Many of you have watched me adjust to a life of order. The weird days, the peaceful days, and the resentful days. I’ve never been the hold on to anger type, really, but it’s human to look back at things you would do differently, knowing what you know now. Today I was reminded of […]
No post tomorrow, taking a daytrip shortly. Feels like first vacation in my adult life where I’m not actually trying to ‘get away’ from anything; it’s just the right time since the summer will be full. I’ve been trying to find the right words for where my head has been this year. But a […]
Looking out Across the nighttime The city winks a sleepless eye Hear her voice Shake my window Sweet seducing sighs Get me out Into the nighttime Four walls won’t hold me tonight If this town Is just an apple Then let me take a bite If they say, Why, why, tell ’em that […]
Another rotation around the sun nearly complete. I’ve lived long enough to exist in Trump’s America. Hooray… Nearly all of us in life, will experience some personal and professional setbacks that screws up our plans.

Feels like I’ve been living in my rage nonstop for months now. And I know I’m not alone. This has been the first couple of days in a long while where I’ve been able to properly channel my anger and be balanced and focused on the work I’m trying to do. So…we hustle with […]
As I’ve expressed to those close to me, I’ve officially made the transition from ‘being surprised/relieved’ at being happy and content most of the time, to now accepting this is my default attitude. So as I have peace and optimism in my home, I can refocus my anger, resentment and theatricality in a constructive […]
Nominated for Best Documentary Short this year at the Academy Awards, ‘The White Helmets’ takes the audience (especially in America) a front row seat to a place we hear about daily on the news but don’t actually experience. The White Helmets are a voluntary rescue group in Syria who go into the heart of […]
I came to the realization a few days ago that most likely for the rest of my life, a major aspect of my private life will no longer be private. And in the short term it’s shaping national security for the worst. If that’s the way it is, fine. But I’m going to be […]
