led him to birth the unknown discipline of American rocketry. Along the way, he fell into a mysterious world that included sex magick rituals at night, ultimately becoming a disciple of occultist Aleister Crowley. Parsons used Crowley’s teachings of self-actualization to support his unimaginable and unprecedented endeavor to the stars.

As of today, it has been eight years since I launched Rueben’s Ramblings, as a companion site to my long-running, weekly column over at NiceGirlsTV.

It certainly has been an amazing journey, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of my readers.

I want to thank everyone who has stopped by to read my entertainment reports, all the articles and spotlights, the year-end round-ups and the ratings results – among all the other “stuff” – that I have posted here over the years.

My time working on this site has also been made all the better thanks to the help of my photographer Dominick Dusseault and my monthly guest commentator, Roz.

I hope you will continue to visit Rueben’s Ramblings as often as you can.

As always I am available by email to answer any entertainment questions you may have. You can email me at ruebenpreymate@gmail.com
