I’ve been reading people’s complaints about Lost and feel I must chime in. After all, if there are to be this many detractors, someone has to come to its aid.
Lost has, since immediately after season 1, completely gone off the rails. I don’t mean that in the sense that story or suspense has become too [...]

Here’s a word cloud for this site. Impressed, eh?

Create your own crap at Wordle.  And now I’m back to work.

There are words to describe <redacted to protect anonymity>.  You will find them in the following word cloud.

I’m sure you now know why I couldn’t post that on Linkedin…because they would yell at me.

Disappointing Days

Laziness set in quickly.  Then, boredom.  Then, I got yelled at by my wife.  And now I’m trying harder.
That sounds much harsher on my wife then it should.  She didn’t “yell” at me, per say, as much as read an essay by George Orwell about the downfall of writing and excerpts from a book about [...]

“Make it Work”

The creative process is mythical and never clearly defined.  At no point in college does anyone say “this is how to write a story” and offer step-by-step instructions.  We required to figure it out for ourselves.  So, we spend time on ideas, accumulated into Moleskines or folders on your hard drive, and structure, on notecards [...]

Then what does Colorado have?  …mountains?  Let me see them…all right, you win this round.  Keep tuned to the Now? section for pictures of our many adventures!
We’re in the Denver area, hanging out, attempting to not count our chickens before they’ve hatched, and look for work.  As it stands we haven’t found much on this [...]

Well folks, the time is nigh.  A week from today we fly to Colorado to begin our eventual move to Pasadena.  It’s an exciting and extremely stressful moment in our lives as we’ve only been married two weeks now and started to get a handle on life as a couple.  Now its time to throw [...]

Taking a break now, I’d like to tell you all what is and has been going on in the world of David and the great balloon heist…err, the move to L.A.
There have been many conversations and folks sent my way by way of conversations with folks that have lead me to understand, a bit, of [...]

The thing about reality…

Its been a while.  A long while.
Since I last wrote I went back to college after a five year hiatus, got engaged, and graduated.  After that has been a bit of a blur.  Wedding planning hasn’t gone as we had hoped – you know, simple and easy – and we’re both trying to figure out [...]

Mostly, it’s about the responses

The Soul Pancake folks brought Fifty People One Question to my attention, a site that mirrors, in some ways, one aspect of Soul Pancake, and I felt it necessary to point you all in that direction.  The point is to ask one (or two, in many cases) question of fifty people and film their responses.  [...]
