Song of the Day – ‘Flashing Lights’

  My body feels like I’ve been in a car accident (ahh the first solid week back working out), my head is throbbing from a migraine (weird weather), and I have more questions than answers in my life at the moment. In a larger sense though, I’m actually pretty happy.  My routine is somewhat back […]

On the Other Side of Peace

  As this Ramadan ends, I thought I would have a lot to say.  But maybe not as much as I first thought. Fasting has an interesting effect on the body and the mind.  I can only truly speak for myself, but I know of what it does to me and others: violent mood swings, […]

Song of the Day – ‘Top Billin’

Song of the Day – ‘Let’s Stay Together’

Song of the Day – ‘The Final Countdown’

  A pilot pitch to polish… Five character voices to master… A quick scene to shoot and edit… A paycheck to nail down… And Ramadan coming up fast… So…you may not get one of my deep, introspective posts for a few weeks. In the meantime, I offer you this. Enjoy!
