This morning I found myself watching Bet On Your Baby on Hulu. It basically boils down to people betting that their children won’t succeed at things, or getting really bummed when they don’t do things because that was a $5k mistake. Does anyone have a recommendation of something better to watch on either Hulu or […]
“That one,” I said timidly pointing at the top corner of the back wall. The corner was a bit dark and dusty. My request was met with a glare of judgment that only a 32 year-old man with an impressive beard in an independent record can give. Though, not too dissimilar to the glare you […]
The past few weeks I’ve been making jumps towards making my dreams come true, I also got new glasses, which is a big deal, because they are like — part of your face. They are like my old ones, but a different color. My favorite ice cream flavor is french vanilla. I swear I am […]
Rushing up to the undertaker’s office, I am hoping to see some rusted old-fashioned medical tools. With a hand on the door, I notice an old man with an overweight golden retriever and an oversized cowboy hat. “The undertaker died” he said in his gravelly voice.

“Damn it, Hugh, the cigarette lighter, where did you leave the G-d damned cigarette lighter?” Phillip thrust his hands in his back pockets, “Damn it, Hugh, never mind!” Phillip lit up a packaged cigarette, grabbed the TV remote and joined a Law and Order: SVU marathon, despite not being predispositioned to join anything. “Damn it, […]
I have this collection of weird wood things that is essentially my best friend finding random wood art and gifting items to me as an ongoing birthday present. This might be one of my favorite corners in my room.

Not danger like walking down a back ally alone (at midnight), but danger in choosing to live your life how you want to (at midnight — or otherwise) and confronting your fears for the sake of your personal journey. Simmering in your fears can be awkward for everyone, like the claustrophobic stranger in […]
A man’s journey down Santa Monica Blvd. ended with two hookers, an open window and a double dose of Christina Aguilera. Los Angeles can be a dirty place, like the suspect’s theatre-top apartment and his wardrobe that serves as a vague homage to Dennis Rodman. This is where the rest of the story gets more […]
