It really is a wonder that children are as generally reasonable as they are considering what surrounds them. Adults have not only killed civility but we have pulled it apart, buried it, and then urinated on its grave. It would seem that as adults force children to grow up at a younger and younger age… Continue reading Down, Down, Down We Go

Art Is History/Art Is Commerce
It seems almost comical that we are suddenly thrust into a time of corporate greed and power that art can be made to casually disappear in order to save a few dollars. We are in a time when the malfeasance and poor business practices of corporations and mega-corporations has filtered down to the creative side… Continue reading Art Is History/Art Is Commerce
Finding Our Footage – found footage musings
As much as folks get burned out by found footage, I tell you what, I never have, and consider myself lucky. I can see why you would get burned out, the style of found footage films being so strong and pronounced, that it’s a bit like the superhero burnout. It makes sense. The thing though… Continue reading Finding Our Footage – found footage musings
Shrinkage
It was almost a corporate mantra for the months of Covid - No one wants to work! Over and over you heard or read it, on the news, on podcasts, in blogs, on the radio, and from business owners themselves. People just didn’t want to work anymore. Them lazy people were just happy to suckle… Continue reading Shrinkage
Eating On Our Dead
There is a very, very thin and very gray line between what is tasteful and what is tasteless. To dance on that line is the work of the comedian or the provocateur artist. Most of us try to walk that line while checking from time to time to make sure we’re not straying over it… Continue reading Eating On Our Dead
The Beast We Created
Sometimes it’s hard to blame a system for the cage we ourselves made. Sure, there are always people we can blame, faceless suits we can point a finger at and declare that THEY did this to us and that we are free of guilt but the fact is that in many instances we allowed them… Continue reading The Beast We Created

Comfort Food – blog
I don’t know if we will fully understand the cost we paid for Covid for many years. Not the cost in lives, or the cost in the economy, or even the cost in our children’s welfare but in the general welfare of the society as a whole. We paid a price that there was no… Continue reading Comfort Food – blog
Absence
It’s a shame that we focus so much attention on the space three feet in front of us and not the space around us because we miss so much. We are animals with a recency bias and while we look to the past, and think of the future, it is the moment that suspends us. … Continue reading Absence
What Is It That Opinions Are Like, Again?
Opinions are interesting, aren’t they? We are all entitled to them, we all have them, and most of us feel the need to spout them from time to time. With this blog, it’s opinions all the time. The thing with something like a blog though is it’s something you have to participate in, in that… Continue reading What Is It That Opinions Are Like, Again?
Sometimes We Have To Leave
I grew up a small town kid with a small town mind. I like scary movies, and drawing, and playing basketball in the driveway, and playing with my friends in the field across the street from me or the woods that was at either end of the road. We lived on a lake and lake… Continue reading Sometimes We Have To Leave
So Funny That It’s Scary – horror comedies
If there’s one subgenre that is either Pass/Fail with very little wiggle room it’s the horror comedy. You either get it right or you fail miserably. If you lean too much to one side and not the other everything can get derailed. Too funny, then it’s seen as a comedy. Too scary and it’s not… Continue reading So Funny That It’s Scary – horror comedies
Frayed
I saw something today that has stuck with me. I had dropped my daughter off and was grabbing a quick bite on my way to work when I saw a man and a little girl, bundled up and standing beside the entrance to the place I was going with a sign. I didn’t get a… Continue reading Frayed
