I was driving home from work the other night when I found myself having an odd wishing to have an answering machine again. The practical stupidity of this notwithstanding (i.e., I don’t have a home phone, nor have had one for time probably measurable in decades,) it wasn’t before I even got off the highway… Continue reading July 22 2019

My penmanship has gotten pretty impressive. It may not sound like much and it certainly isn’t anything I aspired to, but it’s important in a passive yet funny way. I’ll get there. When I went to NYU there were five separate acting programs to choose from: Strasberg, Adler, Playwrights Horizon, Experimental Theater Wing and Circle… Continue reading January 16, 2014

Usually when I write a blog, I know sort of what I’m going to say, at least to get to whatever the point of it I might be trying to make. In other words, the moral of the story is usually in the back of my mind when I start writing. This day the moral… Continue reading Janurary 4, 2014

I know that it may sound surprising, seeing as that I am a huge proponent of resolutions that change your life, but I’m actually not a big fan of New Year’s Resolutions. It isn’t the resolutions that bother me. I mean most people resolve for got things, and not to be meaner people or smoke… Continue reading January 1, 2014

I’m not going to lie, it threw me off a little when I didn’t see a blog from last Wednesday. And then I thought “Oh right, Christmas, no blog.” I guess it means something that I’m this aware of how often I am writing and want to be writing. Of course it probably means something… Continue reading December 28, 2013

I’ve been determined to write this blog for a few weeks now. Not that I’m going to write it, I don’t think I was going to say everything I first thought, only because between then and now I’ve learned a few more things about determination, but we’ll see where this rabbit hole leads to. There… Continue reading December 18, 2013

First song to set you on your way. One of my favorite jokes isn’t really much of a jokes. Most of my friends will tell you that many of my jokes aren’t really much, at least from a humor standpoint. They might be right. My favorite joke involves an eight year old boy, a thirty… Continue reading December 14, 2013

I didn’t pick the first song in today’s soundtrack because it is 78 and beautiful here and not those two things everywhere else. (I know better than intentionally pissing off my audience.) I like the message that JB got when he wrote this song. As I was writing the title, I almost put 1941 as… Continue reading December 7, 2013

Originally I was going to write about determination. Kind of surprising that word has not come up more often in my writing. In a sense it is a strong relative of motivation. To be motivated to do something you must have the determination to see it through. Of course, seeing as how my motivation has… Continue reading December 4, 2013

I’m not going to say it’s cold outside for two reasons. Reason one is that I live in one of the warmest places in the United States. If I say it’s cold, ninety five percent of the people I know will rail against me. (The other five percent live here.) Reason two is that it… Continue reading November 30, 2013
