I’m Making an Exclamation! Or: Dear Exclamation Point, No Quarter Given
Here Ye, Here Ye… That sounds official, right? Like some HUGE announcement is about to be made? Yeah, well…I have one. It’s more of a warning, really. A shot across the bow, if you will. To the exclamation point. You know…this guy? → ! Yeah, that’s right. I’m talking punctuation baby. Actually, I’m talking TO… Continue reading I’m Making an Exclamation! Or: Dear Exclamation Point, No Quarter Given
The Happiness You Take is Equal to the Happiness You Make
I think the discussion of destiny or fate comes around on its own. Whether you believe in a life that is destined to happen or not, there is no denying inevitability. Happiness in my life is a choice, one I make every day. It is a skill to cultivate, like any other. Life isn’t just… Continue reading The Happiness You Take is Equal to the Happiness You Make
They Speak Yoda…
I’m having a conversation online and suddenly I’m Jar Jar Binks. I don’t particularly like Jar Jar Binks. If I’m going to be a character from Star Wars, I’d like to be someone cool. Not some dopey sidekick who uses “me” instead of “I”. But I fat fingered the keyboard and instead of typing… Continue reading They Speak Yoda…
They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To
I was just a kid. Not old enough to know anything, but old enough to know something. Old enough to know that if I made goofy faces and danced like a monkey my mom would laugh. Or my brother. My dad too. Every once in a while I’d get the neighbors, but it could be… Continue reading They Don’t Make Them Like They Used To
I’ve Been Staring at a Blank Page for Three Days
I’ve been staring at a blank page for three days. Wondering. What do I write? What am I thinking? What was I thinking? Such are the conversations in my head. The never ending conversations. Well, okay. Sometimes they’re arguments, and I lose…but does it count if I lose an argument to myself? I’m still wondering.… Continue reading I’ve Been Staring at a Blank Page for Three Days
Hanging Out with Tron
After eleven years I had the opportunity to reconnect with an old friend, Bruce Boxleitner. The man known as Tron, Captain John Sheridan and Lee “Scarecrow” Stetson was just as I had remembered. He was funny, engaging and generous with his time. He is a true professional, but even more he is a wonderful man.… Continue reading Hanging Out with Tron
The Not-So Justified League of Ordinary Superheroes
I haven’t been social lately. Don’t take it personal, it’s not you…it’s me. I’ve actually been busy. Behind the scenes stuff. I have a book coming out and I want it to be perfect. For you. How’s that for guilt, huh? I could be Guilt Man, Superhero Conqueror of Self Confidence! And there you… Continue reading The Not-So Justified League of Ordinary Superheroes
We, the People…
I love people. Well, for the most part. There are times when I don’t care for people at all. I think we all have those moments. You know, when the people behind you in the movie theatre are talking or texting or doing the candy wrapper crinkle? Those people… Unfortunately, there are a lot of… Continue reading We, the People…
Doing Your Best at this Moment Puts You in the Best Place for the Next Moment
I have a competitive streak in me. Just ask my brother. He is three years my senior, and though we are (cough, cough) mature adults we are still competitive. It is mostly trying to make the other laugh when we talk on the phone, but isn’t that enough? Our conversations are like Comedy Central Roasts,… Continue reading Doing Your Best at this Moment Puts You in the Best Place for the Next Moment
