As this post is about me as a writer, let me do a solid to start. If you’re a blog writer, screenwriter, joke writer, or a like minded member of our ilk, what’s the dreaded word no one wants to hear or be accused of? Stealing. There’s no foolproof method of course, but I […]
Simply stated: another year, it’s been one of the best, and I wouldn’t be here living and loving the life without you. Thank you! We’re Takin’ Over! We Have The Truth! This Is The Mission To See It Through Don’t Point Your Finger! Not Dangerous! This Is Our Planet You’re One Of Us We’re Sendin’ […]
(Will neither confirm nor deny secretly converting to Scientology three years ago…) (Will neither confirm nor deny having a love/hate relationship with John Mayer for being the last person to make me cry uncontrollably (at MJ’s funeral)…) (Will neither confirm nor deny owning a pet bat who lives in my basement whose name is […]

I’ve been talking a lot about acting and writing as of late; today is a perfect day to let the intellectual have the floor. It’s a stereotypical joke but it was true in my family: my grandparents had the picture frame with Jesus in the center, Dr. King on one side, and JFK on […]
So I’m a little more confident in saying I’m in this week’s episode of ‘You’re Whole.’ And here’s why: My shoot day happened to fall during Ramadan. I was about a week in as I recall, so mentally (or so I thought) I was prepared. Get on set, Scene 1: ‘Eat those cupcakes! Drink […]
Where to begin with this one… All public record but a little of my own background again: both sides of my family are from rural Louisiana. Some of my most vivid childhood memories are of my father taking me to visit my great-grandmother and his aunt, and their small (I mean, three room small) […]
A good news and bad news day. First the bad news… If you missed the official afterparty for John Mayer at the Troubadour Saturday night, you missed something really special. But here’s the good news! All the releases have been signed, so we get to release this weekend’s performance as our first live album! […]
